Abstract: In one embodiment, An MRI apparatus comprising: an RF coil that includes a plurality of coil elements and can be installed in an arbitrary orientation with either a front surface or back surface brought into contact with the object; a table on which the object is placed; and processing circuitry configured to acquire an MR “Magnetic Resonance” signal in a first scan along any one axis from each of a plurality of representative coils selected from the plurality of coil elements, detect respective positions of the plurality of representative coils along the one axis based on MR signals, and determine disposition of the RF coil relative to the table based on the respective positions of the plurality of representative coils.

Abstract: An imaging assisting apparatus according to an embodiment is configured to assist imaging of a medical image diagnosis apparatus that performs a series of medical examinations including a plurality of scan protocols, the imaging assisting apparatus including a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to obtain data acquired according to one or more already-executed scan protocols among the plurality of scan protocols. The processing circuit is configured to perform one of the following when a disease or a region suspected of a disease is extracted from the data: controlling a scan protocol which is among the plurality of scan protocols and later than the already-executed scan protocols; and generating reference information related to controlling a scan protocol which is among the plurality of scan protocols and later than the already-executed scan protocols.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to perform an image generating process of generating a plurality of medical images on the basis of a plurality of imaging parameter groups, the plurality of imaging parameter groups being updated by adversarial learning. The processing circuitry is configured to perform a discriminating process of discriminating whether or not each of the plurality of medical images is a target image acquired by a first medical imaging apparatus in the adversarial learning. The processing circuitry is configured to output one of the imaging parameter groups used for generating the medical images in the image generating process when the adversarial learning has converged.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a calculation for determining branching conditions is carried out during the fetching of the branch-to instruction. The branching instruction causes a branch to the specified branch-to address depending on whether an incremented index is larger or smaller than a comparison number. The determination is made by adding an increment to the index and comparing the result with the comparison number. These BXH and BXLE instructions can be processed at a high speed.
