    Abstract: A medical imaging system for acquiring medical image data from an imaging zone. The medical imaging system includes a memory for storing machine executable instructions and medical imaging system commands. The medical imaging system further includes a user interface and a processor. Execution of the machine executable instructions causes the processor to: receive scan parameter data for modifying the behavior of the medical imaging system commands; receive metadata descriptive of imaging conditions from the user interface; store configuration data descriptive of a current configuration of the medical imaging system in the memory; calculate an error probability by comparing the metadata, the configuration data, and the scan parameter data using a predefined model, wherein the error probability is descriptive of a deviation between the metadata and between the configuration data and/or the scan parameter data; perform predefined action if the error probability is above a predetermined threshold.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging data processing system (126) for processing motion artifacts in magnetic resonance imaging data sets using a deep learning network (146, 502, 702) trained for the processing of motion artifacts in magnetic resonance imaging data sets. The magnetic resonance imaging data processing system (126) comprises a memory (134, 136) storing machine executable instructions (161, 164) and the trained deep learning network (146, 502, 702). Furthermore, the magnetic resonance imaging data processing system (126) comprises a processor (130) for controlling the magnetic resonance imaging data processing system. Execution of the machine executable instructions (161, 164) causes the processor (130) to control the magnetic resonance imaging data processing system (126) to: receive a magnetic resonance imaging data set (144, 500, 800), apply the received magnetic resonance imaging data set (144, 500, 800) as an input to the trained deep learning network (146, 502, 702), process one or more motion artifacts present in the received magnetic resonance imaging data set (144, 500, 800) using the trained deep learning network (146, 502, 702).

    Abstract: In an MR imaging method and apparatus, a portion of a body placed in an examination volume of an MR device is subjected to an imaging sequence of RF pulses and switched magnetic field gradients. The imaging sequence is a stimulated echo sequence including i) two preparation RF pulses (α) radiated toward the portion of the body during a preparation period (21), and ii) reading RF pulses (β) radiated toward the portion of the body during an acquisition period (22) temporally subsequent to the preparation period (21). FID signals (I1) and stimulated echo signals (I2) are acquired during the acquisition period (22) with equal T2*-weighting. A B1 map indicating a spatial distribution of the RF field of the preparation RF pulses within the portion of the body is derived from the acquired FID (I1) and stimulated echo (I2) signals.
