Abstract
In a method to control the acquisition operation of a magnetic resonance device in the acquisition of magnetic resonance data of a patient, and associated magnetic resonance device, patient-related acquisition parameters are determined, technical control parameters are automatically determined taking into account the patient-related acquisition parameters, and the magnetic resonance device is controlled according to the control parameters.
Claims24
A method for controlling an acquisition operation to acquire magnetic resonance data with a magnetic resonance apparatus, comprising the steps of:
- for a patient from whom magnetic resonance data are to be acquired with a magnetic resonance apparatus, determining patient-related acquisition parameters that have an effect on the acquisition of said magnetic resonance data from the patient in the magnetic resonance apparatus;
- providing said patient-related acquisition parameters to a processor and, in said processor, automatically determining technical control parameters dependent on said patient-related acquisition parameters;
- and
- from said processor, controlling operation of said magnetic resonance apparatus according to said control parameters to obtain a set of magnetic resonance data from the patient.
A magnetic resonance apparatus comprising:
- a magnetic resonance data acquisition device configured to receive a patient therein to acquire magnetic resonance data therefrom;
- a computerized control unit in communication with said magnetic resonance data acquisition device;
- an input port allowing entry into said control unit of patient-related acquisition parameters that have an effect on a manner of acquiring said magnetic resonance data from the patient with the magnetic resonance data acquisition unit;
- and
- said computerized control unit being configured to automatically determine control parameters, dependent on said patient-related acquisition parameters, for operating said magnetic resonance data acquisition unit to acquire said magnetic resonance data from the patient, and to operate said magnetic resonance data acquisition unit with said control parameters to acquire a set of magnetic resonance data from the patient.
