Abstract
In a method for an actuation of a magnetic resonance device for capturing image data from an examination region of an examination object, at least one first control sequence is provisioned, the magnetic resonance device is actuated according to the at least one first control sequence to capture first data from the examination object, the first data is analyzed with respect to a property to generate a result, and, based on the result, a selective performance of one of: a selection of a further control sequence, and termination of the actuation of the magnetic resonance device, is performed.

A method for an actuation of a magnetic resonance device for capturing image data from an examination region of an examination object, the method comprising:
- provisioning at least one first control sequence that specifies an actuation of the magnetic resonance device for generating image data;
- actuating the magnetic resonance device, according to the at least one first control sequence, to capture first image data from the examination object during an examination, the first image data being generated by the actuation of the magnetic resonance device;
- analyzing the first image data with respect to a property to generate a result indicative of an illness, the analysis of the first image data including a comparison of a value characterizing the property with a threshold value, wherein the result indicative of the illness is generated based on the comparison;
- during the same examination and in response to the value being greater than the threshold value, automatically selecting a further control sequence configured to generate a contrast adapted for diagnosis of the illness and that specifies a subsequent actuation of the magnetic resonance device to capture second image data from the examination object during the same examination, the automatic selection of the further control sequence being based on the illness indicated by the result;
- and
- during the same examination and in response to the value being less than the threshold value, automatically terminating the actuation of the magnetic resonance device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable program stored thereon, that when executed, instructs a processor to perform a method comprising:
- provisioning at least one first control sequence that specifies an actuation of the magnetic resonance device for generating image data;
- actuating the magnetic resonance device, according to the at least one first control sequence, to capture first image data from the examination object during an examination, the first image data being generated by the actuation of the magnetic resonance device;
- analyzing the first image data with respect to a property to generate a result indicative of an illness, the analysis of the first image data including a comparison of a value characterizing the property with a threshold value, wherein the result indicative of the illness is generated based on the comparison;
- during the same examination and in response to the value being greater than the threshold value, automatically selecting a further control sequence configured to generate a contrast adapted for diagnosis of the illness and that specifies a subsequent actuation of the magnetic resonance device to capture second image data from the examination object during the same examination, the automatic selection of the further control sequence being based on the illness indicated by the result;
- and
- during the same examination and in response to the value being less than the threshold value, automatically terminating the actuation of the magnetic resonance device.
A magnetic resonance (MR) device comprising:
- a MR scanner;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- provision at least one first control sequence that specifies an actuation of the MR scanner for generating image data;
- actuate the MR scanner, according to the at least one first control sequence, to capture first image data from the examination object during an examination, the first image data being generated by the actuation of the MR scanner;
- analyze the first image data with respect to a property to generate a result indicative of an illness, the analysis of the first image data including a comparison of a value characterizing the property with a threshold value, wherein the result indicative of the illness is generated based on the comparison;
- during the same examination and in response to the value being greater than the threshold value, automatically selecting a further control sequence configured to generate a contrast adapted for diagnosis of the illness and that specifies a subsequent actuation of the MR scanner to capture second image data from the examination object during the same examination, the selection of the further control sequence being based on the illness indicated by the result;
- and
- during the same examination and in response to the value being less than the threshold value, automatically terminate the actuation of the MR scanner.
A method for an actuation of a magnetic resonance device for capturing image data from an examination region of an examination object, the method comprising:
- provisioning at least one first control sequence that specifies an actuation of the magnetic resonance device for generating image data with a contrast;
- actuating the magnetic resonance device, according to the at least one first control sequence, to capture first image data from the examination object during an examination;
