Abstract
A magnetic resonance tomography system may include an adapted ventilator with an air exit. The adapted ventilator may include an airstream generator (e.g., with a motor), an air volume amplifier which is arranged at the air exit and/or includes the air exit, and an air line section which carries an airstream that is generated by the airstream generator to the air volume amplifier. The air volume amplifier may be configured to increase an air volume of the airstream that is carried via the air line section to the air volume amplifier, so that it outputs an airstream with increased air volume.
Claims18
A magnetic resonance tomography system comprising:
- a movable patient couch configured to be moved at least partially into an examination region of the magnetic resonance tomography system;
- and
- an adapted ventilator including:
- an air exit;
- an airstream generator configured to generate an airstream;
- an air volume amplifier arranged at the air exit and/or comprises the air exit, the air volume amplifier being configured to increase an air volume of the airstream, wherein the air volume amplifier is arranged and attached to the patient couch such that, in response to the patient couch being moved into the examination region, the air volume amplifier is moved into the examination region with the patient couch;
- and
- an air line section configured to carry the generated airstream from the airstream generator to the air volume amplifier,
- wherein the air volume amplifier is configured to increase an air volume of the airstream that is carried via the air line section to the air volume amplifier to output an amplified airstream with increased air volume.
A magnetic resonance tomography system comprising:
- an examination tunnel having a tunnel entrance;
- and
- a support configured to be arranged in front of the tunnel entrance and to support a patient couch;
- and
- an adapted ventilator comprising:
- an air exit;
- an airstream generator configured to generate an airstream, wherein the airstream generator is arranged outside of the examination tunnel and positioned on the support or integrated with the support;
- an air volume amplifier arranged at the air exit and/or comprises the air exit, the air volume amplifier being configured to increase an air volume of the airstream;
- and
- an air line section configured to carry the generated airstream from the airstream generator to the air volume amplifier,
- wherein the air volume amplifier is configured to increase an air volume of the airstream that is carried via the air line section to the air volume amplifier to output an amplified airstream with increased air volume.
An adapted ventilator for a medical imaging device, comprising:
- an air exit;
- an airstream generator configured to generate an airstream;
- an air volume amplifier arranged at the air exit and/or comprises the air exit, the air volume amplifier being configured to increase an air volume of the airstream;
- and
- an air line section configured to carry the generated airstream from the airstream generator to the air volume amplifier, the air volume amplifier being configured to increase an air volume of the airstream that is carried via the air line section to the air volume amplifier to output an amplified airstream with increased air volume, wherein:
- the air volume amplifier is configured to amplify the air volume at least a factor of 5, or
- the airstream generator is configured to input the airstream into the air line section with a pressure of 80 Pa to 500 Pa.
