Patent ID: 7486077

Claim:
A magnetic resonance system comprising: a magnetic resonance data acquisition base unit configured to receive an examination subject therein, said base unit comprising an excitation region in which nuclear spins are excited in an examination subject to cause emission of a magnetic resonance signal; a patient bed configured to receive an examination subject thereon, said patient bed being movable in a travel direction relative to said base unit through a travel range, to bring said examination subject into said excitation region; a local coil that acquires said magnetic resonance signal; a plurality of patient bed coupling elements that are electrically connected to said local coil, said local coil being stationary relative to said patient bed; an evaluation device that evaluates the magnetic resonance signal acquired by said local coil; a plurality of base unit coupling elements in communication with said evaluation device, said evaluation device being stationary relative to said base unit; and said base unit coupling elements and said patient bed coupling elements being located relative to each other to feed the magnetic resonance signal acquired by the local coil to the evaluation device when, and as long as, said patient bed has moved by a predetermined segment of said travel range, with a degree of coupling between said patient bed coupling elements and said base unit coupling elements, in total, being constant within said segment of said travel range.
