摘要： A magnetic resonance apparatus has a cylindrical body coil composed of a number of resonator segments distributed around the circumference and a control device for separate activation of the individual resonator segments. The resonator segments are electromagnetically decoupled from one another. The activation generates a radio-frequency magnetic field inside the coil for spin excitation in an examination volume. The resonator segments are activated such that the excitation field is generated only in at least one first sub-volume forming the examination volume, and at least one second sub-volume, that is not to be excited, is essentially free of the excitation field.

In an excitation layer defined by the slice selective excitation pulse a first echo image and second echo image are spatially resolved by using suitable gradient pulses for phase or frequency encoding Using the relationships of the amplitudes of the first and second echo image in the various locations the flip angles representing the field strength at the relevant locations in the relevant slice are determined.

摘要： In a method and magnetic resonance system for homogenization of the B1 field for a magnetic resonance data acquisition with a number of iteration steps. An iteration step includes the following sub-steps: Measurement data are acquired that represent a B1 field distribution in at least one part of the examination volume of the magnetic resonance system. A B1 homogeneity analysis based on the acquired measurement data is automatically implemented. A specific homogenization action is automatically selected from among a number of possible homogenization actions based on the B1 homogeneity analysis, or the iterative homogenization method is ended if the diagnosed homogeneity is sufficient for an intended magnetic resonance measurement. The selected homogenization action is implemented.

摘要： A method for setting an operating parameter of a medical device is provided. The method includes determining a current operating mode of the medical device. A time span available for setting the operating parameter is derived from the determined current operating mode. A setting range of the operating parameter necessary for fulfilling a pre-determined criterion is determined. A setting time necessary for setting the operating parameter according to the determined setting range is determined, and the operating parameter is set according to the setting range, provided the time span available for the setting is at least as long as the necessary setting time.

摘要： A receiving device for magnetic resonance (MR) image signals of a body is operated in an MR system such that for at least one coil element of the receiving device, a space domain, in which a spatial sensitivity of the coil element satisfies a predetermined criterion, is determined. A center frequency and a bandwidth of the MR image signal radiated by the body in the space domain are determined for the space domain. A receive path disposed downstream of the coil element is parameterized for operation at the determined center frequency and with the determined bandwidth.
