Abstract

Process for improved administration and evaluation of MR cardiac measurement recordings, whereby cardiac recordings series are created for each slice, to which information on the respective slice level is assigned, each image series being provided with an identification label for a suspicious finding which appears conspicuous and which provides subsequent direct access on the recordings of the corresponding layer level.

Description

procedures for improved administration and evaluation of MR cardiac recordings

The invention relates to a Procedures for improved management and evaluation of MR cardiac measurements, taking series for one layer each is created, to which information on the respective Layer level are assigned.

When recording the image series for MR cardiac measurements the doctor often finds that on a certain series, i.e. in a certain layer level, a certain initial suspicion is emerging, for example that the heart muscle contracts poorly here, suggesting a possible one Infarct area indicates. For the particular shift position in which the doctor diagnosed the anatomical defect wanted to see for example, he also has one Perform perfusion measurement. To do this, he then has to enter the various image series into the GSP (Graphical Slice Positioning) until he has the series with the desired one Shift position takes place in which he has determined the defect. A Immediate measurement is therefore not possible, since the Heart recordings need to be stopped the slice recordings in the other slice planes must also be carried out.

This download and search after the level with the recognized initial suspicion is tedious and time-consuming.

The invention is therefore the object based on a process for improved unfolding and evaluation such MR cardiac recordings to make that more accessible to such recognized layer levels enable with an initial suspicion.

To achieve this object, the invention provides that each image series has a label when it is created for one striking suspicious findings appearing, which is a later direct access on the recordings of the corresponding layer level.

This labeling is preferably carried out the exposure series of the corresponding layer level in such a way that the individual heart series with an overview of the recorded image series providing Postage Stamp, and each Postage Stamps of these series are labeled with the label.

Other advantages, features and details of Invention result from the following description of a embodiment as well as from the drawing, the postage stamps of series of different Shows layers, whereby in one of these layers a suspicious finding, namely a poor contraction of the heart muscle is found and through appropriate labels was displayed.

The shown in the drawings Postage stamps, each to a whole series of pictures belong to the same heart level and an overview of the Provided series of pictures are taken during the creation of the pictures already examined by the doctor, he in the illustrated embodiment in the penultimate series recognized that the heart muscle is bad contracted. For this reason, he adds the postage stamp to it Series of pictures with a label, in the embodiment shown with the note "Akinetic". If after completion of the entire recording series the doctor now has additional examinations, for example a perfusion measurement in the corresponding previously recognized and marked with "Akinetic" Execute shift level would like to, all he needs to do is drag and drop onto this postage stamp with the label Akinetic and pull it out, where with the pulling out automatically in any way with the Linked recordings, for example, the layer position also printed thereon is also displayed. The doctor can then immediately give this information about the shift position for the follow-up examinations pull in at the appropriate point.

Claims (3)

Method for improved management and evaluation of MR cardiac measurement recordings, cardiac recording series being created for each slice, to which information on the respective slice level is assigned, characterized in that each image series is provided with an identification label for a suspicious finding that appears conspicuous when it is created enables later direct access to the recordings of the corresponding layer level. A method according to claim 1, characterized in that the individual heart series with an overview of the recorded image series offering postage stamp and that each postage Stamps can be labeled with the label. A method according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that that details of the shift level are immediately with the postage Stamps connected, preferably printed on them.
