MAGNETIC RESONANCE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR POSITIONING AN OBJECT ON A PATIENT POSITIONING DEVICE WITHIN AN ISOCENTER OF A MAGNETIC RESONANCE SCANNER

摘要

A magnetic resonance apparatus has a scanner that has a patient receiving area, a position data acquisition unit, and a patient examination table of a patient positioning device. The table is movable within the patient receiving area. The position data acquisition unit detects a subarea, including an isocenter, of the patient receiving area, and provides position data to a speed regulating processor that regulates the speed of the table of patient positioning device depending on this position data.

主权项

1. A magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus comprising:
an MR data acquisition scanner having a patient receiving area therein, said patient receiving area having an isocenter; a patient positioning device having a patient examination table that is movable within said patient receiving area; a position data acquisition detector having a detection field of view, which includes said isocenter, in which said position data acquisition detector detects position data; and a speed regulating processor, provided with detected position data from the position data acquisition detector, configured to regulate a speed of movement of said patient examination table in said patient receiving area dependent on said detected position data.
