Patent ID: 8064671

Claim:
An imaging apparatus to display an image acquired from an examination object, the apparatus comprising: an acquisition unit to determine image acquisition parameters and to acquire image signal values of the examination object; a conversion unit to, using a transfer function, convert the acquired image signal values into brightness values displayed in the image; a unit to extract the image acquisition parameters; and a storage unit to store at least one transfer function in relation to image acquisition parameters, the conversion unit being configured to compare the extracted image acquisition parameters with the image acquisition parameters stored in the storage unit and select the transfer function as a function of the comparison; wherein the imaging apparatus is a magnetic resonance installation, the unit to extract the image acquisition parameters is configured to extract at least one of the following image acquisition parameters: echo time, repetition time, field of view, inversion time, acquisition time, slice thickness, matrix size, and name of an imaging sequence, and the acquired image signal values are Fourier transformed image signal values.
