摘要： In order to minimize radiation directed to a region outside of a target volume of a patient during a radiation therapy and minimize the cost of an image-guided particle therapy system, the particle therapy system includes an ultrasound device having at least one ultrasound transducer positioned abutting or adjacent to an external surface of the patient. The ultrasound device and thus the ultrasound transducer are positioned outside of a beam path of a particle beam between a radiotherapy device generating the particle beam, and the target volume. The ultrasound device is operable to generate data representing the target volume and/or a region outside of the target region while the radiotherapy device directs the particle beam to the target volume. The particle therapy system includes a processor operable to control the radiotherapy device based on a comparison between the generated data representing the target volume and a predetermined treatment plan.

摘要： In order to position and simultaneously operate both a magnetic resonance (MR) coil and an ultrasound transducer adjacent to a target volume while minimizing interference between the MR coil and the ultrasound transducer, hybrid ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices are provided. One of the hybrid ultrasound and MRI devices includes a transducer array, a communications interface connected with the transducer array, and a housing that electromagnetically shields and encloses the transducer array and the communications interface. An electrically conducting side of the housing receives a radio frequency (RF) signal from an MRI system and transmits the RF signal to an electrically conducting side of a housing of another of the hybrid ultrasound and MRI devices.

摘要： Magnetic resonance and ultrasound parametric image is fused or combined. MRI and ultrasound imaging are used to acquire the same type of parametric images. Fused data is created by combining ultrasound and MRI parametric data at times for which both types of data are available. Rather than sacrificing rate, fused data is created for times for which MRI data is not acquired. A curve representing the values of the parameter over time is fit to the available MRI and ultrasound data of each location, resulting in fused data at times for which MRI data is not available.

摘要： In an imaging procedure, sound pressure is generated by applying ultrasound to the region to be imaged in order to cause a deformation of tissue therein from at least one acquired ultrasound image data set, first data are determined that represent, with spatial resolution, the deformation of the tissue as a reaction to the sound pressure. At least one magnetic resonance image data set is acquired, from which second data are determined that represent, with spatial resolution, the deformation of the tissue as a reaction to the sound pressure. The at least one ultrasound image data set and the at least one magnetic resonance image data set are brought into registration with each other by a comparison of the first data and the second data.
