ABSTRACT:
An implementation of an optical transmission path for NMR signals from local coils in magnetic resonance imaging employs a photomodulator that may be incorporated into a connecting optical cable to be shared among multiple local coils and to provide for connection and disconnection at an electrical interface eliminating the need for optical connectors.
