  • Patent number: 11547804
    Abstract: An MRI system (100) is proposed (for generating one or more images of a body-part of a patient under analysis); the MRI system (100) comprises an injector head assembly (155), for injecting at least one medical fluid into the patient, having a clock unit (340) for providing a clock signal with a clock frequency. The MRI system (100) comprises means (420-425; 445-460) for adjusting the clock frequency in response to a manual command and/or to a detection of a degradation of the images. An injector system (155,165) for use in this MRI system (100) is also proposed. Moreover, a corresponding method (500) for managing the injector head assembly (155) is proposed. A computer program (400) for implementing the method (500) and a corresponding computer program product are also proposed.

  • Publication number: 20180099286
    Abstract: An analysis system and a method for testing a biological sample is proposed, wherein, before the start of the test, the amount of energy remaining in an energy storage means of the analysis device is compared with an energy requirement for the test, and the test is only started if the amount of energy meets the energy requirement, and/or a temperature-control apparatus designed for temperature-controlling the cartridge is controlled depending on an interior space temperature of the analysis device.
