    摘要: A method and system for determining a magnetic field map in a MR system based on position of a movable patient support of the MR system are provided, wherein a first resulting field map including position dependent information about a magnetic field distribution in an homogeneity volume including an examination volume of the MR system is provided when the movable patient support is located at a first position, wherein a stationary field map including information about a magnetic field distribution in the homogeneity volume is provided, which is independent of the position of the movable patient support, wherein a position dependent field map including information about a magnetic field distribution in the homogeneity volume mainly influenced by a position of the movable patient support is determined using the stationary field map and the first resulting field map, and wherein a second resulting field map in the homogeneity volume is determined when the movable patient support is located at a second position different from the first position, using the stationary field map and the position dependent field map.

    摘要: According to an aspect of disclosed embodiments, a computed tomography (CT) image processing apparatus includes: an image processor configured to set two or more CT number ranges of interest defined by a window level and a window width for CT numbers of CT image data, and map the CT numbers to display grayscale values of a display; and the display configured to display the CT image data according to a mapping result, wherein a gradient of a graph showing a relationship between the CT numbers and the display grayscale values in a CT number range included in the two or more CT number ranges of interest is greater than a gradient in a CT number range not included in the two or more CT number ranges of interest, wherein the graph showing the relationship between the CT numbers and the display grayscale values has a zero or positive gradient over an entire section, or has a zero or negative gradient over the entire section.

    摘要: An embodiment of a system is proposed for imaging a body part including a tissue, the body part being perfused with a contrast agent. The system includes means for providing a sequence of original images offering a digital representation over time of the body-part, each original image including a plurality of original values each one indicative of a response to an interrogation signal of a corresponding location of the body-part possibly including the contrast agent with a contribution of the tissue substantially reduced. The system further includes means for generating an overlaid image for each one of a set of selected original images, for each one of a set of selected locations the overlaid image including an overlaid value consisting of a) a linearized value derived from the corresponding original value to be substantially proportional to a concentration of the contrast agent in the selected location when the linearized value reaches a predefined threshold, or otherwise b) a compressed value depending non-linearly on the corresponding response to the interrogation signal; and means for displaying the overlaid images in succession.

    摘要: An embodiment of a segmentation solution for use in diagnostic imaging applications is proposed. A corresponding embodiment of a data-processing segmentation method comprises: providing a representation over a non-zero analysis time period of a body-part being perfused with a contrast agent, the representation comprising, for each location of a set of locations of the body-part, an indication of a response over the analysis time period of the location to an interrogation signal; calculating, for each selected location of a set of selected locations, the value of at least one statistical parameter of a statistical distribution of the response over the analysis time period of the selected location, the set of selected locations comprising all the locations or a part thereof; and segmenting the selected locations according to a comparison between the values of said at least one statistical parameter for the selected locations with at least one segmentation threshold.
