Patent ID: 7834628

Claim:
An arrangement for transmitting magnetic resonance signals respectively generated by individual antennas of a magnetic resonance local coil, said arrangement comprising: a plurality of reception branches, each reception branch comprising one individual antenna of the local coil and an amplifier connected thereto that produces an amplified magnetic resonance signal as an output signal of that reception branch on a magnetic resonance signal acquired by the individual antenna; a multiplexer having a plurality of multiplexer inputs respectively connected to said plurality of reception branches to receive the respective amplified magnetic resonance signals therefrom, said multiplexer emitting a resulting signal at a multiplexer output by time-multiplexing the respective amplified magnetic resonance signals from the reception branches; a transmission path having a first end connected to said multiplexer output; a receiver connected to a second end of said transmission path that receives said resulting signal from said multiplexer output via said transmission path and said local coil having a local coil housing, and said plurality of reception branches and said multiplexer being contained in said local coil housing.
