Abstract
Some aspects comprise a tuning system configured to tune a radio frequency coil for use with a magnetic resonance imaging system comprising a tuning circuit including at least one tuning element configured to affect a frequency at which the radio frequency coil resonates, and a controller configured to set at least one value for the tuning element to cause the radio frequency coil to resonate at approximately a Larmor frequency of the magnetic resonance imaging system determined by the tuning system. Some aspects include a method of automatically tuning a radio frequency coil comprising determining information indicative of a Larmor frequency of the magnetic resonance imaging system, using a controller to automatically set at least one value of a tuning circuit to cause the radio frequency coil to resonate at approximately the Larmor frequency based on the determined information.
