Patent number: 10151815Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging system (78) includes a magnetic resonance imaging device (80), one or more processors (104), and a display (106). The magnetic resonance imaging device (80) includes a magnet (82), gradient coils (88), and one or more radio frequency coils (92). The magnet (82) generates a Bo field. The gradient coils (88) apply gradient fields to the Bo field. The one or more radio frequency coils (92) generate a radio frequency pulse to excite magnetic resonance and measure generated gradient echoes. The one or more processors (104) are configured to activate (116) the one or more radio frequency coils (92) to generate a series of radio frequency pulses spaced by repetition times and to induce magnetic resonance.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2013Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: KONNINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Stefan E. Fischer, Craig Kenneth Jones, Melanie Suzanne Kotys

Patent number: 9678220Abstract: The present invention relates to an x-ray detector comprising a sensor unit for detecting incident x-ray radiation comprising a number of sensor elements, a counting channel per sensor element for obtaining a count signal by counting photons or charge pulses generated in response to the incident x-ray radiation since a beginning of a measurement interval, an integrating channel per sensor element for obtaining an integration signal representing the total energy of radiation detected since the beginning of the measurement interval, and a processing unit for estimating, from the integration signals of the sensor elements, count signals of sensor elements whose counting channel has been saturated during the measurement interval.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2012Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: KONNINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventor: Christoph Herrmann

Publication number: 20130311200Abstract: A method includes identifying medical concepts in identified patient cases that are missing from medical concepts in first electronically formatted medical information as missing medical concepts, and selecting an imaging protocol for an imaging procedure based on a combination of the medical concepts from the first electronically formatted medical information and the missing medical concepts, and generating a signal indicative of the selected imaging protocol. A method includes identifying at least one of one or more medical concepts as a relevant additional concept, and selecting an imaging protocol for the imaging procedure based on a combination of one or more clinical indications and the relevant additional concept, and generating a signal indicative of the selected imaging protocol.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2012Publication date: November 21, 2013Applicant: Konninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Eric Cohen-Solal, Michael Chun-Chieh Lee
