  • Magnetic resonance examination system with a user interface
    Patent number: 10739431
    Abstract: A magnetic resonance examination system is provided with a graphical user interface and an (software) analysis module. The analysis module is configured to analyze examination information, notably a selected examination protocol, for actions to be taken by the operator, such as connecting auxiliary equipment or radio frequency receiver coils to the magnetic resonance examination system. The analysis module supplies the actions to be taken to the (graphical) user interface at the proper instant before or during carrying-out the examination protocol. In this way the operator is guided and supported in the performance of the selected examination protocol. This improves the efficiency of workflow in performing one or more selected protocols. Preferably, the graphical user interface is provided inside the examination room and may be mounted on the gantry.
