Patent number: 10690734Abstract: A magnetic resonance examination system comprises cooling clients (113, 144, 115) from which heat is carried-off by way of a system cooling circuit. A heat source (109) is in thermal contact with the system cooling circuit. A main pump (107) drives flow of the coolant in the system cooling circuit. The coolant is kept in motion and may be heated by the heat source. Thus, freezing of the coolant is avoided without the need of antifreeze. A back-up pump (121) of lower performance requirements may maintain flow of the coolant even if the main pump fails. A low viscosity coolant, such as water may be used. The system also contains a shut-off valve (127) and a short-circuit (141) parallel to the shut-off valve.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2016Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventor: Cornelis Leonardus Gerardus Ham

Patent number: 10692226Abstract: A system and method are provided for enabling atlas registration in medical imaging, said atlas registration comprising matching a medical atlas 300, 302 to a medical image 320. The system and method may execute a Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithm to learn a model for matching the medical atlas to the medical image, wherein said learning is on the basis of a reward function quantifying a degree of match between the medical atlas and the medical image. The state space of the RL algorithm may be determined on the basis of a set of features extracted from i) the atlas data and ii) the image data. As such, a model is obtained for medical atlas registration without the use, or with a reduced use, of heuristics. By using a machine learning based approach, the solution can easily be applied to different atlas matching problems, e.g., to different types of medical atlases and/or medical images.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2017Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Erik Bresch, Vlado Menkovski
