Abstract
A method for operating an imaging modality of a magnetic resonance system and magnetic resonance system. At least one item of environmental information in an environment of the imaging modality is detected with at least one detection unit (of the magnetic resonance system. A potential start time is defined depending on the at least one detected item of environmental information. At least one component of the imaging modality is activated depending on the potential start time.
Claims14
A method for operating an imaging modality of a magnetic resonance system, the method comprising:
- detecting at least one item of environmental information in an environment of the imaging modality with at least one detection unit of the magnetic resonance system;
- defining a potential start time depending on the at least one detected item of environmental information;
- and
- activating, by powering-up, preparing, or preconditioning and before the measurement process begins, at least one component of the imaging modality according to a predefined activation sequence defined based on the potential start time and the detected at least one item of environmental information, the predefined activation sequence specifying an order in which further components of the imaging modality are activated such that each component of the imaging modality is ready at the potential start time.

A magnetic resonance system comprising:
- an imaging modality including a control apparatus that is configured to control the imaging modality for:
- detecting at least one item of environmental information in an environment of the imaging modality with at least one detection unit of the magnetic resonance system;
- defining a potential start time depending on the at least one detected item of environmental information;
- and
- activating, by powering-up, preparing, or preconditioning and before the measurement process begins, at least one component of the imaging modality according to a predefined activation sequence defined based on the potential start time and the detected at least one item of environmental information, the predefined activation sequence specifying an order in which further components of the imaging modality are activated such that each component of the imaging modality is ready at the potential start time.
