Abstract: Power converter having first, second and third lines, and a filter device having a first terminal connected to the first line, second terminal connected to the second line, and a third terminal connected to the third line. A first capacitor is provided via which a first current path is routed from the first terminal to the third terminal, a second capacitor via which a second current path is routed from the second terminal to the third terminal, a third capacitor connected between a center node, which is between the first capacitor and the second capacitor, and the third terminal. A switching device switches between a first filter mode, in which the first and second current paths are routed past the third capacitor to the third terminal, and a second filter mode, in which the first and second current paths are routed via the third capacitor to the third terminal.

Abstract: A non-localized efficiency shimming technique is used to generate radio frequency (RF) shimming values for imaging with a multi-channel transmit RF coil that minimizes subject-specific imperfections in the transmit magnetic field (B1+) and reduces or eliminates signal dropout in the acquired images, while keeping the coil working in an optimal mode with a high transmit efficiency. The non-localized efficiency shimming can be used for both small and large fields-of-view where a specific ROI does not need to be specified. The static non-localized efficiency shim is advantageous for turbo spin echo (TSE) imaging of smaller anatomical targets, whereas the dynamic non-localized efficiency shim is advantageous for larger fields-of-view, such as in human torsos.
