Method, processor and magnetic resonance apparatus for displaying quantitative magnetic resonance image data

A computer for displaying quantitative magnetic resonance (MR) image data of an examination object, comprising:

• a processor configured to receive first quantitative MR image data of an examination object, said first quantitative MR image data having been produced by an MR scanner using a first basic magnetic field strength;
• said processor being configured to execute an algorithm that acts on the first quantitative MR image data in order to convert said first quantitative MR image data into synthetic second quantitative MR image data as would be acquired by said MR scanner using a second basic magnetic field strength that differs from said first basic magnetic field strength;
• and
• a display monitor comprising a display screen at which said processor is configured to display the synthetic second quantitative MR image data.

A magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus comprising:

• an MR data acquisition scanner;
• a processor provided with first quantitative MR image data of an examination object, said first quantitative magnetic resonance image data having been produced by said MR scanner using a first basic magnetic field strength;
• said processor being configured to execute an algorithm that acts on the first quantitative MR image data in order to convert said first quantitative MR image data into synthetic second quantitative MR image data as would be acquired by said MR scanner using a second basic magnetic field strength that differs from said first basic magnetic field strength;
• and
• a display monitor comprising a display screen at which said processor is configured to display the synthetic second quantitative MR image data.

A non-transitory, computer-readable data storage medium encoded with programming instructions, said storage medium being loaded into a control computer of a magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus that comprises an MR data acquisition scanner, said programming instructions causing said control computer to:

• receive first quantitative MR image data of an examination object, said first quantitative MR image data having been produced by the MR data acquisition scanner using a first basic magnetic field strength;
• execute an algorithm that acts on the first quantitative MR image data in order to convert said first quantitative MR image data into synthetic second quantitative MR image data as would be acquired by said MR scanner using a second basic magnetic field strength that differs from said first basic magnetic field strength;
• and
• display the synthetic second quantitative MR image data at a display screen.
