摘要:
In a method and system for automated association of an assessor with an assessment task (in particular an evaluation of an image data set) an assessor database is used that contains assessors as well as selection information associated with assessors and task information associated with assessment tasks. A medical assessment is automatically associated with an assessor using at least one decision rule, starting from the task information and with consideration of the relevant selection information.

The invention relates to an upper body MRI scanner comprising a magnet arrangement for producing a horizontally oriented homogeneous main magnetic field, said magnet arrangement being designed to examine the upper body of a standing patient. An image acquisition unit is provided for continuously creating upper body image of the standing patient. A quality checking unit is designed for automatically determining a quality metric characterizing the quality of the upper body images. An imaging controller connected to the image acquisition unit and the quality checking unit is provided for activating the image acquisition unit and outputting signals for influencing the position and/or behavior of the patient as a function of the characteristic quality metric. An output unit connected to the image acquisition unit is used for displaying and/or storing at least some of the upper body images.
摘要:
An endocapsule has a measurement chamber therein containing a sensor that detects at least one metabolic product of a specific bacterium in a hollow organ of a human or animal gastrointestinal tract. The endocapsule is introduced into the hollow organ wherein detection of the at least one metabolic product takes place.

In a method for automated evaluation of a three-dimensional map of a laterally-symmetric organ system as well as medical image acquisition system and a computer program for this purpose, a three-dimensional image of the organ system is segmented, and the segmented organ system is deformed such that the deformed organ system has two mirror-symmetric halves with regard to its external shape. The differences between both mirror-symmetrical halves of the deformed organ system are determined by a comparison of one half with the other half. Alternatively, instead of the deformation of the segmented organ system a mirror-symmetric normal model of the organ system can be deformed, relative to the organ system, or vice versa, such that differences of corresponding regions of both halves of the organ system can be determined using the normal model. The determined differences are presented to a user.
摘要:
A positron emission tomography unit (PET), having a unit part assigned to an examination space and a first evaluation unit, is combined with a magnetic resonance tomography unit (MRT). The unit part of the PRT includes at least two gamma ray detector units with in each case an assigned electronics unit. The MRT includes a second evaluation unit, a gradient coil system and a high frequency antenna device formed as a stripline antenna device having at least two conductors. The high frequency antenna device is arranged nearer to the examination space than the gradient coil system with a high frequency shield between the gradient coil system and the high frequency antenna device. Each conductor of the stripline antenna device respectively includes a gamma ray detector unit with an assigned electronics unit. The conductors of the stripline antenna device are configured for the respective gamma ray detector units and their assigned electronics units as shielding covers that are caused by the high frequency antenna device and are opaque to high frequency radiation. An examination object in the examination space can be imaged by the combined positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance tomography unit.

A combined PET/MRI tomography unit has a PET unit with a unit part assigned to the examination space, and a first evaluation unit for evaluating the PET electric signals. The unit part has a gamma ray detector. The combined unit has an MRI unit and a second evaluation unit for evaluating MRI signals. The MRI unit has a high frequency antenna as well as a gradient coil system, the high frequency antenna device being arranged nearer to the examination space than the gradient coil system, as well as a high frequency shield arranged between the gradient coil system and the high frequency antenna device. The PET unit part is arranged between the high frequency shield and the high frequency antenna device. A shielding cover for the high frequency antenna device faces the high frequency antenna device. The shielding cover is opaque to high frequency radiation.
摘要:
A method for determining positron emission measurement information in the context of positron emission tomography is disclosed. The method includes using a marker substance to carry out a positron emission measurement, in a body area of a subject to be examined, to determine positron emission measurement information, and at the same time, generating images of the body area to be examined by way of a second medical method with a time resolution suitable for determining perfusion and/or diffusion information. The method further includes using the images from the second method to determine perfusion and/or diffusion information for at least a part of the measurement period, and evaluating the positron emission measurement information as a function of the perfusion and/or diffusion information.
摘要:
An endoscopy system has an endo-robot that is navigable within an anatomical lumen of a patient by interacting with a magnetic field generated by an extracorporeal magnet system. The patient lies on a patient bed that is movable in one or more directions and/or orientations, and an obstacle detects objects in the movement path of the endo-robot in the anatomical lumen and produces a signal that causes the position and/or orientation of the patient bed to be altered dependent thereon.
