摘要:
A whole-body coil for a magnetic resonance tomography device includes one or more compensation capacitors between a high-frequency antenna and an RF shield. The one or more compensation capacitors each have variable capacitance caused by a variation in a distance of the RF shield to the high-frequency antenna.

In a method, by a magnetic resonance device, a transmit B1 field map is determined for a region, a plurality of MR images of at least one part of the region are acquired using transmitter settings differing from each other, and signal intensities of individual pixels measured by the MR images are interpolated by the transmit B1 field map. A correction of the signal intensities may also be effected by carrying out a receive B1 correction by a spatial mirroring of the transmit B1 field map on a symmetry plane of a measured object. A magnetic resonance device is used to carry out the method. The method may be applied, for example, in medical diagnostics.

A method for monitoring a temporal change in a magnetic field in a magnetic resonance device, as well as an evaluation unit, a magnetic resonance device, and a computer program product for performing the method are provided. The method provides that a position-dependent magnetic field distribution that is produced by the plurality of gradient coils is provided with a plurality of monitoring points. In addition, time-dependent gradient values of the plurality of gradient coils are ascertained. Based on position-dependent magnetic field distribution and the time-dependent gradient values, the temporal change in the magnetic field is ascertained. The temporal change in the magnetic field is monitored by comparing the temporal change in the magnetic field with at least one limit value.

A method for operating a magnetic resonance apparatus by a safety unit, taking into account persons fitted with an implant, a safety unit, a safety system, a magnetic resonance apparatus, and a computer program product are provided. The magnetic resonance apparatus includes a first part and a second part. The first part is operated separately from the second part and includes the safety unit. During an examination of a person fitted with an implant, the safety unit checks that the magnetic resonance apparatus, in a restricted operating mode, is complying with implant-conformant limit values.

摘要:
An examination subject arranged in an examination volume of a magnetic resonance system can be excited to magnetic resonance by an RF transmission antenna. The RF transmission antenna is fashioned as a resonant structure that surrounds a central axis of the magnetic resonance system running within the examination volume. The resonance structure has inner edges proceeding around the central axis on its inner side facing the central axis, which inner edges form a capacitively-bridged annular gap extending parallel to the central axis. The RF transmission antenna is embedded into the gradient coil, such that the gradient coil at least radially outwardly and axially surrounds the RF transmission antenna), and the inner edges of the RF transmission antenna are connected in an electrically-conductive manner with inner sides of the gradient coil to the central axis. They are arranged radially inwardly (viewed from the annular gap) and axially completely cover the annular gap as well as axially at least partially cover the inner sides of the gradient coil.

A generator of time-variable magnetic fields of a magnetic resonance device having an examination space for registering at least one area to be examined of an item being examined has the following features: the conductors of a gradient coil arrangement of the generator define an area at least partially surrounding the examination space, said area contains at least a partial area which is free from conductors of the gradient coil arrangement and which contains conductors of a radio frequency antenna of the generator, and a field flowback space, inter alia for fields of the radio frequency antenna, extends proceeding from the partial area away from the examination space and is delimited beyond said partial area by a radio frequency shield.
