Embodiment Construction

[0039] figure 1 Shown is the medical examination apparatus 1 of the present invention. A magnetic resonance imaging device 2 serving as an imaging device is provided. The patient 3 lies on the patient examination table 4 and is sent into the magnetic resonance imaging device. Furthermore, the patient 3 is also connected to an electrocardiograph 5 , whereby the corresponding cardiac phases can be measured. The operation of the medical examination equipment is controlled by a computing device 6 to which a monitor 7 is connected. What needs to be examined is the target area 8 within the target area 9 in the patient 3 . Among them, the computing device 6 is used to implement the method of the present invention.

[0040] An exemplary cardiac examination of a patient 3 is described below with the aid of an exemplary embodiment of the method. Among these, it is common practice to record multiple magnetic resonance image datasets. By first recording a so-called functional image ...

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for determining and displaying at least one piece of information on a target volume, especially in a human body, said information being obtained from an image record. The inventive method comprises the following steps: a first and at least one second image record of a target zone encompassing the target volume are recorded, the first image record having a higher contrast regarding the boundaries of the target volume, and the first and the second image record being registered together; the target volume is segmented in the first image record; target volume image data is selected in the second image record by taking into account the segmentation and registration; the piece of information is determined from the target volume image data; and the piece of information is displayed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for determining and displaying at least one piece of information about a target volume, in particular a target volume in a human body, wherein the information is obtained from an image data set; the invention also relates to a medical examination device. Background technique [0002] There are many imaging techniques known in the medical field, which record image data sets taking various parameters into account, from which specific information about the target volume is determined and displayed. [0003] Magnetic resonance perfusion imaging used to measure, for example, blood flow in a tissue region is one such example. In this method, a contrast agent is injected and the rate at which the agent enters and leaves the tissue is observed. Since the contrast agent is delivered with the blood, perfusion-related results can be obtained. This perfusion imaging is usually done at rest and under stress, and the results of th...
