Compatible magnetic receiver

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus (117) for a magnetic resonance imaging system (101), in particular magnetic resonance imaging system receiver further signal processing means (117), characterized in that it (117) is adapted to, in response to or from a local coil (106a; 106b) obtained information (Tom, TMM) via the local coil type of the local coil (106a; 106b) in the magnetic resonance imaging system (101, 117) the the further processing (ADC, FGPA) through the local coil (106a; 106b) of the magnetic resonance imaging system (101, 117) transmitted signals (RF-a, RF-b) to be determined.
