| 20100231217 | MAGNETIC RESONANCE METHOD AND APPARATUS TO ACQUIRE MULTIPLE IMAGE DATA SETS FROM A SUBJECT - In a magnetic resonance (MR) method and apparatus for the acquisition of a first image data set and a second image data set of an examination subject, a series of excitation pulses is radiated into the examination subject, and after each excitation pulse, a first echo signal is detected after a first echo time TE | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100253339 | MAGNETIC RESONANCE APPARATUS AND METHOD TO DETECT INCORRECT MAGNETIC RESONANCE DATA - In a method and apparatus to detect incorrect MR data in k-space representing MR signals acquired from an examination subject with at least two acquisition coils, MR data are acquired to generate at least one raw data set with each of the at least two acquisition coils and a check is made, for at least one k-space point, as to whether the MR data acquired for this k-space point should be replaced or not. In the event that the check yields that the MR data acquired for the at least one k-space point should be replaced, the MR data are replaced with reconstructed MR data that are based on at least two of the acquired raw data sets. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100317960 | THERMOTHERAPY DEVICE AND METHOD TO IMPLEMENT THERMOTHERAPY - A thermotherapy device has a transmitter, a receiver and a processing unit. The transmitter is designed to emit a high-energy radiation in a treatment region of a patient. The high-energy radiation exhibits a power that is suitable for thermotherapy. The receiver is designed to detect a sound signal that is generated by the treatment region depending on the high-energy radiation radiated into said treatment region. The processing unit is coupled with the transmitter) and the receiver. The processing unit automatically determines information about the treatment region depending on the detected sound signal. | 12-16-2010 |
