摘要:
In a method for navigation through medical image information, upon selection of a second operating mode, slice images from different slices within a slice image set can be selected by a movement of a control device in the y-direction and slice images from further slice image sets acquired at different acquisition times can be selected by a movement in the x-direction.

A method, a tomography system and a contrast agent injector for optimizing the time sequence of contrast agent examinations are disclosed, an automatically controlled text announcement system being used for instructing the behavior of a patient before or during the examination, and it being possible for a multiplicity of different announcement texts of different announcement duration to be temporally triggered and announced by the text announcement system. In at least one embodiment, on the basis of the announcement duration of one announcement text to be announced during the examination, the temporal behavior of this text relative to the work sequence of the contrast agent injector and/or of the tomography system is calculated, and inserted in the timing of the contrast agent injector via an electronic connection between the tomography system and the contrast agent injector is one time pause that leads to a synchronization of the work sequence of the contrast agent injector with the announcement duration of the current text announcement in such a way that the text announcement ends at a predetermined triggering instant of the combined work sequence of the tomography system and contrast agent injector.

An imaging device is disclosed for generating successive tomograms of an object. In at least one embodiment, the imaging device includes a radiation source, a detector, a positioning unit and a control unit for controlling the positioning unit and for evaluating the recorded data of the detector. In at least one embodiment, it is provided that the control unit is set up for matching a contrast medium protocol, in which parameters for contrast medium administration are stored, provided for examinations in a contrast medium device, to a scan protocol provided for the examination, in which operating parameters for generating successive tomograms are stored, for preventing unnecessary administration phases. This provides for a contrast medium examination with the least possible contrast medium administration.

A control method is specified for an imaging appliance, wherein a stored scan protocol in which operating parameters of the imaging appliance for image recording are stored, or a stored contrast agent protocol, in which parameters of contrast agent dosage are stored, is selected from a databank, contrast agent and scan protocols which are linked to the selected scan or contrast agent protocol are identified in the databank on the basis of a stored logic parameter which is associated with the respective protocols, and, if present, the or each protocol identified in this way is output as the contrast agent or scan protocol associated with the selected scan or contrast agent protocol. A correspondingly suitable imaging appliance is also specified.

A method is disclosed for obtaining a 4D image data record of an object under examination using measured data from a computed tomography system in which projection data are accepted which were acquired by way of the computed tomography system at different imaging time points by way of an helical scan method following the administration of contrast medium to the object under examination). On the basis of the projection data, image data of the object under examination are then reconstructed and linked with the imaging time points to a space/time data record. Then, a parameterized 4D image data model is individualized with adaptation to the space/time data record by varying model parameters. An image processing device and a computed tomography system with an image processing device of this kind are also described.
摘要:
A method is described for controlling an imaging modality. The method includes acquiring data specific to an examination object and automatically selecting a raw data record from a number of raw data records on the basis of the data specific to the examination object. The method further includes producing an image on the basis of the selected raw data record and by using a selected control parameter set. The produced image is then output to a user. Thereafter, a change command of the user is detected, for altering the control parameter set, or detecting a confirmation command for confirming the control parameter set. Next, the control parameter set is changed in accordance with a detected change command. The method then includes repeating the method steps of producing, outputting, detecting and changing with the respectively current, changed control parameter set until a confirmation signal is detected. Finally, image data is acquired by using the current control parameter set when a confirmation command is detected. An apparatus suitable for controlling an imaging modality is also described.
摘要:
In a method and device for medical imaging, a number of input parameters with regard to an image exposure are imported into a controller of the imaging device, that associate a desired image quality with a defined image exposure region. A number of control parameters are determined corresponding to each input parameter. The controller supplies each control parameter to the image acquisition apparatus for acquiring the image exposure of the examination region with the desired local image quality.

A method and a tomographic system are disclosed for displaying tomographic records of a patient. In at least one embodiment, the method includes scanning the patient with the aid of a tomographic system having one system axis, determining at least one topogram, calculating three-dimensional image data records including a multiplicity of slice images on a plane or volume data records, and outputting at least one slice image of the patient. In at least one embodiment, the orientation of individual body zones relative to the system axis of the tomographic system is automatically determined from the at least one topogram, and slice images of the body zones are calculated from the three-dimensional image data records, the slice planes of which are at a defined solid angle to the previously determined orientation of the scanned body zones.
