    摘要: A high-speed magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging method for obtaining information relating to an object placed in a space by irradiating the object placed in the space applied with a static magnetic field and field gradients in three different directions so as to excite a nuclear spin in the object. At least one of the field gradients is applied while inverting a sign thereof periodically and a magnetic resonance signal generated by excitation of the nuclear spin is measured. A Fourier transform is applied to the measured magnetic resonance signal thereby to obtain a chemical shift image and a measurement spectral bandwidth is set to a value not larger than a frequency difference between two different chemical shifts having frequencies remotest from each other among a plurality of chemical shifts intended to be measured, the measurement spectral bandwidth being determined by a reciprocal of an inversion period of the field gradient which is applied while inverting a sign thereof periodically. The method enables setting of spatial resolution and spectral bandwidth independently.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging method for obtaining an image of an object laid in a space in which a static magnetic field is applied, so as to substantially eliminate motional artifacts. The method includes sequentially measuring a plurality of magnetic resonance views with a plurality of encodings by repeating a measurement sequence of exciting nuclear spins in said object, applying a phase-encoding field gradient along a first direction with programmed time integral to encode the excited spins, and detecting the encoded spins in the presence of a readout field gradient along a second direction to generate a magnetic resonance view so that measurements of magnetic resonance views with at least low-order encoding are obtained during the repetition of the measurement sequence. Thereafter respective magnetic resonance views are subjected to a first Fourier transformation so as to generate a plurality of projection views with a plurality of encodings forming a data matrix in a hybrid domain, displacements in respective projection views due to motion of the object are corrected using displacement information obtained from projection views with low-order encodings so as to generate a corrected data matrix in the hybrid domain, and the corrected data matrix is subjected to a second Fourier transformation so as to generate the image of the object.

    摘要: In an imaging apparatus using the nuclear magnetic resonance, a solenoid coil and a slot-resonator coil are combined with each other so as to constitute a quadrature-phase detection probe. In order to operate the slot-resonator coil at low frequency, inductance is added to the slot-resonator coil. Further in order to cut the coupling between a transmitting coil and a receiving coil in a cross coil system, a capacitor together with the added inductance to form a resonant circuit is connected in parallel to the inductance. A favorable probe can be obtained in a vertical-magnetic field type imaging apparatus.

    摘要: An NMR imaging method for obtaining a tomographic image of an object through two-dimensional Fourier transformation imaging. After a whole image of a predetermined slice is displayed, a given field of view having a given size and located at a given position in the image is designated. On the basis of data derived from this designation, setting values for magnetic field generators and a signal detector are arithmetically determined for limiting the region in which the NMR signal is generated and the region to be imaged, whereby local imaging of the aforementioned field of view is conducted with high resolution. Further, division of an image resulting from the imaging operation is automatically corrected by exchanging positionally the divided image blocks with each other.
