Abstract: A system includes a protocol optimization system which comprises a data store containing a plurality of optimized protocol definitions, a storage device containing machine instructions, and a computing resource to execute the machine instructions. The protocol optimization system is configured to, based on an input of an optimized protocol definition, access the data store to identify a scout magnetic resonance image (MRI) scan for an MRI scanner, a processing block mapped to the identified scout MRI scan, and a diagnostic scan and provide the identified scout MRI scan to the MRI scanner. Using the processing block, the protocol optimization system analyzes a resulting image upon performance of the scout MRI scan to compute a patient tissue attribute and, using the computed patient tissue attribute, to compute an optimized parameter value for the identified diagnostic scan. The protocol optimization system provides the optimized parameter value to the MRI scanner.

Abstract: A device and method for tuning an element reactive in the presence of an external electromagnetic field as disclosed. The device comprises the reactive element, an electromagnetic field generator, and an external tuner disposed distally from the reactive element such that the electromagnetic field generator is intermediate the external tuner. A frequency at which the reactive element, inductively coupled to the electromagnetic field generator, will be responsive is tuned using the external tuner and adjusting a distance in a predetermined plane between the external tuner and the electromagnetic field generator. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope of meaning of the claims.
