  • Method for classifying a risk for thrombus formation in an organ, system for classifying a risk for thrombus formation in an organ, a computer program product and a computer readable medium
    Patent number: 11139082
    Abstract: A method is for classifying a risk for thrombus formation in an organ, in particular during an atrial fibrillation. In an embodiment, the method includes providing a medical image data set via a medical imaging device; calculating a flow parameter based on the medical image data set; assigning a risk parameter based on the flow parameter calculated; and—providing the risk parameter.

  • Method and device for position determination in a magnetic resonance tomography unit
    Patent number: 10393829
    Abstract: A method for determining a position of a mobile device relative to a B0 field magnet along a z-coordinate axis, and a device and a magnetic resonance tomography unit for performing the method are provided. The device includes a magnetic field strength sensor arranged in a fixed relative position. A characteristic magnetic field strength Bref of the B0 field magnet that emerges for a plurality of x-y coordinate pairs with a same reference z-coordinate zref is ascertained. The device is moved along the z-coordinate axis until the magnetic field strength sensor measures the characteristic magnetic field strength Bref.
