  • Publication number: 20240122495
    Abstract: Techniques are described for detecting a specified substance in an examination object by way of a magnetic resonance apparatus. A controller ascertains a magnetic resonance sequence comprising at least one sub-sequence for detecting at least one substance to be detected in the examination object as a function of the at least one substance to be detected, and ascertains at least one measuring instant for capturing a respective MRT signal to detect the at least one substance to be detected in the examination object as a function of the at least one substance to be detected. The at least one MRT signal is evaluated for fulfillment of a predetermined detection condition, and a presence of the at least one substance to be detected is established when the at least one MRT signal fulfils the predetermined detection condition.

  • Publication number: 20230240552
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for operating an MR scanner that comprises gradient coils configured to generate a field gradient along coordinate axes of a coil coordinate system. The techniques include receiving limit values concerning the field gradient in the coil coordinate system and an MR scan protocol. Expected orientations of a logical coordinate system are then determined and, for each one, a compliant value for a timing parameter is determined and stored in a database. The MR scanner is controlled to carry out an MR scan, and afterwards the orientation is set to a first orientation. A first value for the timing parameter according to the first orientation is determined based on the data stored in the database, and the MR scanner is controlled to carry out a scan sequence according to the first orientation and the first value.
