Abstract
A wireless remote control unit () that operates in the radio frequency bandwidth is used for interfacing with a sequence control system (B) and an image processing system (C) from within a magnetic resonance suite (A) in the presence of a magnetic field produced by a main magnet assembly (). The sequence control system and the image processing system are connected with a first wireless transceiver () whose antenna () is located within a magnetic resonance suite. The first transceiver () communicates with the remote control unit () and a second transceiver () connected with a transmitter () and gradient coil amplifiers (). Resonance signals received by a radio frequency coil () are communicated to the first transceiver () by the second transceiver () or by a transceiver (') mounted on the receiving coil. The receiver coil transceiver also engages in a handshake protocol to identify itself.
