Abstract
A system (SYS) and related method for supporting MR imaging. The system (SYS) comprises a logic (CL) to receive a measurement from RF sensors (SS-) arrangeable outside a bore (BR) of an MR imaging apparatus (IA). The logic processes the measurement to establish i) whether there is at least one surface RF coil present that is not electrically coupled to circuitry (SPC) of the MR imaging apparatus (IA) and/or ii) to localize at least one surface RF coil on or at a patient table (PT) of the MR imaging apparatus.
