AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Transporting patients, especially sick or heavy individuals, from one surface to another for magnetic resonance examinations is cumbersome due to the height of conventional magnetic resonance local coils, which act as a barrier and complicate lateral movement.

Method used

A magnetic resonance local coil arrangement with a lower part having a height of less than 1/3 to 1/4 of the total height, allowing easier patient positioning by reducing the barrier during lateral transport and enabling a smaller mechanical and electrical connection mechanism for the upper and lower parts.

Benefits of technology

Facilitates easier patient positioning and reduces the effort required to move patients onto the examination table, enhancing the workflow efficiency in magnetic resonance examinations.

Abstract

The invention relates to a magnetic resonance local coil arrangement, a system with a magnetic resonance local coil arrangement and a patient support device, a magnetic resonance device, and a use of such devices. The magnetic resonance local coil arrangement comprises a lower part and an upper part, wherein the lower part and the upper part, in a connected state, delimit a spatial volume in which a body part of a patient can be supported during a magnetic resonance examination. The lower part is designed to be positioned on a patient support device of a magnetic resonance device for performing the magnetic resonance examination. The lower part and the upper part, in a connected state, have an overall height, wherein the lower part has a height of less than 1 / 3, in particular less than 1 / 4, of the overall height.
