Abstract

A local coil may have a mounting, at least one antenna, and a flexible element. The mounting may position the local coil in a specified position relative to the head of a patient, where the antenna may receive high-frequency signals in a frequency and power range of a magnetic resonance (MR) measurement. The flexible element may at least partly form the local coil on the surface contour of the patient's head. The local coil may at least partly surround the patient's head when the local coil is positioned during use, and a section of the local coil including the antenna can be positioned on the patient's temporomandibular joint using the mounting. The local coil may receive MR signals of the temporomandibular joint using the antenna. A MR device may include the local coil and detect MR signals of a region of the patient using the local coil.
