MRI-monitored equipment with built-in MR signal reception coil and signal emitter
First Claim
1. A magnetic resonance (MR) system comprising:
- a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus;
MRI-monitored medical equipment;
said magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising a control unit that monitors said MRI-monitored medical equipment;
said MRI-monitored medical equipment comprising an inductive coil fixed in said MRI-monitored medical equipment that detects magnetic resonance signals from a subject and radiates electromagnetic signals corresponding to the detected magnetic resonance signals; and
said magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising at least one receiving coil positioned externally of said MRI-monitored medical equipment, said at least one receiving coil being connected to said control unit via a cable, and said receiving coil being inductively coupled with said inductive coil and receiving said electromagnetic signals wirelessly radiated by said inductive coil of said MRI-monitored medical equipment and supplying the received electromagnetic signals to the control unit.

Abstract
In a system having a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus and MRI-monitored medical equipment, the MRI-monitored medical equipment has an inductive coil built into the equipment that receives magnetic resonance signals from a subject and generates inductive electromagnetic signals according to the received magnetic resonance signals. The magnetic resonance imaging system has at least one reception coil that is positioned externally of the MRI-monitored medical equipment and that is connected to the magnetic resonance imaging system via a cable. The reception coil receives the electromagnetic signals that are generated by the inductive coil that is built into the medical equipment.
