    摘要: T*.sub.2 contrast in images reconstructed from fast NMR pulse sequences is improved by increasing the gradient recalled echo time TE. The pulse repetition time TR is minimized to maintain high temporal resolution by asymmetrically acquiring the echo signal with its peak disposed bear the end of the acquisition window.

    摘要: A steady-state free precession fast NMR pulse sequence includes a readout gradient waveform which refocuses the transverse magnetization to produce an S- NMR signal during the subsequent pulse sequence. This readout gradient waveform is shaped to null the gradient first moment and to thereby suppress flow and motion artifacts. In an alternative embodiment, crusher pulses employed in the phase encoding or slice select gradients are also flow compensated.

    摘要: A method for prescribing a scan on an MRI system includes selecting a general pulse sequence to be used during a time-resolved imaging process of a subject using an MRI system. The method also includes setting a first set of scan parameters to more specifically prescribe the general pulse sequence and setting a second set of scan parameters using a formula that relates time resolution and spatial resolution resulting from the first set of scan parameters. The method then includes performing the time-resolved imaging process using the general pulse sequence, the first set of scan parameters, and the second set of scan parameters.

    摘要: An MRI system acquires MRA data from two overlapping thin slabs using a 3DTOF pulse sequence. Motion artifacts are reduced by using a reverse centric phase encode order during the first thin slab acquisition and a centric phase encode order during the second thin slab acquisition. Patient movement is reduced by producing a uniform sound with gradient pulse sequences during the interval between thin slab acquisitions and during a preparation period prior to the first thin slab acquisition.

    摘要: A system and method is disclosed to combine both a fractional echo (k.sub.x) and a fractional NEX (k.sub.y) to reduce acquisition times and echo times in MR imaging. The method uses both zero-filling and homodyne reconstruction to construct concurrent fractional NEX and fractional echo data in a single image while minimizing any blurring effects. The system includes acquiring partial MRI data in the k.sub.x direction and acquiring partial MRI data in the k.sub.y direction. Once a partial echo and a partial NEX are acquired, the missing data is first zero-filled in the k.sub.x direction and Fourier transformed to acquire a full x direction data set. Next, the data is synthesized in the k.sub.y direction using a homodyne reconstruction technique to acquire a full data set in the k.sub.y direction. The full x,y data set can then be used to reconstruct an MR image with reduced acquisition and echo times. In order to minimize the effects of blurring in the resulting MR image, it is preferable to acquire at least an 80% fractional echo and a 60% fractional NEX. The system can be extended to any number of desirable dimensions.
