  • Publication number: 20200341097
    Abstract: A method is used to carry out a magnetic resonance measurement with at least one echo train with n spin echoes and prospective movement correction. Movement correction data for each echo train is updated at the start of the echo train and is then updated again at most partially for the spin echoes.

  • Publication number: 20200341101
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a computer implemented method for magnetic resonance imaging. The method includes: receiving at least a first and a second subset of k-space data as radio frequency signals emitted from excited hydrogen atoms of a subject; sampling the first and second subset of k-space data; choosing the first subset of k-space data as a base subset of k-space data; estimating motion parameters of the second subset of k-space data against the base subset of k-space data; and correcting the second subset of k-space data based on the estimated motion parameters of the second subset of k-space data. The motion parameters of the second subset of k-space data are parameters of a non-linear motion estimating function representing a motion of the subject between receiving the first subset of k-space data and receiving the second subset of k-space data.

  • Publication number: 20200214590
    Abstract: A method for operating a medical diagnostic system that is configured to use a system component of the diagnostic system to generate examination data of a person under examination during an examination procedure is provided. The examination procedure with control of the system component is controlled by a piece of control software, and a component driver exchanges control commands of the control software with the system component in order to control the system component. The method includes providing an event driver that communicates with the control software via an interface of the control software. Via the event driver, a first event is detected in the examination procedure and reported to the event driver. When the first event is detected in the examination procedure, the use of the system component in the examination procedure is modified to a first type defined by the event driver.
