The patient image is transferred to a graphic interface, wherein the patient image is displayed. A position of a patient with respect to the isocenter is specified by determining at least one localization point in the patient image via the graphic interface.

Abstract: A method for providing information to a patient during a medical imaging examination, said method comprising: operating a medical imaging apparatus, while a patient is undergoing an examination with the medical imaging apparatus, during said medical imaging examination, providing a computer with time information that informs said computer as to an amount of time that has elapsed from a beginning of said medical imaging examination, from said time information, determining, in said computer, a residual examination time for the medical imaging examination that designates an ending time at which said medical imaging examination is expected to end, generating output information in said computer dependent on said residual examination time, said output information comprising humanly perceptible information formatted to inform the patient as to when said medical imaging examination is expected to end; and providing said output information in said humanly perceptible form to the patient while the patient is undergoing

Abstract: In a method and magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus for automatic selection of at least one scan program for a MR examination of a patient, at least one item of patient-specific information and/or at least one item of examination-specific information for the examination is provided as an input to a computer. Multiple available scan programs are made accessible to the computer. The computer is programmed to execute a self-learning algorithm, with the at least one item of information as an input to the self-learning algorithm, in order to automatically select the at least one scan program for the magnetic resonance examination from among the set of available scan programs. The computer then makes an electronic representation or designation of the at least one scan program that was the result of executing the self-learning algorithm available as an output from the computer.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for the selection of at least one item of examination information for a medical imaging examination before the medical imaging examination begins, position data of the patient are detected using a position detector. For this purpose, the patient is disposed for the medical imaging examination on a patient support of a medical imaging device. The detected position data are evaluated by a position data evaluation processor, with a patient image that shows a surface image of the patient being created on the basis of the detected position data. The position data evaluation processor determines multiple items of examination information on the basis of the surface image. The multiple items of examination information are presented at an output interface. A selection of at least one item of examination information for the impending medical imaging examination is then made from the multiple displayed items of examination information.
