Abstract
In a magnetic resonance coil selection method and selection computer, a range parameter of a target region (ROI) to be detected is acquired, and a detection range parameter of each available coil is acquired. A coil having a detection range that overlaps with a range of the ROI is determined and then selected. The selected coil is then used in the operation of a magnetic resonance scanner to acquire magnetic resonance data. The SNR of the magnetic resonance scanner is thereby increased, so as to improve the imaging quality.
