Abstract: A control device establishes a change in a main magnetic field expected for a respective time instant and based on the established expected change in the main magnetic field, correctively adjusts the main magnetic field and/or a nominal receive frequency of the RF receive coil and/or a transmit frequency for subsequent RF transmit pulses and/or takes the expected change in the main magnetic field into account in the evaluation of the received MR signals. At least for some of the RF transmit pulses, the control device acquires, via a sensor device, a portion of the respective radiofrequency wave supplied to the RF transmit coil. The controller extracts therefrom an oscillation corresponding to a respiratory motion of the patient and based on the variation with time of the extracted oscillation, establishes the change in the main magnetic field expected for the respective time instant.

Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly or a method for ascertaining the distance to at least one object. The light signals are converted into first electric signals by a first group of light-receiving elements, and the light signals are additionally converted into second electrical signals by a second group of light-receiving elements. The first electric signals are used to ascertain the distance by means of a time-correlated photon counting process depending on a starting time for the emission of the light signals. Furthermore, the second electric signals are used to determine the distance by means of an additional signal processing which differs from the time-correlated photon counting process. The second group has a lower degree of sensitivity for converting the photons into an electric current than the first group.

Abstract: A phase difference caused by eddy currents is determined for an MR system. First MR data is acquired with a first sequence by irradiating at least one RF pulse having an RF excitation pulse, importing a first test gradient during or after the RF excitation pulse, applying a read-out gradient, and acquiring the first MR data while the read-out gradient is switched, so the first MR data is acquired for at least one K-space line. Second MR data is acquired with a second sequence by importing a second test gradient during or after the RF excitation pulse, and applying the read-out gradient. The second MR data is acquired while the read-out gradient is switched, so the second MR data is acquired for the at least one K-space line. The phase difference per voxel is determined using the first MR data and the second MR data.
