Abstract

An inherently decoupled MR reception coil arrangement for a magnetic resonance imaging tomography system has a number of selectively pluggable local coils, in which the local coils provided with active detuning also have a passive detuning circuit for the transmission phase, and at least one of the local coils has a passive detuning circuit for the reception phase in the unplugged state.
