  • Patent number: 8892183
    Abstract: A method for planning a combined examination of an examination object using two imaging modalities is disclosed, with measurements being taken in at least two regions of the examination object. In at least one embodiment, the method includes planning of at least one measuring protocol of the first modality, which includes at least one measurement in a first of the regions and at least one measurement in a second of the regions; planning of at least one measuring protocol of the second modality, which comprises at least one measurement in the first region; and automatic production of a combined measuring sequence by arranging the measurements in such a manner that carrying out the measuring sequence taking into account modality preparations to be carried out between measurements takes as little time as possible.

  • Publication number: 20110043204
    Abstract: In a magnetic resonance system according to a measurement protocol defined in advance and comprising multiple acquisition parameters, wherein given a non-compliance with at least one limit value (which is automatically established before the beginning of a subject-specific measurement data acquisition)—in particular a SAR limit value and/or a magneto-stimulation limit value and/or a hardware limit value—by the measurement protocol, an adaptation of at least one acquisition parameter ensues using at least one (in particular user-defined) protocol-specific rule for compliance with the limit value, and the measurement data acquisition ensues automatically according to the adapted acquisition parameters.
