    摘要: A computer-implemented method for providing a 3D image dataset includes identifying an acquisition plan and an acquisition trajectory. The method further includes determining a collimator configuration of a collimation unit for each acquisition positioning, wherein each collimator configuration specifies a spatial arrangement of at least one filter element of the collimation unit such that: X-ray radiation that is emitted by the X-ray source and illuminates a detector row without earlier passing through the volume of interest is filtered, and X-ray radiation that is emitted by the X-ray source and illuminates at least part of a detector row after passing through the volume of interest is transmitted. The method further includes acquiring the X-ray projection images of the object under examination, wherein the collimation unit is adjusted based on the collimator configurations; providing the 3D image dataset by reconstruction from the X-ray projection images.

    摘要: Techniques for performing magnetic resonance imaging are provided, which include applying at least two different pulse sequences designed for simultaneous excitation of at least two slices, and measuring k-space lines of the slices with a Parallel Imaging Results in Higher Acceleration (CAIPIRINHA) sampling scheme. Each pulse sequence comprises multiple different phase patterns, each phase pattern is used for exciting one of the slices, and the phase patterns of different pulse sequences are arranged relative to each other according to a Hadamard encoding. Images are reconstructed from the measured k-space lines by forming image slices based on different linear combinations of corresponding slices acquired with different pulse sequences.

    摘要: A shim tray designed to be pushed into a shim tray receptacle of a gradient coil unit may elongated and have a length in a longitudinal direction, a height in a radial direction and a width in a circumferential direction. The shim tray may include at least two shim pockets each configured to accommodate at least two shim plates, and at least two shim plates arranged one above the other in a radial direction in one of the shim pockets. The surfaces of the at least two shim plates may have an insulating coating.

    摘要: A method performed by an MRI system includes: receiving at least one object parameter value of an object to be examined in accordance with a predefined MRI protocol; determining a frequency distribution of deposition values of examined objects, each having the at least one object parameter value, from available MRI examination datasets; determining, by a control unit of the MRI system, a reference deposition value of the examined objects, each having the at least one object parameter value, from the frequency distribution of the deposition values of the examined objects, each having the at least one object parameter value, for a predefined reference proportion in accordance with a predefined reference determining procedure; and determining, as a function of the reference deposition value, at least one MRI protocol parameter of the predefined MRI protocol for examining the object to be examined, in accordance with a predefined MRI protocol optimization procedure.
