摘要: The present disclosure relates to an insert system for performing positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. The insert system can be reversibly installed to an existing system, such that PET functionality can be introduced into the existing system without the need to significantly modify the existing system. The present disclosure also relates to a multi-modality imaging system capable for conducting both PET imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The PET and MRI imaging can be performed simultaneously or sequentially, while the performance of neither imaging modality is compromised for the operation of the other imaging modality.

摘要: A computer-implemented method for operating an MR facility having a main magnet unit with a patient bore. A field of view (FOV) of the MR facility, defined by a main magnetic field's homogeneity, lies within the bore. A patient bench to position the patient within the patient bore is longitudinally movable. Additionally, a local coil arrangement with at least one coil element to measure MR data is freely positionable on the patient bench and/or a patient's body to be measured with respect to the longitudinal direction. The method includes: ascertaining position information of the local coil arrangement in the longitudinal direction using a measuring device when the patient bench is partially outside the patient bore; ascertaining recording information describing the local coil arrangement's position with respect to the FOV; and automatically positioning the patient bench in the longitudinal direction at an approach position ascertained from the position and recording information.

摘要: The present invention is to perform appropriate noise reduction processing on an image having different signal levels or noise levels depending on an imaging condition or a reconstruction condition. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to the invention includes: a measurement unit that receives a nuclear magnetic resonance signal generated in a subject by a receiving coil; an image reconstruction unit that processes the nuclear magnetic resonance signal received by the receiving coil and reconstructs an image of the subject; an SNR spatial distribution calculation unit that calculates spatial distribution of a signal-to-noise ratio of the image using spatial distribution of a noise level and spatial distribution of the signal of the image; and a noise reduction unit that reduces noise from the image based on the spatial distribution of the signal-to-noise ratio.

摘要: Various examples relate to SENSitivity Encoding (SENSE) reconstruction of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images. Multiple coil sensitivity maps per coil of a receiver coil array are used, e.g., obtained from an Eigenvalue-based Spatially Constrained Iterative Reconstruction Technique (ESPIRiT) autocalibration protocol.

摘要: A radio frequency coil apparatus according to an embodiment is a radio frequency coil apparatus to be disposed in a bore of a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and including processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires a nuclear magnetic resonance signal generated from a subject placed in the bore. The processing circuitry supplies voltage to a constituent component of the radio frequency coil apparatus by using a switching regulator and a linear regulator. The processing circuitry selectively drives the switching regulator and the linear regulator based on an imaging sequence of the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus. The processing circuitry drives the linear regulator in a first duration including a duration in which the nuclear magnetic resonance signal is acquired, and drives the switching regulator in a second duration other than the first duration.
