摘要:
An imaging system (5) includes a plurality of coil channel receivers (26) and one or more processors or modules (38). The plurality of coil channel receivers (26) demodulate magnetic resonance data from a multi-channel coil (10) which includes a plurality of coil elements (16) spatially separated, each element transmitting magnetic resonance data on a corresponding channel (25). The one or more processors or modules (38) are configured to detect (26) artifacts in the magnetic resonance data on each channel individually. The one or more processors or modules (38) are further configured to select (27) the magnetic resonance data from the channels which include detected artifacts at or below a threshold artifact level and reconstruct (32) one or more images using the selected magnetic resonance data.

The invention relates to a method of MR imaging of a body (10) placed in the examination volume of a MR device (1). It is an object of the invention to provide a method that enables efficient compensation of flow artefacts, especially for contrast-enhanced MR angiography in combination with Dixon water/fat separation. The method of the invention comprises the steps of: a) generating at least two gradient echo signals at two different echo times by subjecting the portion of the body (10) to an imaging sequence of RF pulses and switched magnetic field gradients, wherein the 0th moment of the readout magnetic field gradient essentially vanishes at the time of the first gradient echo, the 1st moment of the readout gradient being non-zero at the time of the first gradient echo, while both the 0th and 1st moments of the readout magnetic field gradient essentially vanish at the time of the second gradient echo; b) acquiring the gradient echo signals; c) repeating steps a) and b) for a plurality of phase encoding steps. Moreover, the invention relates to a MR device for carrying out the method of the invention and to a computer program to be run on a MR device; d) reconstructing a first MR image from the gradient echo signals of the first gradient echo and a second MR image from the gradient echo signals of the second gradient echo; and e) identifying ghosting artefacts in the first and/or second MR image by comparing the first and second MR images.
摘要:
A method of reconstructing an MRI or ultrasound biomedical image, based on compressed sensing and comprising the steps of acquiring several sets of image data from said generated signals, each data set being acquired in a different undersampling scheme and/or a different acquisition mode such as to make expected and unavoidable artifacts incoherent. Each of the acquired image data set is multiplied by a correction matrix Δ, which is calculated from a mathematical model of expected artifacts according to prior knowledge, for adjusting fidelity of the reconstructed image to the corrected acquired image data. For each iteration of said nonlinear iterative algorithm the data sets are processed to generate a combination image which will therefore be faithful to the acquired data but not to the incoherent artifacts.

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Magnetresonanztomographie-Verfahren, wobei nach einer Grundanregung und einer Serie von Hochfrequenz-Refokussierungspulsen nach dem Spin-Echo Prinzip zwei Echogruppen entstehen, wobei beide Echogruppen unabhängig voneinander phasenkodiert werden, und wobei die Rekonstruktion für beide Echogruppen unabhängig voneinander erfolgt.
摘要:
Magnet resonance apparatus comprising an MR magnetic system for generating a homogeneous magnetic field, which has a hole for accommodating a measurement object (28), and also comprising an optical motion monitor system for detecting movements of the measurement object, comprising an optical camera (27) arranged within the hole and having a camera lens (20) and a device for transmitting monitoring data to an image converter provided outside the MR magnetic system, is characterized in that the camera lens comprises an autofocus system composed of non-magnetic material, and in that the autofocus system neither absorbs nor reflects nor emits RF fields. A camera lens for an MR apparatus is thus available which is arranged within the hole in the MR magnetic system, does not adversely influence the MR measurement and has a high optical resolution despite a large sharpness range.
