A treatment planning system is configured for determining a set of catheter or needle insertion positions to be used during treatment. The treatment planning system includes an image providing module for providing a medical image from which at least one treatment target structure can be derived. Further the treatment planning system includes a pattern providing module for providing one or a set of standard patterns for catheter or needle insertion including a plurality of catheter or needle insertion positions. The catheter or needle positions relate to treatment positions in the at least one treatment target structure.

Abstract: A method of correcting a magnetic field of a medical apparatus (300) comprising a magnetic resonance imaging system (302). The MRI system includes a magnet (306) for generating the magnetic field within an imaging zone 318. The magnet generates a magnetic field with a zero crossing (346, 404) outside of the imaging zone. The medical apparatus further comprises a gantry (332) configured for rotating a ferromagnetic component (336, 510) about a rotational axis (333). The method comprises the step of installing (100, 200) a magnetic correcting element (348, 900, 1000) located on a radial path (344, 504) perpendicular to the rotational axis. The magnetic correcting element is positioned on the radial path such that change in the magnetic field within the imaging zone due to the ferromagnetic component is reduced. The method further comprises repeatedly: measuring (102, 202, 1204) the magnetic field within the imaging zone; determining (104, 204, 1206) the change in the magnetic field in the imaging zone; and adjusting (106, 206, 1208) the position of the magnetic correcting element along the radial path if the change in the magnetic field is above a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a medical system (100, 300) comprising a memory (110) storing machine executable instructions (120) and an MRF scoring module (122). The MRF scoring module is configured for outputting an MRF quality score (126) in response to receiving MRF data (124) as input. The medical system further comprises a computational system (106) configured for controlling the medical system, wherein execution of the machine executable instructions causes the computational system to: receive (200) the MRF data; receive (202) the MRF quality score in response to inputting the MRF data into an MRF scoring module; append (206) the MRF quality score to the MRF data if the MRF quality score is within a predetermined range (128); and provide (208) a signal (132) if the MRF quality score is outside of the predetermined range.

Abstract: A magnetic field z-gradient coil is manufactured by inserting elements (38) into openings (36) on an outside of an insulating carrier (32), wrapping an electrical conductor turn (34) around the outside of the insulating carrier with one side of the wrapped electrical conductor alongside elements inserted into openings on the outside of the insulating carrier, removing the elements alongside the one side of the wrapped electrical conductor from the openings, and repeating to wrap conductor turns of a z-gradient coil (20) around the electrically insulating carrier. A transverse magnetic field gradient coil is manufactured by laying electrical conductor (44) onto a mold (50) with a keying feature (46, 46a) extending along the conductor engaging a mating keying feature (52, 52a) of the mold that defines a winding pattern (56), attaching an insulating back plate (58) to the resulting coil section opposite from the mold, and removing the mold.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a container builder (110) for building a container image for providing an individualized network service based on sensitive data (122) in a database (121). The container builder (110) retrieves the sensitive data (122) from the database (121), builds the container image (140), and provides it for deployment to a cloud service provider (111). The container image (140) comprises the sensitive data (122) and instructions that, when deployed as a container, cause the container to provide the individualized network service based on the sensitive data (122) comprised in the container image (140).

Abstract: A processor controls an MRI system with pulse sequence commands to acquire magnetic resonance data according to a magnetic resonance fingerprinting protocol during multiple pulse repetitions. The pulse sequence commands control the magnetic resonance imaging system to cause gradient induced spin rephasing at least twice during each of the multiple pulse repetitions, and to acquire at least two magnetic resonance signals during each of the multiple pulse repetitions. Each of the at least two magnetic resonance signals is measured during a separate one of the gradient induced spin rephasing. The magnetic resonance data includes the at least two magnetic resonance signals acquired during each of the multiple pulse repetitions. The processor further at least partially calculates a B0-off-resonance map using the magnetic resonance data, and generates at least one magnetic resonance parametric map by comparing the magnetic resonance data with a magnetic resonance fingerprinting dictionary.

Abstract: The invention provides for a magnetic resonance imaging system (100) for acquiring magnetic resonance data (142) from a subject (118) within an imaging zone (108). The magnetic resonance imaging system comprises a memory (134, 136) for storing machine executable instructions (160), and pulse sequence commands (140, 400, 502, 600, 700), wherein the pulse sequence commands are configured to cause the magnetic imaging resonance system to acquire the magnetic resonance data according to a magnetic resonance fingerprinting technique. The pulse sequence commands are further configured to control the magnetic resonance imaging system to perform spatial encoding using a zero echo time magnetic resonance imaging protocol. Execution of the machine executable instructions causes the processor controlling the MRI system to: acquire (200) the magnetic resonance data by controlling the magnetic resonance imaging system with the pulse sequence commands; and calculate (202) a spatial distribution (146) of each of a set of predetermined substances by comparing the magnetic resonance data with a magnetic resonance fingerprinting dictionary (144).
