    摘要: In a method to determine an inversion time value for contrast improvement between different tissue in a contrast agent-supported magnetic resonance imaging, a series of magnetic resonance images of an imaging area is acquired using an inversion recovery sequence with different inversion times. A structure in the magnetic resonance images is segmented and a time response of the signal intensity of image elements corresponding to one another in the magnetic resonance images of the segmented structure is automatically determined. Minima of the signal intensity in the segmented structure are determined automatically and associated with the associated inversion time values. The optimal inversion time value for contrast improvement is automatically determined from the inversion time values that have been associated with the minima of the signal intensity in the segmented structure.

      摘要: The present invention relates generally to nuclear magnetic resonance tomography (synonym: magnetic resonance tomography—MRT) as used in medical applications for examining patients; it relates in particular to a calibrating method when there is FOV displacement within a plane through angle-dependent modulating of the phase of the Fourier DC point of the respective read-out direction in MRT imaging for determining the device-specific dependency of the time delay requiring to be compensated between the reference signal effecting modulation and the read-out measuring data points of the respective read-out direction of settable measurement parameters.

      摘要: An NMR measurement apparatus is potentially subject to relative motion between the apparatus and a sample. The measurement apparatus includes at least one magnet, at least one coil and circuitry that is coupled to the magnet(s) and coil(s). The circuitry is adapted to use the magnet(s) and coil(s) to perform at least one NMR measurement and indicate the results of the NMR measurement(s). The results are then analyzed to determine an effect of the motion on the measurement(s).

      摘要: In a method and apparatus to reduce movement artifacts in magnetic resonance images an essentially unmoving area of a region to be imaged is located in a region of high sensitivity of a first group of individual local antennas, and a moving area is located in the region of high sensitivity of a second group of local antennas. Spatially coded magnetic resonance signals are received by a first group of the local antennas and are individually processed further. Spatially coded nuclear magnetic resonance signals are received by the second group of local antennas and are combined with a weighting, using weighting factors. The weighting factors are determined so as to reduce gradient of the weighted, combined, spatially dependent sensitivity of the local antennas of the second group.

      摘要: A set of image-space data is reconstructed from a set of k-space data. The set of image-space data is generated by minimizing a cost functional by an iterative non-linear conjugate gradient process. The iterative process may be accelerated by introducing k-space weighting to the cost functional. With proper choice of k-space weighting, a block-Toeplitz matrix is generated which permits use of Fast Fourier Transform techniques. An image is rendered from the set of image-space data.

      摘要: In a method for imaging a periodically-moving subject region of a subject, an overview image data set is initially obtained that maps a movement of the subject region, at least two positions that the subject region assumes at corresponding points in time are marked in the overview image, further positions of the subject region at further points in time are interpolated from the marked positions and further points in time, and a subsequent diagnostic imaging of the moving subject region is implemented using the marked and interpolated positions.
