Abstract: In a magnetic resonance imaging method and apparatus, magnetic resonance data are acquired (an examination subject) using a zoomed method, and reconstruction of the image of the examination subject is undertaken using a parallel imaging reconstruction method.

Abstract: In a method and system to generate magnetic resonance (MR) images by MR data are acquired by a pure phase-coded imaging in k-space having a predetermined set of possible measurement points, with the MR data being acquired only for a predetermined subset of the measurement points of this set. An image is reconstructed from the acquired measurement points of the subset such that information about un-acquired measurement points of the set is also obtained.

Abstract: In a magnetic resonance method and apparatus for generating perfusion images, a perfusion series of magnetic resonance perfusion images is acquired that includes tag images and at least one control image, that are grouped in pairs. From each pair an initially processed perfusion image is obtained, such as by subtraction. Each initially processed image is subjected to a quality control review by analysis with respect to at least one image quality criterion. Any initially processed image that does not satisfy the quality criterion is rejected. Only initially processed images that satisfy the quality criterion are combined to form a resultant magnetic resonance perfusion image. Artifacts in the resultant perfusion image are thereby reduced or avoided.

Abstract: In a magnetic resonance tomography method and apparatus (MRT), as employed in medicine for examination of patients, for dynamic distortion correction in EPI measurements, image acquisitions are acquired that are adjacent in a periodic/alternating manner differ with regard to phase information, phase coding direction or with regard to the echo time, and based on this difference a field map and/or a displacement map is calculated with which at least one distorted result image is corrected.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for recording measured data of a patient while taking account of movement operations by way of a medical device that is designed both for recording movement-related measured data, in particular measured data of high temporal resolution and/or measured data that can be interpolated with regard to movement operations, with the aid of an imaging method and/or by means of at least one sensor element, and also for recording nuclear medicine measured data, in particular of lower temporal resolution.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for recording measured data from a patient by taking movements into account by use of a medical device designed both for recording motion-related measured data, in particular measured data with a high temporal resolution and/or measured data which can be interpolated with regard to movements, using an imaging method and/or by use of at least one sensor element and for recording nuclear medicine measured data, in particular with a relatively low temporal resolution.

Abstract: In a method and magnetic resonance apparatus for acquisition and processing of a series of temporally successive image data sets of the series of temporally successive image data sets is acquired by magnetic resonance technology, wherein k-space image data corresponding to each image data set are acquired, and for each image data set in the series, a determination is made, in at least one first part of that image data set, of a measure that characterizes a global image intensity value of that image data set. At least one second part of the image data sets is corrected using the determined measures and/or the determined measures are used in an evaluation of at least one third part of the image data sets. A temporal change of the global image intensity value in the series of temporally successive image data sets is compensated or taken into account in this manner.

Abstract: In a method and a device for automatic determination of perfusion by using a magnetic resonance system, multiple first MR data sets are thereby acquired from a volume element over time with a perfusion-sensitive imaging sequence, and multiple second MR data sets of the same volume element are acquired over time with a control imaging sequence, in particular a perfusion-insensitive imaging sequence. These first MR data sets and the second MR data sets are subjected to a statistical time series analysis in order to determine the perfusion in the volume element.

Abstract: Improved delayed release pharmaceutical dosage unit forms such as tablets are obtained by exposing a matrix of a compressed mixture of active pharmaceutical ingredient and of a polyacrylic ester polymer or a vinyl ester polymer insoluble in body fluids at the point of release to vapors of a lower alcohol.
