A receive apparatus in a strong magnetic alternating field is disposed in a magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) system. The MRT system includes at least one receive apparatus for a magnetic resonance high frequency (MR-HF) signal. The receive apparatus includes a receive coil element for receiving the MR-HF signal, an optical modulator, in which an electrical control input is coupled to the receive coil element, and an optical output for outputting an output signal of the modulator. The optical modulator forms an optical demodulation device for the MR-HF signal. The optical modulator is coupled to a laser light source via an optical input that is configured to generate a laser light. A light intensity of the laser light varies periodically with a predetermined frequency.

An arrangement and a method are disclosed for projective and/or tomographic phase-contrast imaging using X-ray radiation. In at least one embodiment, one or more phase grids is/are arranged in the beam path such that during a rotation of the at least one X-ray source, the examination object is scanned with different spatial orientations of the grid lines relative to the examination object such that the complete refraction angle, and hence the complete phase shift gradient, can be determined for each X-ray beam from the two scans with differently oriented phase grids in order to be able to show the phase shift of an examination object in terms of projections or in a tomographic image.

A method is disclosed for marking and visualizing an implant by use of an x-ray phase-contrast tomography examination. Further, an implant is also disclosed. In at least one embodiment, implants are used with specific characteristics which are as unambiguous as possible with regard to the phase shift generated by the implants in a phase-contrast tomography examination. In at least one embodiment, these specific characteristics can include the typical self-generated specific phase shift, typical differences in the specific phase-shift values, or typical spatial structures of materials with well-defined phase-shift values.

An x-ray computed tomography apparatus has one anode ring in a vacuum housing surrounding an examination volume, wherein a focus of an x-ray source revolves on the anode ring to expose the examination volume with an x-ray beam from different directions, and a detector system arranged on a rotating frame that can rotate around a system axis. The detector system serves to detect the x-ray radiation exiting from the examination volume, wherein the detector system and the focus can rotate around the system axis synchronously and in the same rotation direction with a rotation angle offset by 180°. The apparatus also includes a computer to process the measurement values acquired by the detector system. The anode ring can be driven such that it rotates around the system axis, and the rotation direction of the anode ring and the rotation direction of the focus around the system axis are opposite while a rotation of the focus around the system axis ensues.

An x-ray CT system for x-ray phase contrast and/or x-ray dark field imaging has a grating interferometer that has a first grating structure that has a number of band-shaped x-ray emission maxima and minima arranged in parallel, the maxima and minima exhibiting a first grating period, a second band-shaped grating structure that produces, as a phase grating, a partial phase offset of x-ray radiation passing therethrough and that exhibits a second grating period, a third band-shaped grating structure with a third grating period with which relative phase shifts of adjacent x-rays and/or their scatter components are detected, and a device for value-based determination of the phase between adjacent x-rays and/or for value-based determination of the spatial intensity curve per detector element perpendicular to the bands of the grating structures. The third grating structure has a grating period that is larger by a factor of 2 to 5 than the grating period of the first grating structure.

A method is disclosed for correction of truncations of an image of an object under examination in the reconstruction of image data from raw data which has been recorded with a magnetic resonance system from a field of view of the magnetic resonance system, with an object under examination which is located in the field of view of the magnetic resonance system being imaged in the raw data, and with the image recorded by the raw data of the object under examination being truncated at the edge of the field of view if at least one part of the object under examination is located outside the field of view. In at least one embodiment, the method includes determining a number of one-dimensional projections of the imaged field of view in the Radon space from the recorded raw data in order to obtain a projection profile of the image object under examination over the field of view in each case; checking each projection profile for whether the projection profile exhibits a truncation which is caused by the at least one part of the object under examination being located outside the field of view; if the respective checked projection profile exhibits a truncation, expanding the projection profile for correcting the truncation in that the projection profile is extrapolated in accordance with a predetermined extrapolation model in the area in which it exhibits the truncation; and reconstructing image data based on the expanded projection profiles in which the truncation of the image of the object under examination is corrected.

摘要:
In a method and a device for transfer of a number of digital data streams accumulating in parallel between units moving relative to one another, the digital data to be transferred are modulated at least partially to avoid excessively high interference radiation. The data are transferred serially between the units (16, 18) and the data are demodulated after the transfer. The data accumulating in parallel and to be transferred are divided up into a number of data sets; the potential or actual tendency for generation of EMI radiation is examined for each data set. A modulation pattern is selected for each data packet dependent on the degree of the tendency to generate EMI radiation, with modulation pattern the EMI radiation arising in the data transfer in connection with the respective data set is largely reduced. Each data set is modulated according to the selected modulation pattern before the transfer.
