  • Publication number: 20120316428
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement (10) for examination and/or treatment of a human or animal body having a shielded room (20), a magnetic resonance imaging device (MRI) which is arranged within the shielded room, and at least one communication device (30), which is arranged within the shielded room and is suitable for receiving a radio signal for transmission of a voice signal, and has at least one electro-acoustic transducer (40, 41) which is suitable for conversion of an audio signal, which has been transmitted by the radio signal (Fin), to an acoustic signal (EAA). The invention provides that at least one antenna, which is connected to at least one further communication device, is arranged in the shielded room and is connected by radio to the at least one communication device (30) which is arranged within the shielded room.

  • Publication number: 20110313275
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention relates to a method for providing magnetic resonance images of a foetus or a mother carrying a foetus, the method comprising the steps of: applying an ultrasonic transceiver to the mother's body and inducing an ultrasonic signal into the mother's and foetus's body; receiving a returned ultrasonic signal and providing an output signal; processing the output signal in order to generate a trigger signal indicating the heart activity of the foetus; triggering a magnetic resonance imaging device taking the trigger signal into account; and generating magnetic resonance images of the foetus or the mother by using the triggered magnetic resonance imaging device.

  • Publication number: 20110098374
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bone cement mixture for producing an MRT-signaling bone cement and to an MRT-signaling bone cement produced from said mixture. The bone cement mixture of the invention includes: (a) at least one type of polymerizable organic monomers and optionally at least one already polymerized polymer component; (b) at least one MRT-signaling component with a magnetic susceptibility and a concentration in the cement mixture sufficient to generate a visible signal in at least one selected MRT sequence; and (c) at least 1 wt. % water, based on the total mass of the bone cement mixture. The bone cement mixture according to the invention is remarkable for its good signals in MRT in at least one measuring sequence, especially in the T1 sequence.
