摘要:
A plurality of diagnostic scanners (S1, S2, . . . , Sn) share access to a remote, communal processing center (CP) that performs reconstruction and post reconstruction processing for various modalities. Each of the diagnostic scanners submits a data set to the remote center electronically over the lines (T). An scheduling computer (22) assigns a priority to each of the received data sets and controls a plurality of parallel processors (261, 262, . . . , 26n) accordingly. The reconstructed image representations are sent electronically back to the address that sent them, or another designated location, for display on a monitor (281, 282, . . . , 28n, 28cf, 28r). Upgrades loaded into the remote center are immediately available for all users. Software modifications, hardware adjustments, training services, operations monitoring, and scanner operating services of individual scanners are provided from the remote center.
摘要:
A target treatment apparatus for treating a target region (130) within a subject (140) is provided. The apparatus includes an MRI apparatus (100) for generating MR images during an MR scan of the subject disposed within an examination region (110). The apparatus further includes an MRI localizer (150) for receiving the image data from the MRI apparatus wherein the target (130) is localized and a reference marker localizer (160, 160') for non-invasively receiving reference data from a plurality of reference points disposed in proximity to the target wherein the reference points are localized. A tracking processor (300) is also included in the apparatus for receiving localized data from the MRI localizer wherein a relationship between the reference markers and the target region is generated.
