International Classification:

G06Q 50/00

US Classification:

705 3

Abstract:

An example computer-implemented method for creating a medical presentation. The method includes accessing a medical exam, presenting the medical exam for review by a user, and marking at least a portion of the medical exam according to a criterion identified by the user. The method includes collecting the marked portion of the medical exam to be included in a presentation according to the criterion, and preparing, automatically, a presentation for the user as the user continues exam review, the presentation including the marked portion of the medical exam, wherein the marked portion of the medical exam is anonymized, the presentation to be dynamically updated as the user continues review.

International Classification:

G01V 300

US Classification:

324318

Abstract:

An arrangement is provided for supporting the inner and outer gradient coils of one or more gradient coil sets, the coils of each gradient coil set providing one of the orthogonal gradient magnetic fields for an MR imaging system. The arrangement includes an inner cylindrical coil form disposed to supportably carry an inner gradient coil of a coil set, an outer cylindrical coil form in coaxial spaced-apart relationship with the inner coil form disposed to supportably carry an outer gradient coil of the coil set, and a stiffening cylinder positioned between the inner and outer coil forms to divide the space therebetween into first and second volumes. A thermally conductive adhesive material, such as an epoxy containing alumina particulate material, is inserted into the first and second volumes to bond both the inner and outer coil forms to the stiffening cylinder, in order to hold the inner and outer gradient coils respectively carried by the coil forms in rigid fixed relationship with respect to one another.

International Classification:

A62B 505

US Classification:

600410

Abstract:

In an MR system employing a phased array surface coil, a method is provided for reducing artifacts in an MR image acquired from a region of an object lying within a specified field of view, wherein the field of view has a dimension extending between first and second boundary limits. The method includes the step of positioning the phased array surface coil, which comprises a linear array of coil elements, in selected spatial relationship with the object region. The method further comprises selecting a particular coil element for use in acquiring MR data only if the coil element lies at least partially in a range which extends along the phased array and has a length equal to the field of view dimension, the range lying between positions respectively corresponding to the first and second boundary limits. Each of the selected coil elements is operated to acquire MR data from respectively corresponding subregions of the object region, and the MR image is constructed only from MR data acquired by respective selected coil elements.

International Classification:

G01R 3320

US Classification:

324318

Abstract:

An RF shield is provided to prevent coupling between the gradient coils and the RF coil of an MR imaging system, wherein the RF field rotates around the RF coil axis. The shield includes a number of coaxial conductive cylinders, and further includes a plurality of cylinders formed of dielectric material, each dielectric cylinder positioned between adjacent conductive cylinders. Each conductive cylinder is formed from sheets of copper, each sheet having a pattern of conductive loops formed therein, and each loop having an associated gap to prevent induction of eddy currents therein by gradient magnetic fields produced by the MR system gradient coils. The number of conductive cylinders, and the angular orientation thereof with respect to one another, are selected to provide a plurality of closed paths for RF image current induced by the RF field, wherein respective closed paths are established by capacitive coupling between a given conductive loop of a given conductive cylinder, and conductive loops in other of the conductive cylinders.
