Abstract
A position detection apparatus including: an electromagnetic induction module configured to send to a mode triggering module an induced voltage signal generated due to a change in a magnetic field; a mode triggering module configured to output a preset trigger signal based on the induced voltage signal, the trigger signal corresponding to the induced voltage signal; and a signal generating module configured to generate an analog signal of a first mode corresponding to the induced voltage signal based on the received trigger signal, and send the analog signal of the first mode to an MR receiving module of an MRI system via an antenna module, so that: the MR receiving module judges whether the wireless squeeze ball has entered the interior of a body coil from outside a tubular body of the MRI system, based on the analog signal of the first mode.
