  • Patent number: 9026191
    Abstract: In a method and device for automatic determination of a flow of a bodily fluid within vessels of an organism by a magnetic resonance, a magnetic resonance angiography to procedure is implemented generate magnetic resonance angiography images, a of magnetic resonance flow measurement is implemented to generate magnetic resonance flow images, and the magnetic resonance angiography images are applied to the magnetic resonance flow images as a mask to produce a resulting image depicting vessels with flow therein.

  • Patent number: 8502532
    Abstract: In a method and a magnetic resonance (MR) system for acquisition of MR data of a measurement subject in an MR examination in the magnetic resonance system, MR data of the measurement subject (are acquired according to measurement parameters while the measurement subject is moved relative to the magnetic resonance system, the acquired MR data are analyzed, and the measurement parameters are automatically adapted.

  • Patent number: 8111888
    Abstract: At least one example embodiment discloses a method for automatically selecting a display mode for an image data record is provided. In the at least one example embodiment, spatially resolved values of a parameter are determined in a first image data record of the organ to be examined, with the parameter allowing an evaluation of a functionality of the organ to be examined. Thereupon a deviation of the determined values of the parameter from a tolerance range is localized. The result of the localization is saved, and a display mode of a second image data record is selected on the basis of the result of localization, with the second image data record being a 3D image data record. The second image data record is shown in the selected display mode.

  • Patent number: 7978891
    Abstract: In a method for generation of a medical image, starting from an acquired data set of an organ to be depicted, a magnification factor and/or an image section to be depicted are automatically determined dependent on the organ to be depicted. Based on this a medical image is generated from the data set. A data processing unit for medical images is fashioned for implementation of such a method and computer software implements such a method when it is executed on a data processing unit.

  • Publication number: 20110144475
    Abstract: In a method and apparatus to regulate a vessel intervention conducted with a vessel intervention unit, wherein an intervention region of the vessel intervention is at least partially imaged by means of an imaging monitoring unit, and a monitoring region to monitor the vessel intervention is selected, and the vessel intervention is at least partially automatically regulated in the intervention region dependent on at least one characteristic variable identified in the monitoring region.
