Abstract
A magnetic resonance tomograph includes a patient table, a patient receiving region, a feed unit that is configured to guide a medical instrument, and a rail system for guiding the feed unit. The rail system runs extensively on an interior side along an inner side of the patient receiving region). The patient table is configured to position a patient in the patient receiving region. The patient table is configured to be movable such that the medical instrument may be guided along a trajectory in the patient with assistance of a movement of the patient table.
Claims17
A magnetic resonance tomograph comprising:
- a patient table;
- a patient receiving region;
- a feed unit that is configured to guide a medical instrument;
- and
- a rail system for guiding the feed unit, the rail system running extensively on an interior side along an inner side of the patient receiving region,
- wherein the patient table is configured to position a patient in the patient receiving region, and
- wherein the patient table is further configured to be movable such that the medical instrument is guideable along a trajectory in the patient with the assistance of a movement of the patient table.
A method for planning a movement of a medical instrument along a trajectory in a patient receiving region of a magnetic resonance tomograph, the method being computer-implemented and comprising:
- receiving a trajectory, wherein the trajectory specifies how the medical instrument is to be guided relative to a patient;
- determining at least one table parameter of a table movement of a patient table as a function of the trajectory;
- determining at least one rail parameter of a movement of the medical instrument along a rail system of the magnetic resonance tomograph as a function of the trajectory, wherein the at least one table parameter and the at least one rail parameter are configured such that the medical instrument is guideable along the trajectory in a patient placed on the patient table by the table movement and the movement of the medical instrument along the rail system;
- and
- providing the at least one table parameter of the table movement and the at least one rail parameter of the movement of the medical instrument along the rail system.
A planning system for planning a movement of a medical instrument along a trajectory in a patient receiving region of a magnetic resonance tomograph, the planning system comprising:
- an interface;
- and
- a computing unit,
- wherein the interface and the computing unit are configured to:
- receive a trajectory, wherein the trajectory specifies how the medical instrument is to be guided relative to a patient;
- determine at least one table parameter of a table movement of a patient table of the magnetic resonance tomograph;
- and
- determine at least one rail parameter of a movement of the medical instrument along a rail system of the magnetic resonance tomograph, wherein the at least one table parameter and the at least one rail parameter are configured such that the medical instrument is guideable along the trajectory in a patient placed on the patient table by the table movement and the movement of the medical instrument along the rail system;
- and
- provide the at least one table parameter of table movement and the at least one rail parameter of the movement of the medical instrument along the rail system.
In a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions executable by a planning system to plan a movement of a medical instrument along a trajectory in a patient receiving region of a magnetic resonance tomograph, the instructions comprising:
- receiving a trajectory, wherein the trajectory specifies how the medical instrument is to be guided relative to a patient;
- determining at least one table parameter of a table movement of a patient table as a function of the trajectory;
- determining at least one rail parameter of a movement of the medical instrument along the rail system as a function of the trajectory, wherein the at least one table parameter and the at least one rail parameter are configured such that the medical instrument is guideable along the trajectory in a patient placed on the patient table by the table movement and the movement of the medical instrument along the rail system;
- and
- providing the at least one table parameter of the table movement and the at least one rail parameter of the movement of the medical instrument along the rail system.
