    摘要: Techniques are described for generating setting parameters for an MRI sequence to be performed, wherein a conditional generative artificial neural network is used that has been trained as part of a conditional generative adversarial net. The techniques also include establishing a conditional generative artificial neural network. The conditioning of the conditional generative artificial neural network can be used to specify a specific medical application or question to obtain setting parameters for an MRI apparatus that are optimized with respect to said application or question.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method of selecting a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) sampling strategy includes selecting a base variable-density sampling pattern and determining a scan time associated with the base variable-density sampling pattern. A modified variable-density sampling pattern is created by modifying one or more parameters of the base variable-density sampling pattern to maximize a sampled k-space area without increasing the scan time. Next, a scan is performed on an object of interest using the modified variable-density sampling pattern to obtain a sparse MRI dataset. Then a sparse reconstruction process is applied to the sparse MRI dataset to yield an image of the object of interest.

    摘要: A method for operating a medical diagnostic system that is configured to use a system component of the diagnostic system to generate examination data of a person under examination during an examination procedure is provided. The examination procedure with control of the system component is controlled by a piece of control software, and a component driver exchanges control commands of the control software with the system component in order to control the system component. The method includes providing an event driver that communicates with the control software via an interface of the control software. Via the event driver, a first event is detected in the examination procedure and reported to the event driver. When the first event is detected in the examination procedure, the use of the system component in the examination procedure is modified to a first type defined by the event driver.

    摘要: A method for acquiring a three-dimensional image volume using a magnetic resonance imaging device includes performing a multi-slice or multi-slab acquisition process to acquire a plurality of slices or three-dimensional slabs corresponding to an imaged object. Each respective slice or three-dimensional slab included in the plurality of slices or three-dimensional slabs comprises k-space data. An iterative compressed-sensing reconstruction process is applied to jointly reconstruct the plurality of three-dimensional slabs as a single consistent volume. The iterative compressed-sensing reconstruction process solves a cost function comprising a summation of individual data fidelity terms corresponding to the plurality of three-dimensional slabs.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to an imaging system for creating an image of an examination object comprising a system component and a control component. The system component has a component property that is able to assume a value in a first value range established by the imaging system. A corresponding system component of another imaging system comprises a corresponding component property with another value range with an overlap range with the first value range. The control component is embodied to control the use of the system component on the creation of the image, wherein the control component can be operated in a compatibility mode. In the compatibility mode, the control component is configured, on the creation of the image, to only allow values that lie within the overlap range for the component property of the system component.
