Abstract

A plurality of magnetic field induction coils and a radio frequency (RF) detection coil are supported by a frame which is inserted into the bore of an MRI system to detect magnetic fields produced by gradient pulses and RF pulses produced during a scan. The detected magnetic fields are processed to produce gradient waveforms and RF pulse waveforms that are displayed to the user.
