Patent ID: 8436614

Claim:
A magnetic resonance local coil arrangement comprising: a base body; a local coil mounted to said base body, said local coil being configured at least to receive magnetic resonance signals emitted due to excitation of nuclei in an examination subject in a volume region in said base body in which a marker substance is located that also emits a magnetic resonance signal upon excitation of nuclei in said marker substance; said base body comprising a controllable shielding and a control element that controls said shielding; and said control element being configured to be selectively placed in either of a first control state or a second control state and being configured, in said first control state, to cause said shielding to not shield said volume region containing the marker substance so that magnetic resonance signals emitted from said volume region containing the marker substance contribute to a magnetic resonance image, and being configured, in said second control state, to cause said shielding to shield said volume region containing the marker substance so that magnetic resonance signals emitted from said volume region containing the marker substance do not contribute to a magnetic resonance image.
