Method and magnetic resonance tomography apparatus for graphic planning of angiographic exposures using a contrast agent
First Claim
1. A processing device for a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus in which a test bolus measurement is conducted for a subsequent angiographic measurement using a contrast agent, said processing device comprising:
- a processor for determining a time curve for arterial contrast agent concentration from said test bolus measurement; and
a display connected to and operated by said processor for displaying an interactive graphic user interface comprising a test bolus popup containing said time curve of said arterial contrast agent concentration, for time planning of said subsequent angiographic measurement.

Abstract
In a method and processing device for a magnetic resonance tomography apparatus, with which a test bolus measurement is conducted for a subsequent angiography measurement using contrast agent, a test bolus pop-up is displayed in an interactive graphic user interface, and a time curve of at least the arterial contrast agent concentration is automatically determined from the test bolus measurement and presented in the test bolus pop-up, for time planning of the subsequent angiography measurement.
