Abstract
In a method and device for checking a body coil of an MRI system a current value of one or more parameters of the MRI system is acquired under a specific condition. The current value is compared with a reference value of the parameter to obtain a comparison result. A state of the body coil is determined according to the comparison result. The method for checking a body coil of an MRI system according to a particular embodiment of the present invention can replace onsite periodic maintenance inspection by a maintenance engineer, and also detect damage to the body coil at an early stage.
