20090009172 | MAGNETIC RESONANCE APPARATUS PATIENT SUPPORT - An arrangement for supporting a patient in a magnetic resonance apparatus includes a platform that accommodates the patient for a magnetic resonance examination to be conducted, local coils for the magnetic resonance examination and fastening belts, with the fastening belts being fashioned to affix the local coils on the patient and the local coils are at least partially integrated into the respective fastening belts. | 01-08-2009 |
20090027053 | MAGNETIC RESONANCE EXAMINATION PLATFORM WITH INDEPENDENTLY MOVEABLE BED AND ANTENNA DEVICE - An examination platform for a magnetic resonance apparatus has a patient bed for supporting a patient, a local antenna device for acquisition of magnetic resonance signals, and a drive device arranged at the patient bed. The drive device is coupled with the local antenna device. The local antenna device thus can be moved parallel to the longitudinal axis of the patient bed independently of a movement of the patient bed. A magnetic resonance apparatus and a method for acquisition of image data of a patient employ such an examination platform. | 01-29-2009 |
20090091326 | MAGNETIC RESONANCE RF TRANSMISSION ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD WITH COMMONLY FED LABELING AND EXCITATION ANTENNAS - A radio-frequency transmission device for a magnetic resonance system to generate magnetic resonance exposures of an examination region of an examination subject, has: a first radio-frequency transmission antenna that emits radio-frequency signals in the examination region, a radio-frequency amplifier that supplies the first radio-frequency transmission antenna, with radio-frequency signals with a predetermined radio-frequency transmission power, and a second radio-frequency transmission antenna fashioned to label a medium flowing in the examination region and/or examination regions via emission of labeling radio-frequency signals, such that the medium can be identified in the generated magnetic resonance exposures of the examination region. The second radio-frequency transmission antenna is coupled with the radio-frequency amplifier to supply the first radio-frequency transmission antenna, such that it likewise supplies the second radio-frequency transmission antenna with radio-frequency signals with a predetermined radio-frequency transmission power for the emission of radio-frequency labeling signals. | 04-09-2009 |
20120126814 | PEDIATRIC COIL ASSEMBLY - In order to increase the signal to noise ratio, and thus increase the quality of images produced during pediatric MRI, a pediatric RF coil assembly includes a head coil and a flexible body coil in a single dedicated device shaped and sized for a child. The flexible body coil may be operable to at least partially surround and abut the body of the child located on the pediatric RF coil assembly, while the head coil may at least partially surround and abut the head of the child located on the pediatric RF coil assembly. In order to optimize workflow, the child may be positioned on the pediatric RF coil assembly in a first room and moved to a second room including an MRI system after the child is brought to sleep or sedated in the first room. The pediatric RF coil assembly and the child may be moved to the second room using a handle rotatably attached to the pediatric RF coil assembly, and may be positioned on a patient table of the MRI system when the imaging process is to begin. | 05-24-2012 |
20130023756 | ADAPTER FOR A DIRECT-CONNECTION HEAD COIL WITH ADJUSTABLE TILT ANGLE - An adapter for a local coil for a magnetic resonance tomography device is provided. The adapter is placeable on a patient support for the magnetic resonance tomography device. The adapter includes an adapter upper part that is removably connectable to the local coil. The adapter also includes an adapter lower part that is removably connectable to the patient support. The adapter also includes a tilt device, by which the adapter upper part is movable relative to the adapter lower part. | 01-24-2013 |
20130190607 | LOCAL COIL AND MANUFACTURE OF MECHANICALLY PREFORMED, FLEXIBLE LOCAL COILS FOR MRI - A method for manufacturing a local coil for a magnetic resonance tomography device includes manufacturing the local coil with a flat cross-section. The method also includes deforming the local coil from the flat cross-section into a curved cross-section. | 07-25-2013 |
