摘要: A magnetic resonance tomography unit and a method for operating the magnetic resonance tomography unit are provided. The magnetic resonance tomography unit has a transmission interference suppression device with a transmission interference suppression control system, a sensor, and a transmission interference suppression antenna. The transmission interference suppression device is configured to acquire, with the sensor, an excitation signal of the transmitter, and determine, with the transmission interference suppression control system, a transmission interference suppression signal dependent upon the acquired excitation signal of the transmitter. The transmission interference suppression device is configured to transmit, via the transmission interference suppression antenna, the transmission interference suppression signal, so that at a predetermined location outside the magnetic resonance tomography unit, the excitation signal emitted by the transmitter via the transmitter antenna is attenuated.

摘要: A magnetic resonance tomography system has an interference suppression transmitter and an interference suppression antenna. The interference suppression transmitter is configured to output an interference suppression signal via the interference suppression antenna as a function of a transmission interference suppression parameter determined from a patient property. In a predetermined region of an environment of the magnetic resonance tomography system, a field strength of the excitation pulse is reduced by destructive interference.

摘要: A device and a method for detecting a spike during a magnetic resonance scan are provided. The device has a first receiver with a first signal connection for connecting a local coil and a second receiver with a second signal connection for connecting a reference antenna. The device is configured to compare a first signal received by the first receiver via the first signal connection with a second signal received by the second receiver via the second signal connection and, in the event of a predetermined deviation, to emit a warning signal.

摘要: An apparatus and a method for detecting an antenna coil with a non-active detuning apparatus are provided. The apparatus has a transmitter, an antenna, an amplitude meter, and a controller. The controller actuates the transmitter such that the transmitter emits radio-frequency signals with different predetermined amplitudes via the antenna. The controller acquires testing amplitudes with the amplitude meter as a function of the emitted signal and determines a testing relationship between the predetermined amplitudes and the acquired testing amplitudes. If the determined testing relationship deviates from a predetermined reference relationship, a signal is output.

摘要: A magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) unit includes a field magnet, a transmitter, and a transmitting antenna. The MRT unit also has a transmission interference suppression facility with a transmission interference suppression controller, a plurality of sensors, and a transmission interference suppression antenna. The transmission interference suppression facility is configured to pick up, with the sensors, an excitation signal of the transmitter, determine, with the transmission interference suppression controller, a transmission interference suppression signal as a function of the excitation signal of the transmitter, and emit the signal via the transmission interference suppression antenna, so that at a predetermined location outside of the MRT unit, an electromagnetic alternating field of an excitation signal emitted by the transmitter via the transmitting antenna is attenuated. The sensors are arranged in a near field of the transmitting antenna, and the predetermined location of the attenuation is in a far field of the transmitting antenna.

摘要: A method of operating a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus includes exciting a body coil of the MRI apparatus to emit a radio-frequency signal, determining a center frequency of a resonance curve of the body coil, and calculating a magnet target frequency based on the determined center frequency. A magnet is ramped to the magnet target frequency.

摘要: The disclosure relates to a compensation capacitor for an antenna of a magnetic resonance scanner and a corresponding antenna with a compensation capacitor. The compensation capacitor has a first electrode and a second electrode arranged in parallel. An insulation material configured to resist high voltages and a dielectric with low dielectric losses are arranged between the first and the second electrode. The second electrode and/or the dielectric may be moved relative to the first electrode such that a surface area of a projection of the surface of the first electrode along the surface normal of the first electrode to the surface of the second electrode and/or the dielectric is variable.

摘要: A transmitting antenna for a magnetic resonance device includes a plurality of antenna conductors arranged spaced from one another circumferentially around a center line and extending parallel to the center line, and a screening element extending parallel to the center line and circumferentially encompassing the antenna conductors. For at least one pair of the antenna conductors, a radial distance between a first antenna conductor of the pair and the screening element is smaller than a radial distance between a second antenna conductor of the pair and the screening element, a width of the first antenna conductor is smaller in the circumferential direction than a width of the second antenna conductor in the circumferential direction, axial ends of the first antenna conductor are coupled together via a higher capacitance capacitor than axial ends of the second antenna conductor.
