Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which in some embodiments a thermal sensor of a magnetic coil of a magnetic resonance imaging system (MRI) is positioned, placed and/or mounted externally to the magnetic coil. The external placement of the thermal sensor does not require replacement of the entire magnetic coil, yielding less expensive replacement of a failed thermal sensor.
