Patent number: 7787684Abstract: In a method for planning an examination of an examination subject in a magnetic resonance system, the planning of the examination ensues based on a composite overview image that is composed of at least two individual images. A first part of the overview image is acquired and the first part of the overview image is made available to operating personnel of the magnetic resonance system for planning further measurements. A second part of the overview image is acquired and the first part and the second part of the overview image are combined. The combined image of the first part and second part of the overview image is made available for planning further measurements. The first part of the overview image is made available to operating personnel no later than before making the overview image available.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2006Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Walter Beck, Klaus Mayer, Cecile Mohr, Jochen Zeltner

Patent number: 7725154Abstract: In a method and device for planning an examination of an examination subject in an imaging diagnosis device, a reference image is selected, and an image of the examination subject is to be made that corresponds to the reference image. A workflow protocol is determined with which the reference image was generated. The acquisition of all required images of the examination subject is planned using this workflow protocol. The workflow protocol is executed for creation of an image of the examination subject that corresponds to the reference image.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2006Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Walter Beck, Klaus Mayer, Cecile Mohr, Jochen Zeltner

Patent number: 7480526Abstract: In a method for mapping a large examination volume with an MR spectrometer, at least one examination segment in the examination volume is defined a positioning device is activated such that the examination segment is situated in an optimal measurement volume of the MR spectrometer. In order to improve the image quality, physiological events in the body of the patient are detected by a detection device, in which physiological events an acquisition state, in which an MR acquisition is possible, and a wait state in which no MR acquisition is possible, occur cyclically. In at least one wait state, the positioning device is moved such that the examination segment is situated in the optimal measurement volume of the MR spectrometer.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2006Date of Patent: January 20, 2009Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Klaus Mayer, Cecile Mohr

Patent number: 7355406Abstract: In a method for planning an examination of an examination subject in a magnetic resonance system, wherein images of different regions of the examination subject are acquired that are assembled into an overall image, the position of at least one first image in the examination subject, the measurement parameters for this at least one MR image are established, the position of at least one second image in the examination subject is determined, the measurement parameters for the at least one second image are established, and the measurement parameters that are dependent measurement parameters are determined. With these dependent measurement parameters the measurement parameters in the images are set (adjusted) such that they are identical for all images.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2006Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Klaus Mayer, Cecile Mohr, Mike Müller
