AI Technical Summary
The increasing number of receive channels in magnetic resonance imaging systems, particularly surface coils, leads to large bandwidth requirements and significant data storage needs, posing challenges in transmitting and processing magnetic resonance imaging data effectively.
Integration of a digital combiner with antenna elements to combine magnetic resonance imaging data into a fewer number of digital virtual channels, reducing the need for multiple radio frequency connections and data transmission, using techniques like time division multiplexing and serial communication.
This approach reduces bandwidth and data storage requirements while maintaining image quality, allowing for efficient data transmission and processing, even with increasing numbers of antenna elements.
