  • Publication number: 20220273185
    Abstract: Abdomen scanning techniques are disclosed. The techniques include acquiring a current abdomen positioning image; inputting the current abdomen positioning image into a pre-trained liver outline acquisition model, and obtaining current liver outline information outputted by the liver outline acquisition model; the liver outline acquisition model being obtained by training, using a first quantity of historical abdomen positioning images as an input set, and using a first quantity of historical liver outline information respectively corresponding to the first quantity of historical abdomen positioning images as an output set; based on the current liver outline information, calculating an abdomen scanning range and a scanning center position, and applying the scanning range and scanning center position in a current scanning protocol; and using the scanning protocol to perform a magnetic resonance scan of an abdomen.

  • Patent number: 10980441
    Abstract: In a protocol parameter selection method and corresponding device, when previewing a current sequence in multiple predetermined sequences, a corresponding reference performance index radar chart is displayed in a standard radar chart, according to a reference value of each performance index in multiple performance indices obtained in advance on the basis of the current sequence. The standard radar chart is a radar chart generated using the multiple performance indices as components and using as a standard a standard value of each performance index obtained in advance on the basis of at least one sequence. The method and device also include determining, as a sequence required for scanning, a current sequence selected according to the reference performance index radar chart and a performance index currently of interest.

  • Publication number: 20200337663
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for operating a medical imaging system to obtain frames of initial scanned images of a cross section of a scanned site of interest at different times in a first cycle; compare the frames to identify a plurality of blood vessel locations in the frames; calculate, according to the signal strengths of the frames at the plurality of blood vessel locations, a trigger time for triggering the scanning of the medical imaging system in a second cycle; combining the plurality of frames to determine a scanning range for operating the medical imaging system to scan the site of interest during the second cycle; and generating, according to the trigger time and the scanning range, a blood vessel imaged image of the site of interest during the second cycle.
