    摘要: It is an aspect of the present disclosure to provide an MRI apparatus configured to and a method to acquire a sectional image of an object and implement a reduced Field of View (FOV) from which aliasing is removed by using a saturation pulse sequence that suppresses a magnetic resonance (MR) signal at a given position, and a method of controlling the same. An MRI apparatus may include: a sequence controller controlling a scanner to apply an unsaturation pulse sequence and a saturation pulse sequence to the object; and a data processor configured to acquire a first image by receiving an MR signal from the object to which the unsaturation pulse sequence is applied, acquire a second image by receiving an MR signal from the object to which the saturation pulse sequence is applied, and generate a difference image between the first image and the second image.

    摘要: In imaging using 2-dimensional selective excitation pulses, regardless of applications thereof, a technique for obtaining a high quality image is provided.
    In the technique, a 2-dimensional selective excitation sequence is carried out while changing a coefficient for determining the cylinder diameter of a region excited by the 2-dimensional selective excitation sequence and a time difference for determining an offset position.
    The obtained excitation region and a desired region are compared with each other, and the coefficient and time difference with which the obtained excitation region and the desired region match each other are determined to be the optimum ones.
    The determination processing may be performed as an initial adjustment, may be performed according to need in each imaging, or may be performed on a per-application basis.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for Magnetic Resonance Imaging using specialized signal acquisition and processing techniques for image reconstruction with a generally inhomogeneous static magnetic field. New signal processing methods for image reconstruction and for minimizing dephasing effects are disclosed. Imaging systems with smaller static magnetic field strengths and smaller hardware demands than those with homogeneous static magnetic fields are provided, leading to significant reductions in system size and cost as compared to standard MRI systems. Such systems can also exploit imaging coils having high Signal-to-Noise- Ratio (SNR), including those made from Carbon nanotube conductors, leading to further imaging system efficiencies.
