  • Patent number: 12385995
    Abstract: A local coil control apparatus and a wireless local coil in a magnetic resonance imaging system. The apparatus includes a control signal transmission unit, the control signal transmission unit including a wireless receiving unit, a control signal extraction unit, and a control signal distribution unit. The wireless receiving unit receives, by a receiving antenna, a signal from a radiofrequency power amplifier emitted by a body coil of the MRI system, and transmits the signal to the control signal extraction unit; the control signal extraction unit, if it detects that the signal is background noise, generates a control signal instructing a local coil unit to switch to a tuned state, and, if it detects that the signal is broadband noise, generates a control signal instructing the local coil unit to switch to a detuned state, and distributes the control signal to each local coil unit through the control signal distribution unit.
