    摘要: The present invention relates to a MRI device (1) comprising: means (2) for applying a main magnetic field B0 on an axis Z over a sample zone (8); means (3) for emitting a magnetic field gradient and means (4) for emitting a radiofrequency pulse, and control means (5) arranged so as to control the means for emitting a magnetic field gradient and the means for emitting a radiofrequency pulse. The control means are programmed to carry out at least one set of repeated applications, on the sample zone, of a sequence comprising: a radiofrequency pulse possibly of variable amplitude and/or phase at each repetition; and after the radio frequency pulse, a spatial gradient of the component along the Z axis of the magnetic field. The control means are programmed so that, in the course of repeated applications of the radiofrequency pulse and of the magnetic field spatial gradient of the sequence of one and the same set: the radio frequency pulse follows, between its various repeated applications, a periodic series (preferably non-constant) for its amplitude and for a series

    摘要: A method of collecting magnetic resonance data for imaging an object with a predetermined spin density being arranged in a static magnetic field, comprises the steps subjecting said object to at least one radiofrequency pulse and magnetic field gradients for creating spatially encoded magnetic resonance signals, including at least two settings of spatially encoding phase-contrast gradients differently encoding the phase of said magnetic resonance signals in at least one field of view in a predetermined spatial dimension, acquiring at least two magnetic resonance signals, each with one of said at least two settings of different spatially encoding phase-contrast gradients, and determining at least one mean spin density position of said object along said spatial dimension by calculating the phase difference between said signals. Furthermore, a control device and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device implementing the method are described.

    摘要: In an imaging method, periodic maintenance radio frequency pulses (α, -α) are applied to maintain a steady state magnetic resonance excitation in an imaging region. Readout (66) of imaging data from the imaging region is performed during selected intervals between maintenance radio frequency pulses. A spatially selective blood signal suppression sequence (62, 62') is performed during selected other intervals between maintenance radio frequency pulses. The blood signal suppression sequence suppresses a blood signal in a suppression region different from the imaging region. The blood signal suppression sequence has substantially no zero the moment applied magnetic field gradient.

    摘要: In order to positively decrease the band artifact on the middle of image when the field ununiformity is relatively fair and Nex is small, the present invention provides a phase cycling method for use in SSFP pulse sequence of a gradient echo system for rolling back the phase shift of lateral magnetization developed in TR by the gradient field prior to the next RF excitation, by identifying the RF transmission phase developing the band artifact in the vicinity of zero amount of phase shift, namely the repetition of 0-0-0-0 (degrees) as unusable RF transmission phase to use a plurality of RF transmission phases other than the unusable RF transmission phase for the phase cycling.

    摘要: An apparatus and a method for producing a multi-pulse sequence for irradiating a substance provided with quadrupole nuclei with either integer or half-integer spins to detect an NQR signal emitted therefrom. The apparatus has pulse sequence generating means adapted to produce a combination of two or more pulse sequences, arranged so that a definite regularity of the phase alteration of pulses in each of the pulse sequences occurs that is equivalent to a shift of spectral components of the pulse sequences in relation to each other. Furthermore, in at least one of the pulse sequences, there are not less than two phases alternating. A preparatory pulse may be included in one of the pulse sequences to reduce the effect of temperature, increase the intensity of the NQR signal and simultaneously eliminate intensity anomalies. Alternatively, the combination of pulse sequences may be different from a combination of PAPS and NPAPS, and none of the pulse sequences contain a preparatory pulse.
