摘要:
A method is disclosed for acquiring magnetic resonance (MR) data for a plurality of layers of an object to be examined in a section of a magnetic resonance system having a basic magnetic field, wherein the section is located at the edge of a Field of View of the magnetic resonance system in the first direction. The method includes producing a first gradient field having a non-linearity of its location dependence in such a way that in the section the non-linearity compensates a local inhomogeneity of the basic magnetic field, and then multiple positioning of the object to be examined in a first direction, so the plurality of layers of the object to be examined perpendicular to the first direction successively includes the section. Finally, it includes the acquisition of magnetic resonance data for each of the layers with recording sequences.

摘要:
A method is disclosed for correcting a distortion in a magnetic resonance recording. A distortion indicates a mismatch between a distorted position of an image point in the magnetic resonance recording and an actual position of the image point. According to at least one embodiment of the method, a B0 field deviation and a gradient field deviation are determined for at least one actual position in the magnetic resonance facility. Furthermore, a magnetic resonance recording of an examination object is captured and the actual position of an image point of the magnetic resonance recording is determined as a function of the distorted position of the image point in the magnetic resonance recording, the B0 field deviation at the actual position and the gradient field deviation at the actual position.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for recording measured data from a patient by taking movements into account by use of a medical device designed both for recording motion-related measured data and for recording nuclear medicine measured data. The method may include recording nuclear medicine measured data by use of the medical device, simultaneously recording motion-related measured data by use of the medical device, determining at least one motion information item relating to at least one movement of the patient and/or at least one movement inside the body of the patient during the ongoing measured data recording by evaluating at least a portion of the previously recorded motion-related measured data, and carrying out motion correction for at least a portion of the nuclear medicine measured data by use of the computational device in parallel with recording the measured data.

A hybrid magnetic resonance (MR) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging system reduces likelihood of artifact distortion in PET images attributable to MR local coil cables and connectors in the patient table. MR local coil cables coupling the MR scanner and the MR local coil connectors are oriented so that they are outside the scanner field of view when performing PET scans.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for recording and evaluating PET data recorded at the same time as magnetic resonance data using a combined magnetic resonance/PET apparatus, wherein in the context of a pulse sequence for recording the magnetic resonance data a magnetic resonance recording facility, including at least one gradient coil and at least one high-frequency coil, is activated. In at least one embodiment, the method includes recording the PET data and assigning the recorded PET data after the recording time point to at least two data groups assigned to a predetermined operating state of the magnetic resonance recording facility; for each data group, determining a measure of similarity of the PET data contained therein to the PET data as a whole and/or to PET data of at least one further data group, whereby if the measure of similarity is below a threshold value, the PET data of the data group is rejected and/or further evaluated separately.
