摘要:
A medical image diagnostic apparatus has an imaging unit that images volume data of a region-of-interest of an object, an extracting unit that extracts a characteristic point from the volume data; and, a generating unit that generates an observation sectional image from the volume data using the characteristic point and correlation parameters.

An ECU-prep scan is used to set an optimum time phase in both systole and diastole of the heart. At each of the different time phases, an imaging scan is started to acquire a plurality of sets of echo data. An artery/vein visually separated blood flow image is produced from the echo data. The imaging scan uses a half-Fourier technique, for example. This provides high-quality blood flow images with shorter scan time, without injecting a contrast medium. Additionally, with a readout gradient pulse applied substantially parallel with a direction of slowly flowing blood, a scan is performed in synchronism with an optimally determined cardiac time phase. The readout gradient pulse has a dephasing pulse for enhancing differences in a flow void effect depending on blood flow velocities. This enables slow-speed flows, such as blood flows in the inferior limb, to be depicted without fail.

A apparatus includes an acquisition unit to acquire magnetic resonance data in every data group, a unit to control the acquisition unit to collect the data for one or a plurality of data groups during a collection period which is set based on a starting time phase of a cardiac cycle of the subject, a unit to determine the data among the data acquired by the acquisition unit as ineffective data if at least a part of it is related to a data group acquired during an ineffective period, and as effective data if all of it is related to a data group acquired during a period other than the ineffective period, the ineffective period being set based on an ending time point of the cardiac cycle in which the data is acquired, and a unit to reconstruct an image regarding the subject by using the effective data.

According to a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) apparatus, a scanning-parameter limit calculating unit creates examination information that represents scanning conditions for collection of magnetic resonance signal data based on scanning parameters set by an operator; a scanning-condition edit/scan positioning unit creates a time chart that indicates the type and a sequential execution order of an event to be executed when collecting magnetic resonance signal data based on the examination information created by the scanning-parameter limit calculating unit, and causes a time-chart display unit to display the created time chart.

An image display apparatus includes a storage unit that stores a plurality of image data with respect to a scan area of a subject; an analysis processing unit that obtains a plurality of analysis results by performing a predetermined analysis processing on a plurality of image data stored in the storage unit; a display unit that displays image data stored in the storage unit along with analysis results obtained by the analysis processing unit; and an image-display control unit that performs control such that image data corresponding to a specified analysis result is to be displayed on the display unit, when at least one analysis result is specified from among the analysis results displayed by the display unit.
摘要:
An apparatus for manufacturing a device comprises a processing unit configured to perform a process for manufacturing the device, a conveying unit configured to convey an article to the processing unit, and a controller configured to control the conveying unit based on a job queue. Information for controlling conveyance of an article for a job next to a job for which the processing unit is performing the process is registered in the job queue. The controller is configured to control the conveying unit so as to convey the article for the next job in advance, based on the information.

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a movement unit which moves a subject placed in a static magnetic field, a collector which collects data corresponding to a magnetic resonance signal emitted from the subject, a detector which detects a position of a particular section of the subject in the static magnetic field, a reconstruction unit which reconstructs an image, based on the collected data, when the detected position falls within an allowable area, and a controller which controls the movement unit to compensate for a deviation of the detected position from a reference position.
摘要:
A Signal-to-Noise (SN) ratio maintained scanning-condition recalculating unit re-sets a value of a scanning parameter other than an SN ratio included in scanning conditions when the size of a Field Of View (FOV) to be set for a scan is changed, so as to make the SN ratio of an image to be taken under after-change scanning conditions equal to or larger than the SN ratio of an image assumed to be taken under before-change scanning conditions. A scanning-condition edit/scan positioning unit then sets scanning conditions based on the value of the scanning parameter recalculated by the scanning-condition recalculating unit.
