Abstract
A method is provided for performing a quality analysis of a radio frequency (RF) coil of a magnetic resonance imaging device. In an operational mode, the RF coil is configured to acquire MR signals from an object to be observed. In a test mode: a test signal is emitted by a RF transmitter; the test signal from the RF transmitter is received directly by the RF coil, wherein the RF coil provides an output signal; and a performance indicator is provided by analyzing the output signal of the RF coil for performing the quality analysis.
