Abstract
An example multi-channel magnetic resonance (MR) system is described. The system includes a plurality of radio frequency (RF) coils and a plurality of spectrometer transceiver channels. Each of the channels including a spectrometer coupled a respective set of the RF coils. The spectrometer is configured to transmit RF signals to excite respective RF coils and to receive MR sensor signals from the excited respective RF coils responsive to excitation thereof. The spectrometer is configured to perform MR spectrometry to provide MR measurement data based on the received MR sensor signals for the respective channel. A synchronization module is coupled to the spectrometer of the respective channel. The synchronization module is configured to synchronize the spectrometer of the respective channel with spectrometers in other channels via a communication link.
