Abstract: In a method and system for simulating a magnetic resonance image of an examination subject, imaging parameters are determined that correspond to an imaging sequence that will be used to generate a magnetic resonance image of an examination subject, this being the magnetic resonance image that is to be simulated. At least one item of anatomical information of the subject is determined, and signal-to-noise information of the MR system, with which the magnetic resonance image of the subject will be generated, also is determined. The magnetic resonance image is simulated in a processor in real time dependent on the determined imaging parameters, the determined anatomical information, and the determined signal-to-noise information. The simulated magnetic resonance image is then visually displayed.

Abstract: An in vitro method is disclosed for (i) determining the risk to an individual of developing an arterial vascular disorder, or (ii) diagnosing an arterial vascular disorder. In at least one embodiment, the method includes at least the following: (a) determining at least one biomarker characteristic of a vascular disorder and/or an early stage of an inflammation in a biological sample of an individual, (b) determining the state of a vessel displayed using an imaging method, wherein the information obtained in (a) and (b) is correlated with (i) or (ii).

Abstract: In a method and system for processing medically relevant data in the framework of an examination of a patient that is to be implemented, a program is installed in a data processing device that selects one or more examination modalities to be implemented for the examination of the patient on the basis of symptom-specific and/or diagnosis-specific information that have been entered and using symptom-based and/or diagnosis-based data bank. The examination modalities are available as an output at a playback device.

Abstract: In a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus and method with motion correction in an angiography examination with magnetic resonance-monitored vessel intervention, a contrast agent-supported exposure of the vessel system (road map) is registered, with one exposure ensuing at the end of expiration and one exposure ensuing at the end of inspiration of the patient, and a magnetic resonance-visible medical intervention device introduced into the vessel system also is registered. A corrected road map of the vessel system is interpolated from the exposures at the end of inspiration and the end of expiration and the exposure of the intervention device is superimposed on the corrected road map.

Abstract: In a method and a system for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, an MR exposure of a body region is implemented with an MR system, a trajectory within the body region is prescribed in a coordinate system of the MR system on the basis of the MR exposure, and MR tomograms within the body region at individual positions along the trajectory are automatically angled relative to the patient or magnet coordinate system dependent on a perspective pre-selected by an operator. This angling is calculated from the trajectory at the individual positions in the prescribed perspective such that a maximum segment of the trajectory is contained in each of the MR tomograms. The tracking of objects in body canals or vessels by means of MR imaging is considerably simplified with the method and the appertaining system.
