A system for controlling a wireless-type radio frequency (RF) coil apparatus () for a magnetic resonance (MR) system including a processor for acquiring emitted radio frequency (RF) signals from a plurality of coils of an RF transducer array including an indication of a local clock signal indicating a time of (RF) signal acquisition; acquiring magnetic field strength information from a plurality of field probes of a magnetic field probe array including an indication of the local clock signal indicating a time of magnetic field strength information acquisition, and forming k-space information based upon the acquired emitted RF signals from the plurality of coils of the RF transducer array and the acquired magnetic field strength information including the indications of the local clock signal.

Wireless-type RF coil apparatus comprising an RF transducer array and a magnetic field probe array

A local magnetic resonance (MR) radio frequency (RF) coil () includes a fixed size coil housing () with an internal opening () which receives a portion of a subject anatomy for imaging. The internal opening () includes a narrowed portion () and a divergent portion () which accommodates variable sizes of subject anatomy. A first size of antenna () is disposed in the housing () adjacent the narrowed portion () of the opening and at least a second size of antenna () larger than the at least first sized antenna () adjacent the divergent portion of the opening.
