Abstract

The application relates to a shoulder local coil system (10) for a magnetic resonance tomography system (550) for generating magnetic resonance images of a shoulder region of a person to be examined (19. The shoulder local coil system (10) includes a base plate (100), a fixed or removable cover plate (11) over the base plate, and a flexible local coil (110) arranged wholly or partially movably between the base plate and the cover plate. In addition, the application further relates to a high frequency reception apparatus (560) and a magnetic resonance tomography system (550) for generating magnetic resonance images which include such a shoulder local coil system (10), and relates to a method for generating magnetic resonance images of a shoulder region by using the shoulder local coil system (10), the high frequency reception apparatus (560) and the magnetic resonance tomography system (550).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a shoulder local coil system for a magnetic resonance tomography system, in particular a shoulder for receiving magnetic resonance signals in a magnetic resonance tomography system for producing a magnetic resonance image of the patient's shoulder region A shoulder local coil system, a radio-frequency receiving device, a magnetic resonance system with such a shoulder local coil system, and a method for producing magnetic resonance images using such a shoulder local coil system. Background technique [0002] In an MRI system the body to be examined, i.e. the patient or a part of the patient, is usually placed in a defined basic magnetic field (often referred to as B 0 field) system. In addition, a magnetic field gradient is applied by means of a gradient system. A radio-frequency magnetic resonance excitation signal (HF signal) with a defined field strength is then transmitted via the radio-frequency transmission system by mea...
