A method for operating an imaging system, and a system, apparatus, and computer-readable medium, that operate in accordance with the method. The method includes providing field-of-view (FoV) information, and automatically selecting at least one recording sequence based on at least one of a particular diagnostic application of interest and the FoV information.

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage media for performing diagnostic examinations using MRI

A magnetic field unit of an MRT system for image capturing a head region as the region to be recorded, comprising at least one permanent magnet for generating a main magnetic field, a device for generating a gradient field, and at least one coil for generating and receiving radio frequencies. The magnetic field unit is fastened to a mounting such that a longitudinal axis of the magnetic field unit, together with a vertically extending axis, forms an angle of no more than +45 degrees, and the magnetic field unit and the patient can be adjusted relative to each other such that the magnetic field unit can be moved to a position surrounding the head of the patient.

A protective layer is provided for an image detector used for an x-ray image. This image detector comprises a layer of luminescent material that is to be protected against mechanical stress and moisture. A polymeric protective layer is disposed thereupon and is hardened exclusively in an area which does not border the layer of luminescent material. The hardened area provides protection against mechanical stress while the remaining area forms a moisture barrier. An appertaining method is provided for producing a polymeric protective layer on an image detector for an x-ray image, which is provided with a layer of luminescent material. The protective layer is deposited on the layer of luminescent material and then is hardened only in an area which does not border the layer of luminescent material.

Method for the production of and protective layer for a layer of luminescent material

The invention relates to a device for capturing ionizing radiation, in which a substrate which is provided with a phosphor layer is accommodated in a housing. To simplify the device and to ensure a high light yield, the invention provides that a means for buffering the atmospheric humidity is accommodated in the housing.

A monochromator to be used in an X-ray device having an X-ray source is formed by a crystal for spectral restriction of X-rays produced by the X-ray source. The monochromator includes a positioning device that can move the crystal so that it changes the spectral composition of the X-radiation. The crystal can be moved so that it changes the angle between an X-ray path and the crystal, or so that the crystal is removed out of X-ray path or returned into it.
