Abstract

A magnetic resonance examination apparatus including a receiving assembly located in the vicinity of an examination zone for producing a signal in response to spin resonance signals for transmission to a signal processing unit. To overcome problems associated with metallic cable connections between the signal generator and the signal processing unit, and to overcome problems associated with existing non-metallic connections, the receiving assembly comprises a digitizer for generating a digital electromagnetic signal for transmission to the signal processing unit.
