摘要:
A method, a tomography system and a contrast agent injector for optimizing the time sequence of contrast agent examinations are disclosed, an automatically controlled text announcement system being used for instructing the behavior of a patient before or during the examination, and it being possible for a multiplicity of different announcement texts of different announcement duration to be temporally triggered and announced by the text announcement system. In at least one embodiment, on the basis of the announcement duration of one announcement text to be announced during the examination, the temporal behavior of this text relative to the work sequence of the contrast agent injector and/or of the tomography system is calculated, and inserted in the timing of the contrast agent injector via an electronic connection between the tomography system and the contrast agent injector is one time pause that leads to a synchronization of the work sequence of the contrast agent injector with the announcement duration of the current text announcement in such a way that the text announcement ends at a predetermined triggering instant of the combined work sequence of the tomography system and contrast agent injector.

In a method for navigation through medical image information, upon selection of a second operating mode, slice images from different slices within a slice image set can be selected by a movement of a control device in the y-direction and slice images from further slice image sets acquired at different acquisition times can be selected by a movement in the x-direction.
摘要:
An imaging device is disclosed for generating successive tomograms of an object. In at least one embodiment, the imaging device includes a radiation source, a detector, a positioning unit and a control unit for controlling the positioning unit and for evaluating the recorded data of the detector. In at least one embodiment, it is provided that the control unit is set up for matching a contrast medium protocol, in which parameters for contrast medium administration are stored, provided for examinations in a contrast medium device, to a scan protocol provided for the examination, in which operating parameters for generating successive tomograms are stored, for preventing unnecessary administration phases. This provides for a contrast medium examination with the least possible contrast medium administration.

摘要:
A control method is specified for an imaging appliance, wherein a stored scan protocol in which operating parameters of the imaging appliance for image recording are stored, or a stored contrast agent protocol, in which parameters of contrast agent dosage are stored, is selected from a databank, contrast agent and scan protocols which are linked to the selected scan or contrast agent protocol are identified in the databank on the basis of a stored logic parameter which is associated with the respective protocols, and, if present, the or each protocol identified in this way is output as the contrast agent or scan protocol associated with the selected scan or contrast agent protocol. A correspondingly suitable imaging appliance is also specified.

摘要:
In a method for operating a medical diagnostic system including an irradiating examination machine and a contrast agent supplying machine, at least one operational parameter is assigned to the examination machine and at least one application parameter is assigned to the contrast agent supplying machine. In at least one embodiment disclosed herein, the operational parameters and the application parameters are concurrently, or even simultaneously, displayed via a display apparatus.

A CT system for scanning a patient is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the system includes a tube/detector system, which can be set by a control device in respect of tube voltage and/or dose power; a patient couch, which can be displaced in a controlled fashion at least in the direction of a system axis; and a computer system, which can control the CT system. In at least one embodiment, the system includes an evaluation unit for a prescribed logical decision tree, which is integrated into the computer system, and which determines examination and scan parameters for the CT system on the basis of the input of at least one patient parameter described in a parameter list and operates the CT system using these examination and scan parameters.
摘要:
A method for bolus tracking includes acquiring one or more baseline images. One or more trigger regions are automatically established within the baseline images. A bolus is administered. The automatically established trigger regions are monitored for bolus arrival at the one or more trigger regions. Bolus arrival at a volume of interest is forecasted based on the bolus arrival at the one or more trigger regions. A diagnostic scan of the volume of interest is acquired at the forecasted time.
摘要:
In a method and x-ray device to assist in the reduction of the dose of x-ray radiation applied to the patient in the acquisition of at least one x-ray projection of the patient, a selected protocol is entered by a user into an x-ray device, the selected protocol being defined for the acquisition of the at least one x-ray projection and including a measure or measures for reduction of the dose of x-ray radiation to be applied to the patient in the acquisition of the at least one x-ray projection. The does reduction measure or measures in the selected protocol are automatically compared in a processor of the x-ray device, with the dose reduction measures that are installed at the x-ray device for reduction of the dose of x-ray radiation to be applied to a patient in the acquisition of the at least one x-ray projection. If the result of the comparison indicates a discrepancy between the dose reduction measure or measures in the selected, defined protocol and those installed in the x-ray device, at least one such measure installed at the x-ray device is visualized as a measure that can be set or activated by the user, that is not yet included in the selected protocol.
