Abstract
A magnetic resonance (MR) signal receiving apparatus has multiple local coils, capable of separately receiving MR signals generated by a body in an MR examination, each of the local coils having multiple antenna units and a time division multiplexing module. The time division multiplexing module enables MR signals received by the antenna units separately to be provided as an output by just one output line. The apparatus also has a reception coil channel selector having multiple input interfaces connected to the respective output lines of the multiple local coils, and a combiner in the reception coil channel selector that combines in time or power, all or a portion of the MR signals of the local coils, to form one or more MR composite signals.
