Abstract: A computer-implemented method for provision of a correction algorithm for an x-ray image that was recorded with an x-ray source emitting an x-ray radiation field, a filter facility spatially modulating an x-ray radiation dose, and an x-ray detector is provided. The correction algorithm includes a trained first processing function that, from first input data that includes at least one first physical parameter describing the x-ray radiation field and/or the measurement and at least one second physical parameter describing the spatial modulation of the filter facility, determines first output data. The first output data includes a mask for brightness compensation with regard to the spatial modulation of the filter facility in the x-ray image. The method includes providing first training data, providing an autoencoder for masks, and training of the autoencoder using the first training data. The method also includes determining an assignment rule, and providing the trained first processing function.

Abstract: The invention relates to an insertable patient table for a Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanner, wherein the patient table has a length of up to ± 20 % of the length of the bore of the main magnet of the scanner and is adapted for pediatric and/or small patients, and wherein the patient table is adapted to be inserted into the bore of the main magnet without having a stand standing on the floor of an examination room. The invention further relates to a Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanner comprising an insertable patient table and a method for positioning a small and/or pediatric patient within the bore of a main magnet of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanner.

Abstract: A particle therapy system is provided. The particle therapy system includes a rotatable gantry being operable to generate a particle beam during operation and a measuring instrument for determining a position of the particle beam. The gantry is movable in the axial direction to correct a deviation in the position of the particle beam from an axial set-point position.

Abstract: A gantry system for particle therapy system, therapy plan and radiation method for a particle therapy with such a gantry system is provided. The gantry system for a particle therapy system includes a particle beam. A first beam guiding device rotatable about an axis of rotation of the gantry guides the particle beam so that the particle beam strikes a treatment location at a gantry incidence direction. The gantry incidence direction deviates from the axis of rotation and is variable. A second beam guiding device guides the particle beam to a treatment location in a second direction.
