Computed tomography (CT) measurement data of the patient is acquired using a CT device having a quantum counting X-ray detector, and the CT measurement data is processed to generate result data, considering a specific information content of the CT measurement data resulting from the use of the quantum counting X-ray detector in acquiring the CT measurement data. The result data is suitable for use in the planning of irradiation of the patient. The result data is provisioned to an interface such that the result data is usable for planning the irradiation of the patient.

Method for providing result data which is suitable for use in planning the irradiation of a patient

A method for compiling a dental overview map of the dentition of an examination object on the basis of magnetic resonance (MR) data from a MR measurement of the dentition. Performing an MR measurement for acquiring MR data from the dentition. Performing an analysis of sections of the dentition in order to determine an abnormality on the basis of the MR data, wherein a section of the dentition includes a subset of the number of teeth in the dentition, and determining an abnormality in at least one section. Compiling a dental overview map as a function of the MR data and the abnormality of the at least one section of the dentition. Providing the dental overview map.

Dental overview map compilation

In a method for performing a magnetic resonance measurement of an organ structure of a patient using a magnetic resonance imaging system adapted to the imaging of the organ structure: a correct positioning of the organ structure of the patient is ascertained, a correct positioning of the magnetic resonance imaging system with regard to the positioning of the organ structure of the patient is ascertained, a magnetic resonance scanning protocol is selected, a spatial coverage of the magnetic resonance measurement with regard to the organ structure to be imaged is adjusted, and the magnetic resonance measurement is performed to acquire magnetic resonance image data of the organ structure.

Magnetic resonance imaging system and method

A magnetic resonance imaging system can include a magnetic field generator, an image acquisition region and a radiofrequency system including at least one radiofrequency antenna. The radiofrequency system can emit a radiofrequency excitation pulse into the image acquisition region and receive magnetic resonance signals from the image acquisition region. The magnetic field generator can include at least one magnet to generate a magnetic field in the image acquisition region, a magnet holder to carry the at least one magnet and a rotation system to position the magnet holder along a rotation trajectory.

In a method, computer and medical imaging apparatus for the provision of confidence information, an automatic diagnosis system is provided to the computer. Medical image data acquired from a patient are received by or accessed by the computer. A measure of confidence is determined by the computer, which describes the reliability of a correct diagnosis of the medical image data by the diagnosis system. The confidence information concerning the reliability of the correct diagnosis of the medical image data by the diagnosis system is provided as an output from the computer, wherein the confidence information is based on the determined measure of confidence.
