Abstract
In order to configure a transmission coil of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system without taking a specific measurement object into account, the transmission coil is automatically detected and identified when the transmission coil is connected to the MRI system. A phase setting of a pulse to be transmitted by the detected transmission coil is identified based on at least the identified type of the transmission coil. The transmission coil is excited with the pulse having the identified phase and amplitude.
