摘要:
A method for acquiring 3D multispectral MRI of a target includes scanning a spectrum of spectral windows with an MRI scanner, wherein each spectral window of the spectrum defines a continuously-differentiable distribution of frequencies around a scan frequency and adjacent scan frequencies are spaced apart by substantially uniform frequency offsets such that adjacent spectral windows substantially uniformly overlap, wherein selected adjacent spectral windows are scanned in consecutive passes, and nearest neighbor spectral windows within each pass are scanned at a maximum temporal spacing within the pass.
摘要:
In an embodiment, a method includes performing a magnetic resonance (MR) data acquisition sequence including the acquisition of a plurality of blades of k-space data rotated about a section of k-space. The k-space data is representative of gyromagnetic material within a subject of interest, and each blade includes a plurality of encode lines defining a width of the respective blade. The acquisition of each blade includes receiving MR signal from echoes in two or more separate echo trains to fill at least a portion of the plurality of encode lines, and the echo trains are separated by an excitation pulse.

摘要:
A method of selecting a portion of k-space data for acquisition in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a body, the body having a target therein. The method includes defining the target in real space, translating the defined target into a k-space representation thereof and selecting the region corresponding to the k-space representation of the target for data acquisition during the MRI scan, wherein the MRI scan is substantially limited to acquisition of the selected region. In addition, this method may include the target having an orientation relative to the principal axis of the MRI scan and the target defining step includes defining the target in terms of target length “LR”, target width “WR”, and target angular orientation “θR” relative to the MRI scan principal axis and the translating step may include converting LR, WR, and θR to their k-space representations LK, WK, and θK.
