摘要:
Methods for imaging stationary targets, including thrombi, are disclosed. The methods allow the imaging of stationary targets in areas of the body subject to physiologic motion.
摘要:
This invention relates to methods and apparatus for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of moving parts of a patient in which flip angles for the excitation of nuclear magnetization are adaptively selected during image data acquisition in order to minimize artifacts. In particular, the flip angles are selected so that a smooth distribution of signal-strengths in k-space results even though the order of phase-encoding gradients is also adaptively selected in dependence of the measured instantaneous state of motion of the moving part. The invention also includes MR apparatus for practicing the described methods and software for controlling an MR apparatus to practice the methods.
