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.

In a signal detecting circuit of, for example, an NMR apparatus, a signal transmission path transmits an AC magnetic flux signal to be superposed on a DC magnetic field whose strength does not change with time during a period of signal detection. The signal transmission path comprises a superconducting closed loop including a receiving coil receiving the AC magnetic flux signal, an input coil applying the received AC magnetic flux signal as an input to a flux meter, and a variable resistor replacing part of the superconducting closed loop and having its resistance value changed in relation to a change in the strength of the DC magnetic field.

Analysis of electromagnetics for an antenna analyzes a current on a conductor having a junction between a linear conductor and a planar conductor relying upon a moment method. A planar dipole segment 9 includes a planar monopole 91-2 in which the current flows in the same direction as the current flowing through part of a quadrangle 41-2-4 of a radial segment 41, and a planar monopole 91-1 in which the current flows in the same direction as the current flowing in a planar monopole 35-1 of a planar dipole segment 35. In the vicinity of the junction between the linear conductor and the planar conductor, currents are expressed that flow through the vicinity of the junction where three segments consisting of a radial segment and two planar dipole segments are overlapped one upon the other.
