Abstract: In a method for determining at least one test position for a test measurement to be recorded by means of a magnetic resonance system, a test image is recorded, and at least one test position is selected based on the test image. With methods for the compensation of effects of deviations of gradients actually generated during a readout duration from gradients planned for this readout time duration, the selection of test positions according to the disclosure based on a test image advantageously ensures that the test positions lie in a recording region favorable for the test measurement, e.g. also within an examination object to be examined in the test image. A higher image quality in MR images, which were generated using test measurements carried out at test positions positioned according to the disclosure, can therefore be achieved.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to techniques for operating an imaging facility for preparing an imaging process. For each imaging process, at least one image dataset is reconstructed in a reconstruction step from raw data recorded in accordance with at least one recording protocol using a reconstruction facility with reconstruction software. For advance calculation of a duration for the reconstruction step, an input dataset comprising at least one protocol parameter of the recording protocol influencing the duration of the reconstruction step and at least one hardware parameter describing the hardware of the reconstruction facility and/or at least one software parameter describing the reconstruction software is compiled, and the duration is ascertained from the input dataset by way of a trained advance calculation function, which is trained by machine learning.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for operating a magnetic resonance facility for recording a magnetic resonance data set may include, after the recording of all the reference data, before the establishment of the calibration data, an intensity adjustment of the reference data with respect to the different temporal position of time portions in which they were recorded is performed for the recording of the associated slice scan data. The intensity adjustment may include establishing a representative intensity value for each reference data set of a slice, forming an intensity progression for each time portion from the intensity values of the reference data sets recorded in the time portion, establishing a scaling of the intensity progressions relative to one another, and performing the intensity adjustment based on the scaling.

Abstract: A method for creating calibration data for processing accelerated measurement data of an object to be examined using a magnetic resonance system. The method includes recording measurement data sets using an acquisition acceleration method, recording calibration data sets, and determining processed measurement data sets from the accelerated measurement data sets using the calibration data sets so that effects of the acquisition acceleration method used are eliminated in the processed measurement data sets. The recording of the calibration data sets includes an application of at least one attenuation method for attenuating signals causing phase errors.

Abstract: Method for separating measurement data of an examination object, which data was acquired in collapsed form simultaneously for slices using an EPI SMS technique, into measurement data of individual slices, first and second sets of reference measurement data for separating the measurement data are acquired for each of the slices using a GRE acquisition technique, wherein the reference measurement data in the first set is acquired during switching of readout gradients of a first polarity, and the reference measurement data in the second set is acquired during switching of readout gradients of a second polarity. Based on the two sets of reference measurement data, corresponding separate first calibration data is determined from the reference measurement data acquired using a GRE acquisition technique while switching readout gradients of a first polarity, and second calibration data is determined from the reference measurement data acquired while switching readout gradients of a second polarity.

Abstract: A method for preparing magnetic resonance imaging of an object under examination is described. A plurality of representative pulse sequence segments are generated, each of which is associated with a reference gradient amplitude of the gradient pulse having the highest stimulation potential of the representative pulse sequence segment, and the stimulation potential of which is representative of a group of partially different pulse sequences. For each of the representative pulse sequence segments, a maximum gradient slew rate is determined for which a permitted maximum value of the stimulation potential is not exceeded. One of the representative pulse sequence segments is determined and selected, for a measurement protocol to be planned for a magnetic resonance imaging to be performed, according to the gradient amplitude of the gradient pulse having the highest stimulation potential of a pulse sequence segment of the pulse sequence on which the measurement protocol is based. The pulse sequence segment of the pulse sequence on which the measurement protocol is based is adjusted in such a way that a maximum gradient slew rate associated with the selected representative pulse sequence segment is also not exceeded by the pulse sequence segment of the pulse sequence on which the measurement protocol is based.

Abstract: In reconstruction, such as reconstruction in MR imaging, sub-sampled measurements from the scan are used in each iteration. By masking parts of the sub-sampled measurements (i.e., sub-sampling the acquired sub-sampled data) used in one or more iterations of reconstruction, banding is reduced or eliminated.
