| 20080253639 | System and Method for Acquiring Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Mri) Data - A method for acquiring image data from a patient with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. The proposed method comprises the steps of: a) predefining a number of scan geometries for acquiring the image data from at least one region of interest (ROI) relative to the patient, b) performing at least one scan for acquiring the image data in accordance with at least one of the predefined scan geometries, c) analysing in the image data a position of the region of interest to detect a deviation from the at least one predefined scan geometry, d) changing the at least one predefined scan geometry if said deviation exceeds a predetermined threshold value, and e) repeating steps b) to d) until a predetermined number of scans has been performed. Thus, by means of the proposed method the utility of such predefined scan geometries is greatly enhanced. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080262340 | Moving Table Mri - The invention relates to a MRI system and to a method for producing an image with such an system. In order to provide a MR imaging technique with a high efficient MR signal acquisition, which provides a high level of comfort to a patient, a MRI system and method are suggested, where image data from an object are acquired while the object is moving with variable speed relative to the MRI system, and where the image data are combined and an image of the object is reconstructed. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20090289631 | MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING WITH MULTIPLE CONTRAST - A magnetic resonance imaging system comprises an RF-excitation module to generate one of several RF-excitations and a gradient module to generate one of several magnetic gradient pulses, a control unit controls the RF-excitation module and the gradient module and performs an acquisition sequence containing a succession of RF-excitations and gradient pulses. The acquisition sequence comprising several acquisition segments in which magnetic resonance signals are generated, in respective segments different contrast types occur. Individual acquisition segments have one or several repetitive acquisition units, magnetic resonance signals in an individual acquisition unit pertaining to the same contrast type. This approach of acquisition of different contrast type per group of acquisition segments allows optimisation of the acquisition of each of the contrast type independently of the contrast type of other groups of acquisition segments. | 11-26-2009 |
