Abstract:
In one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus configured to sequentially execute plural imaging sequences includes: processing circuitry configured to calculate a predicted value of Long MR Examination specific absorbed energy which is an accumulated SAR (Specific Absorption Ratio) value over the plural imaging sequences; and a display configured to display information on the predicted value with respect to a predetermined safety reference value of the Long MR Examination specific absorbed energy.

Claim (Index 1):
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system comprising:\n at least one MRI gantry configured to execute a patient examination including consecutive execution of combined plural MRI sequences, which MRI sequences each include application of radio frequency (RF) energy to the examined patient and which consecutive executions of combined MRI sequences can be interrupted and later resumed to complete an examination; at least one programmed processor coupled to at least one memory circuit and display device, said at least one processor being coupled to consecutively acquire from the at least one MRI gantry and store in memory an actual measured value of specific absorption energy (SAE) applied to a patient during an examination based on measured RF power applied to the patient as each consecutive sequence is executed; said at least one programmed processor being configured to: upon interruption and resumption of combined plural MRI sequences on a same patient, read from memory an SAE value which existed when examination of this particular patient was interrupted, calculate a relationship between a predetermined upper limit of SAE and the SAE read out from memory for this particular patient, and display the calculated relationship on the display device.
