摘要:
A reconstructed image is rendered of a patient by a processor from a set of undersampled MRI data by first subtracting two repetitions of the acquired data in k-space to create a third dataset. The processor reconstructs the image by minimizing an objective function under a constraint related to the third dataset, wherein the objective function includes applying a Karhunen-Loeve Transform (KLT) to a temporal dimension of data. The objective function under the constraint is expressed as arg minf{∥φ(f)∥1 subject to ∥Af−y∥2≦ε}. The reconstructed image is an angiogram which may be a 4D angiogram. The angiogram is used to diagnose a vascular disease.

摘要:
In a method and apparatus for time-resolved acquisition of magnetic resonance (MR) data, an examination subject is continuously moved through the examination region of an MR scanner, and MR signals are acquired. Prior to the acquisition of MR signals, a phase coding that corresponds to a position for data entry in k-space is carried out. An interruption of the movement of the subject takes place at a predetermined table position, and the acquisition of MR signals is continued over the course of a predetermined time period, while the subject is at rest in the predetermined position. At least while the subject is at rest, the phase coding causes acquisition of a predetermined number of MR signals for filling a first region of k-space to alternate with MR data and a predetermined number of MR signals for filling a second region of k-space.

摘要:
A system for Non-Contrast Agent enhanced MR imaging includes an MR image acquisition device for acquiring imaging datasets comprising one or more image slabs individually comprising multiple image slices. An image data processor processes data representing an acquired image slice to detect a predetermined anatomical feature of a patient by detecting an edge of the anatomical feature in response to detection of pixel luminance transitions. A patient support table controller automatically moves a patient table at a velocity adaptively and dynamically determined by, selecting data modifying table velocity from predetermined information associating an anatomical feature with table velocity modification data in response to detection of the anatomical feature and adaptively determining a table velocity using the modification data.
