Detection of transmitting / receiving coils of a magnetic resonance imaging scanner with the help of electronically readable labels

The invention relates to a method and device for the identification (2d) of a local coils property (22, 23, 24, 25) of a local coil (106) for a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus (101), comprising: - at least one label (2a), which is adapted to wirelessly (S) to send at least an identity number (21), - at least one a reading device antenna (2b) exhibiting reader (2c, 2d, 110) which is adapted to receive the identification number (21), - an identification device (2d, 110), which is designed to identify a property local coils (22, 23, 24, 25) of the local coil (106) due to the at least one received identity number (21).
