The magnet circuit has a first magnet circuit connection (132) and a second magnet circuit connection (134). The magnet further comprises a first switch (120) between the first magnet connection and the first current lead and a second switch (122) between the second magnet connection and the second current lead. The magnet further comprises a first current shunt (128) connected across the first switch and a second current shunt (130) connected across the second switch. The magnet further comprises a first rigid coil loop (124) operable to actuate the first switch. The first rigid coil loop forms a portion of the first electrical connection. The magnet further comprises a second rigid coil loop (126) operable to actuate the second switch. The second rigid coil loop forms a portion of the second electrical connection.

    摘要: A magnetic field z-gradient coil is manufactured by inserting elements (38) into openings (36) on an outside of an insulating carrier (32), wrapping an electrical conductor turn (34) around the outside of the insulating carrier with one side of the wrapped electrical conductor alongside elements inserted into openings on the outside of the insulating carrier, removing the elements alongside the one side of the wrapped electrical conductor from the openings, and repeating to wrap conductor turns of a z-gradient coil (20) around the electrically insulating carrier. A transverse magnetic field gradient coil is manufactured by laying electrical conductor (44) onto a mold (50) with a keying feature (46, 46a) extending along the conductor engaging a mating keying feature (52, 52a) of the mold that defines a winding pattern (56), attaching an insulating back plate (58) to the resulting coil section opposite from the mold, and removing the mold.

    摘要: An augmented reality device used in a medical imaging laboratory housing a medical imaging device (10) includes a headset (30), cameras (32, 33) mounted in the medical imaging laboratory, and directional sensors (34, 35, 36, 37) mounted on the headset. The cameras generate a panorama image (54). Data collected by the directional sensors is processed to determine the viewing direction (60). The panorama image and the determined viewing direction are processed to generate an augmented patient view image (80) in which the medical imaging device is removed, replaced, or made partially transparent, the augmented image is presented on a display (40) of the headset. The directional sensors may include a headset camera (34) that provides a patient view image (50), which is augmented by removing or making partially transparent any portion of the medical imaging device in the patient view image by substituting corresponding portions of the panorama image.

    摘要: A medical apparatus (100, 300, 400, 800) includes a magnetic resonance imaging system (104), a radiation therapy device (102) having a gantry (106) and a radiation source (110). A radiation detection system (102) measures radiation detection data (174) descriptive of a path and intensity of a radiation beam at an intersection of the radiation beam with at least one surface (144, 144′, 144″) surrounding the subject using at least one radiation detector (144, 144′, 144″). Execution of machine readable instructions causes a processor controlling the medical apparatus to: receive (200) a treatment plan (168), acquire (202) magnetic resonance data (164) from the imaging zone using the magnetic resonance imaging system, generate (204) radiation therapy device control commands (172) using the magnetic resonance data and the treatment plan, irradiate (206) the target zone by controlling the radiation therapy device using the radiation therapy device control commands, measure (208) the radiation detection data during irradiation, and determine a time dependent radiation beam path (176) and a time dependent radiation beam intensity (178) using the radiation detection data.

    摘要: The invention provides an apparatus (1) for magnetic resonance (MR) examination of a subject (S), comprising: an examination region (3) for accommodating the subject (S) during the MR examination; a radio-frequency system (5) for transmission of a radio-frequency (RF) signal or field into the examination region (3) during the MR examination; and a temperature control system (6) for controlling the temperature of the subject (S) in the examination region (3) during the examination. The temperature control system (6) is configured to actively control or regulate an environment of the subject (S), and thereby the temperature or thermal comformt of the subject (S) based upon a detected and/or an expected temperature of the subject (S) during the MR examination. The invention also provides a method of controlling thermal comfort of the subject (S) during an examination of the subject (S) in a MR apparatus (1), comprising the steps of: estimating and/or detecting a temperature of the subject (S) during the MR examination, and actively controlling or regulating the environment of the subject (S) based upon the estimated and/or detected temperature of the subject (S) during the MR examination.
