Patent ID: 6937016

Claim:
A reception device for a magnetic resonance tomography installation, comprising: a first reception coil for detecting an electromagnetic radio-frequency wave emitted by an examination subject in whom nuclear spins have been excited and for producing a reception signal therefrom; a first amplifier supplied with said reception signal from said first reception coil, which generates an output signal dependent thereon; a second reception coil for detecting said electromagnetic radio-frequency wave and for producing a reception signal therefrom that is phase-shifted with respect to the reception signal of said first reception coil; a second amplifier supplied with said reception signal from said second reception coil, which generates an output signal dependent thereon; a common signal line connected to said first amplifier and to said second amplifier for tapping the respective output signals of said first amplifier and said second amplifier and in which the respective output signals are superimposed to produce a raw signal in a form for magnetic resonance image reconstruction; and at least one of said first amplifier and said second amplifier compensating said phase shift between the respective reception signals.
