  • Publication number: 20230233128
    Abstract: In a method for extracting physiological data of an object under examination from ECG signals as part of MR imaging, raw ECG data comprising ECG signals may be captured from at least three electrodes located at different positions on an object under examination. The raw ECG data may be processed, which may include performing a first filtering using a first filter configured to extract an electrocardiogram, performing a second filtering using a second filter configured to identify a heartbeat, performing a third filtering using a third filter configured to extract and/or represent a respiratory movement, and/or performing a fourth filtering using a fourth filter configured to identify breathing. The processed raw ECG data including physiological data of the object under examination may be provided as an output.

  • Publication number: 20230068520
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a radio-based physiological acquisition system for an RF-shielded room comprising a peripheral acquisition unit with a peripheral transmitter, a peripheral control unit, and a door sensor unit. The door sensor unit is configured to determine an opening status of a door in an RF shield around the RF-shielded room. The peripheral acquisition unit is configured to switch off the peripheral transmitter depending on the opening status of the door, e.g. when the door is open.

  • Publication number: 20210325501
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for correcting a movement of an object occurring during an MR image acquisition. The method includes: determining a motion model describing possible movements of the object based on a defined number of degrees of freedom; detecting a motion of a marker provided on the object with a motion sensor; determining a description of the motion model in a common coordinate system; determining the motion of the marker in the common coordinate system; determining a first motion of the object in the common coordinate system using the description of the motion model, the first motion being the motion that best matches the determined motion of the marker in the common coordinate system using the defined number of degrees of freedom; and correcting the movement of the object based on the determined first motion in order to determine at least one motion corrected MR image.
