  • Patent number: 10955508
    Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging system (200, 300, 400) includes a radio-frequency system (216, 214) with multiple coil elements (214) for acquiring magnetic resonance data (264) and a memory (250) for storing machine executable instructions (260) and pulse sequence commands (262).

  • Patent number: 7856132
    Abstract: A method for processing an image comprising the steps of assigning a value of a positioning error to a detail in the image, wherein the value corresponds to a positioning uncertainty of a position of the detail in the image. The method includes visualizing the value of the positioning error enabling an interactive adjustment of the value. The method further includes storing the adjusted value of the positioning error with reference to a position of the detail in the image.

  • Publication number: 20100172472
    Abstract: It is described a method for extending the imaged area of an imaging apparatus (100) by stitching several images (211, 212) together. The method comprises acquiring two images (211, 212) showing different parts of one and the same object (107, 207). Thereby, during both image acquisitions the spatial relationship between a radiation source (104, 204) and the object (107, 207) is maintained constant. Further, in between the two image acquisitions a radiation detector (105, 205) is rotated around the radiation source (104, 204). The method minimizes the stitching deformations by using a new arrangement of the image-acquisition geometries. A customized stitching algorithm can correct for small remaining distortions and yield a perfect perspective projection of the who Ie overview.
