Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a method for making calibration measurements in a magnetic resonance (MR) system, in order to acquire an MR image of an examination subject, wherein the MR unit has a computer for operating the MR scanner, and a system control computer designed to control multiple system components of the MR scanner, a preparation step is executed by the computer to prepare a first calibration step, in which a first parameter of a system component is matched to the examination subject via the system control computer, and to prepare a second calibration step, in which a second parameter of a system component is matched to the examination subject via the system control computer. The first calibration step is executed by the system control computer as is the second calibration step. The preparation step is executed by the computer to prepare one of the first or second calibration steps before one of the calibration steps is initiated by the system control computer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim as our invention: 1 . A method for making a calibration measurement in a magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus, said MR apparatus comprising an MR scanner comprising a plurality of scanner components, a computer interface operable by a user, and a system control computer configured to control said scanner components, said method comprising: in said computer interface, executing a preparation step, for an image acquisition by said MR scanner from an examination subject situa…
