A magnetic resonance elastography apparatus, which may include a magnetic resonance apparatus and an elastography apparatus, is described. The magnetic resonance apparatus comprises a scanner unit, a patient receiving region surrounded at least partially by the scanner unit, and a patient couch, which is embodied to introduce a patient into the patient receiving region. The elastography apparatus comprises a drive unit, a vibration applicator which is arranged for an examination on the patient, and a force transmission unit, which is embodied to transmit a drive moment from the drive unit to the vibration applicator. The elastography apparatus comprises an EMC-tight shield housing with a cylindrical radiofrequency hollow conductor, and the drive unit is arranged within the radiofrequency hollow conductor.

Method for the operation of a cleaning system of a medical imaging facility, wherein the imaging facility has an outer useful surface exposed to contaminating effects of patients and/or operators. During a utilization phase for an examination procedure of a patient, sensor data of a sensor arrangement detecting at least a portion of the useful surface is acquired and by evaluation of the sensor data, a surface map having potentially contaminated regions of the useful surface is determined. During a cleaning phase following the utilization phase, cleaning information of the potentially contaminated regions are output to a cleaner and/or used for actuation of at least one cleaning apparatus of the imaging facility for targeted cleaning of the potentially contaminated regions.

A method and magnetic resonance apparatus for acquiring a communication signal of a person situated within a magnetic resonance examination room. The method includes acquiring an item of position information of the person using an acquirer, adjusting at least one microphone of a microphone array on the basis of the acquired position information, and acquiring communication signals of the person using the microphone array.

An unintentional adjustment of the user-controlled control elements on the device can result within the scope of the activation of a hearing device, after a switch-on delay has elapsed. To reduce this risk, a delay in the release of the user-controlled control elements attached to the device is provided in accordance with the invention in addition to the said switch-on delay.
