  • Publication number: 20170281004
    Abstract: A method for performing an examination includes at least one magnetic resonance-based and at least one further examination step. An examination object is positioned during the entire examination on an upper side of a transfer plate that is positioned on an object table during the magnetic resonance-based examination. At least one coil holder that includes at least one local coil or by which at least one coil device is supported is used during the magnetic resonance-based examination step. The coil holder is arranged on the examination object during the magnetic resonance-based examination step exclusively. The coil holder is supported during the magnetic resonance-based examination steps by at least one mounting, into which a supporting section of the coil holder engages and/or which engages into the supporting section of the coil holder.

  • Patent number: 9527644
    Abstract: A device for transporting and installing a compressor is provided. The device includes a container serving to receive the compressor, with at least one removable planar side element, as well as a multipart lifting device which may be disassembled into its individual parts for transportation, and may be arranged in the container and after assembling the individual parts is designed such that the compressor may be fastened to the lifting device and may be lifted by means of the lifting device.

  • Patent number: 8085048
    Abstract: An arrangement to detune a reception antenna in a local coil of a magnetic resonance system, with at least one reception antenna that is fashioned as a loop antenna and that has at least one first capacitance. Radio-frequency signals of a magnetic resonance examination are received via the reception antenna. A switchable detuning circuit contains the first capacitance connected to an oscillating circuit and a first inductance. A reception device to receive a control signal is coupled with the oscillating circuit. The reception device switches the oscillating circuit into a high-resistance state given a received control signal so that a receipt of a radio-frequency signal via the reception antenna is prevented. The reception device is fashioned to receive a wirelessly transmitted radio-frequency control signal. The radio-frequency control signal has a frequency that lies outside of the bandwidth of the radio-frequency signal used for magnetic resonance examination.
