摘要:
The invention relates to a method for determining local characteristics of a target object comprising the following steps: - transmitting a signal into said object; - receiving reflection and/or transmission and/or scattering and/or diffraction and/or matter excitation signal or signals generated by the object in response to said signal; - extracting the phase or a parameter correlated to the phase of such response signal or signals; - applying one or more mathematical operators to such phase or parameter to determine one or more local parameters; - identifying area or areas of the object having common propagation properties from one or more of such local parameters; - determining direct or indirect local quantitative information on the physical properties of the target from at least one of said local parameters or a combination thereof as a function of the type of propagation identified in such area or areas. Also a corresponding device is disclosed.
摘要:
Method for displaying MRI images comprising following steps: displaying a plurality of different images one after the other obtained by nuclear magnetic resonance image acquisition, each of which images is different with respect to at least a part of the other images due to the fact that the plane of the displayed image corresponds to a different section plane through a body or part therof under examination having a predetermined different position and/or a predetermined different orientation with respect to said body under examination and to a reference system; and the passage from displaying an image to display a further image is achieved by control means which define the position and/or orientation of different section planes of different images.
摘要:
Magnetic structure for MRI machines, which machine has a U-shaped or O-shaped geometry having two opposite poles for generating a magnetic field there between, the poles being arranged at a predetermined distance one with respect to the other by a magnetic yoke (4) having an inverted U shape or an O shape, which poles and at least a part of which yoke delimit a cavity for housing at least a part of a patient body. The invention relates also to a machine for detecting MRI images particularly of the anatomical region of the hand or the foot or part of joints and which machine has a magnetic structure of the type described above.
摘要:
Apparatus for determining indications helping the diagnosis of orthopedic diseases comprising a section detecting and acquiring signals from a body under examination or from a part thereof wherein the detecting section is a unit detecting images by nuclear magnetic resonance and it is integrated in a section for processing acquired images as regards image data and/or resonance signals, which processing section defines, from image data and/or resonance signals, values of one or more different numerical parameters indicating the presence or absence of an orthopedic disease and/or a measure of the evolution condition of said orthopedic disease. The invention comprises also a method for determining indications helping the diagnosis of orthopedic diseases.
