  • Method and device for checking body coil of magnetic resonance imaging system
    Patent number: 10481225
    Abstract: In a method and device for checking a body coil of an MRI system a current value of one or more parameters of the MRI system is acquired under a specific condition. The current value is compared with a reference value of the parameter to obtain a comparison result. A state of the body coil is determined according to the comparison result. The method for checking a body coil of an MRI system according to a particular embodiment of the present invention can replace onsite periodic maintenance inspection by a maintenance engineer, and also detect damage to the body coil at an early stage.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for setting a scanning protocol for conducting a medical examination
    Patent number: 10203386
    Abstract: In a method and medical equipment for selecting a scanning protocol set, a preset virtual scanned object model including multiple scanned areas is loaded into a computer. The virtual scanned object model is a graphic or image model. A scanned area is selected by use of the virtual scanned object model. A default scanning protocol is set corresponding to the selected scanned area according to a preset correlation between the scanned area and the scanning protocol set, so as to complete the selection of the scanning protocol set.
