ABSTRACT:
In a method and apparatus for the production of a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tomography image with radio frequency (RF) signals from an extended measuring object (11) being detected by n surface coils (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) of an NMR apparatus, whereby n>1, and the n RF signals are separately preamplified by n preamplifiers (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) each assigned to one of the n surface coils (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d), and subsequently further amplified and detected in a phase sensitive fashion, as a result of which a low frequency signal is obtained in each case which is introduced to one of n low pass filters (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) of an analog/digital converter (ADC) and whereby n partial images are produced in a computer (8) from the n signals obtained in this fashion and assembled into a single NMR tomography image of the measuring object (11) in a region of interest, the signals emanating from the n low pass filters (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) are introduced to a single ADC (7) via a first multiplexing circuit (6) to be digitized and passed on to the computer (8). In this fashion is it possible for n-1 high speed ADC'S as well as a complicated interface for the input of the signals from the different measuring chains into the computer to be dispensed with and the utility of an already existing NMR apparatus can be significantly increased.
