  • Patent number: 10980441
    Abstract: In a protocol parameter selection method and corresponding device, when previewing a current sequence in multiple predetermined sequences, a corresponding reference performance index radar chart is displayed in a standard radar chart, according to a reference value of each performance index in multiple performance indices obtained in advance on the basis of the current sequence. The standard radar chart is a radar chart generated using the multiple performance indices as components and using as a standard a standard value of each performance index obtained in advance on the basis of at least one sequence. The method and device also include determining, as a sequence required for scanning, a current sequence selected according to the reference performance index radar chart and a performance index currently of interest.

  • Patent number: 10823810
    Abstract: A digital mode matrix phase calibration includes acquiring an actual phase deviation ??mn forming an actual phase deviation matrix ?? of a factory system; calculating an ideal phase deviation forming an ideal phase deviation matrix; calculating a phase deviation of the actual phase deviation and the ideal phase deviation; acquiring a maximum value of the phase deviation; when the maximum value ??max is less than a preset threshold ?, calculating a field system phase deviation ??mn, and a field system phase deviation matrix ?? formed by the field system phase deviation ??mn subjecting a field system to phase calibration. By acquiring only one row and one column in the phase deviation matrix, the technical solution in embodiments of the present invention can fit phase deviations of other rows and columns, and the method subjects the system to phase calibration quickly.

  • Publication number: 20200226904
    Abstract: A patient monitoring method and apparatus for a medical imaging device are provided, which subject an examination subject positioned in the medical imaging device to real-time image capture. Two images are sampled spaced apart by a specified time and captured by a camera, and a difference is calculated to obtain a difference image matrix. The difference image matrix is used to determine whether the examination subject has moved using a predetermined threshold. A display presents an image captured by the camera in a pop-up window when it is determined that the examination subject has moved such that a medical imaging scan operating interface and the image captured by the camera are presented together. The display only presents the medical imaging scan operating interface (not an image captured by the camera) when it is determined that the examination subject has not moved.

  • Patent number: 10613179
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus for magnetic resonance imaging preview and establishing an MR model, an MRI scanner is controlled so as to execute an MR model scan sequence to perform an MRI scan of a designated patient, to obtain an MR model of the patient. One type of scan sequence is sequentially selected from all types of scan sequence supported by the MRI device, and one parameter set is sequentially selected from at least one parameter set supported by this type of scan sequence. The selected sequence and the selected parameter set are used to subject the MR model to a virtual MRI scan, to obtain an MR preview image corresponding to the selected sequence and the selected parameter set for the sequence C. This is repeated for all types of scan sequence supported by the MRI scanner and all parameter sets supported by each type of scan sequence. An MR model of a patient can thereby be established, and MR images of the patient to be previewed quickly, before an MRI scan of the patient is actually begun.

  • Patent number: 9791529
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for indicating differentiation between tissues. For each tissue amongst multiple tissues, a magnetization vector corresponding to each tissue is generated on the basis of a random scan sequence; on the basis of the magnetization vector corresponding to each of the multiple tissues, a differentiation-indicating value between each pair of the multiple tissues is calculated. Thus, a physician can select a suitable random scan sequence, according to the method provided in the present invention, and generate a magnetic resonance image comprising multiple brightness curves corresponding to multiple tissues, such that the trends of the brightness curves corresponding to the multiple tissues in the magnetic resonance image differ significantly. The present invention also provides a device for indicating differentiation between tissues.

  • Publication number: 20120254435
    Abstract: Models and tools for facilitating database instance consolidation are described. One approach obtains standardized database instance performance data, receives instance isolation criteria which are applied to divide instances into sets, determines resource usage for each set, and assigns instance sets to target machines based on resource usage and capacity. Each instance set is associated with a virtual machine in some cases. A security isolation criterion indicates that specified instances shall not co-reside on a target machine; an organizational criterion indicates that specified instances shall be located together in a single data center; a compatibility criterion indicates that instances shall not reside in the same virtual machine, the same physical server, or the same server pool. Users iteratively reach an acceptable consolidation of instances at one or more data centers, such as an enhanced assignment of instances that is more efficient than a linear additive solution.
