| 20120001632 | MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING APPARATUS AND MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING METHOD OF CONTROLLING IMAGE CONTRAST - A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a data acquisition unit and an image data generating unit. The data acquisition unit acquires MR signals for imaging by an imaging scan with a frequency-selective or slice-selective radio frequency intermediate pulse for controlling a contrast and a spoiler gradient magnetic field for suppressing unnecessary signal component after applying at least one of radio frequency excitation pulses. The image data generating unit generates image data based on the magnetic resonance signals. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20110148412 | MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING APPARATUS AND MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING METHOD - According to one embodiment, an MRI apparatus includes a calculation unit and an imaging unit. The calculation unit calculates “a value of a parameter having an upper limit” for “a plurality of patterns of scan orders for a plurality of scan operations for an object” respectively. The imaging unit generates image data for each of the scan operations by performing the plurality of scan operations based on a result of the calculation. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110002519 | MAMMOGRAPHY APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - A mammography apparatus has a determination unit, a setting unit, a generating unit and a display unit. The determination unit determines whether a radiographic image of a breast contains an implant part based on a pixel value distribution in a predetermined region concerning data of the radiographic image. The setting unit changes a setting of a parameter for a tone conversion process based on a determination made by the determination unit. The generating unit generates a display image based on the radiographic image by application of the parameter. The display unit displays the display image. | 01-06-2011 |
