Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic material which contains at least one transition metal (TM), at least one rare earth metal (RE), and titanium. The content of the transition metal equals 74 to 94 at %, the content of the rare earth metal equals 2 to 20 at %, and the content of titanium equals 7 to 9 at %, in each case based on the total mass of the magnetic material, and the transition metal comprises cobalt.

Abstract: In a method as well as a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus for implementation of such a method for improved sensitivity-encoded magnetic resonance imaging using a two-dimensional or three-dimensional acquisition coil array, two-dimensional or three-dimensional undersampling of k-space is undertaken by measurement of a number N of basic partial trajectories ?n in k-space that in their entirety form a geometric arrangement of source points, a number M of different operators Cm(? km) are determined, with each operator representing an algebraic transformation with which unmeasured target points at an interval ? km from one of the measured source points are synthesized from a number of measured source points, the operators Cm(? km) are applied to at least one subset of the measured source points for at least partial completion of the magnetic resonance data set, and a largely artifact-free image is reconstructed in three-dimensional space on the basis of the measured source points and the synthesized data po

Abstract: A wood and plastic screw has an essentially cylindrical shank, a tip, and a thread extending along the shank as far as into a tip region. The thread comprises a tip-side and a head-side flank, with a head-side flank angle being larger than a tip-side flank angle. The tip-side flank angle remains approximately constant in a shank region and in the tip region whereas the head-side flank angle in the tip region is larger than that in the shank region.

Abstract: A method of magnetic resonance imaging of anatomy that is subject to a movement cycle (e.g., the heart during a cardiac cycle), comprising: administering a magnetic resonance contrast agent; waiting a period of time until the contrast agent is effective to cause selected portions of the anatomy (e.g.

Abstract: In a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus and a method for the operation thereof the acquisition of pure fat and water images is enabled, taking the basic field inhomogeneities into consideration, by utilizing the data that are obtained about the relevant measurement volume by means of a conventional 3D field measurement for the correction of the residual phase offset of the imaging data. The imaging data are preferably acquired on the basis of the 2-point Dixon method.

Abstract: In a method for generating image data by means of magnetic resonance radio-frequency excitation pulses and magnetic gradient pulses are emitted into an imaging region for generating location-coded magnetic resonance signals, which are received with an antenna for filling a k-space dataset that is divided into a low-frequency region and a higher-frequency region of k-space rows. The k-space rows are more densely arranged in the low-frequency region than in the higher-frequency region. The higher-frequency region is filled with synthetic k-space rows in post-processing such that the row density in the filled, higher-frequency region is the same as the row density in the low-frequency region. Image data of the imaging region are generated from the k-space dataset with the low-frequency region and the filled higher-frequency region using a Fourier transformation.

Abstract: In a method for spatially resolved temperature monitoring in an examination subject, a suspension of ferromagnetic microparticles is intracorporeally introduced into the body Curie temperature of which substance corresponds to a desired temperature limit value. By means of an MR measurement, a spatially resolved representation of the body is obtained with artifacts that are caused by the substance being in the ferromagnetic state being employed as a criterion for determining that the temperature limit value has not yet been reached.
