摘要:
A method and a magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) system are provided. The MRT system includes a controller configured to store a transmit vector that is established on a local-coil-specific basis. The transmit vector, for a specific local coil, indicates with which amplitudes and phases, transmit elements of the local coil may be controlled by a transmit device. The controller is configured to initiate a patient-specific calibration measurement on a patient to generate patient-specific calibration data representing a field distribution. The controller is also configured to determine deviations in the patient-specific calibration data from the stored transmit vector established on a local-coil-specific basis. The patient-specific calibration data is generated in the patient-specific calibration measurement on the patient and represents a field distribution. An imaging MRT measurement is not allowed if deviations exceed a threshold value, but is otherwise performed and is monitored by a monitoring device.

A gradient pulse generator generates reference current signals for a plurality of gradient coils of a gradient coil system of a magnetic resonance system and supplies each of the reference current signals to a controller assigned to one of the gradient coils. Also supplied to the respective controller is an actual current signal that is characteristic of the current flowing in the respective gradient coil. Each of the controllers generates a control signal and accordingly drives a gradient power amplifier assigned to the respective gradient coil. The gradient power amplifiers apply a current to the gradient coils assigned to the gradient power amplifiers in accordance with the generated control signals. Each of the controllers is also supplied with the reference current signal or the actual current signal of at least one other gradient coil or the time derivative of the reference current signal or the actual current signal.

In a method and device to determine distortion correction data for distortion correction of magnetic resonance images acquired with a magnetic resonance system, a starting spherical function is calculated represents the magnetic field of a gradient coil of the magnetic resonance system on the basis of the conductor geometry of the gradient coil. A three-dimensional parameter map is determined that represents a magnetic field generated by the gradient coil using a defined measurement subject, with a defined gradient strength being set for the appertaining gradient coil. A deviation parameter map is generated on the basis of the parameter map and on the basis of a reference parameter map which was determined with deactivated gradient coil. Spherical function coefficients of the gradient magnetic field are determined by fitting a spherical function representing the magnetic field of the gradient coil to the deviation parameter map using the starting spherical function. The distortion correction data are determined on the basis of the spherical function coefficients of the fitted spherical function.

A magnetic resonance apparatus has an examination region to accommodate a patient to be examined, and a body coil that circumferentially encompasses the examination region and is designed for magnetic resonance examination of the patient. A gradient coil circumferentially encompasses the examination region and the body coil and is designed to detect the position of magnetic resonance measurement values. A basic field magnet is designed to form a basic magnetic field in the examination region for a patient examination to be conducted. The basic field magnet at least partially encompasses the examination region, the body coil and the gradient coil. A shim device is used that is designed to influence the basic magnetic field. Components of the shim device and components of the body coil are associated to exhibit a common distance relative to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the examination region and thus encompass the examination region.

A magnetic resonance apparatus has an RF antenna unit, a gradient coil unit and an RF shield, the conductor structures of which are independent of one another. The RF shield is arranged between the RF antenna unit and the gradient coil unit, a first RF field return volume is arranged between RF the antenna unit (1, 29, 55A, and the gradient coil unit, the RF field return volume closes RF magnetic field lines of the RF antenna unit and is bordered by the RF shield on the side of the gradient coil unit. The conductor structure of the gradient coil unit occupies a first region. A second conductor-free region is within the first region, on the side facing the RF antenna unit, between a primary gradient coil unit and a secondary shim gradient coil unit of the gradient coil unit. The second conductor-free region is at least partially surrounded by the conductor structure of the gradient coil unit and is fashioned as a second RF field return volume in connection with the first RF field return volume. The RF shield proceeds between the RF field return volumes and the conductor structure of the gradient coil unit. The RF antenna unit is closer to the data acquisition region of the magnetic resonance apparatus than the gradient coil unit.
