The coaxial cables connecting coils to the MRI are subject to many unwanted interactions with RF pulses and with patients’ tissues. Currents flowing on the shielding of the cable can lead to local SAR increase and RF-induced burns. Despite their limitations and the amount of effort to discard them, there is still no satisfying alternative. One of the issue for competing technologies is to safely provide on coil power supply without cables inside the MRI. In this work, we propose to evaluate the feasibility of passive optical conversion and transmission of the signal to the MRI console.
