    摘要: In a method for non-selective excitation of nuclear spin signals in an examination subject with a magnetic resonance system, RF excitation pulses are radiated to excite nuclear spin signals in the examination subject with simultaneous switching of gradients for spatial coding of the excited nuclear spin signals, wherein the RF excitation pulses are designed such that the base frequency of a radiated RF excitation pulse is adapted to the simultaneously switched gradient. By the dynamic adaptation of the radiated RF excitation pulses to the respective simultaneously switched gradients, artifacts due to insufficiently excited nuclear spins in an examination region to be examined (in particular even in examination regions that are arranged off-center) are avoided.

    摘要: In a magnetic resonance method and system for automatic generation of a selective MR image from a first MR image (corresponding to raw data acquired at a first echo time after excitation pulses) and a second MR image (corresponding to raw data acquired at a second echo time after the same excitation pulses), for each image point of the MR images, a time constant is calculated for tissue to be imaged at the respective image point depending on the intensity values of the corresponding image points of the first and second MR images. The calculated time constant is compared with at least one threshold in order to associate a weighting factor with that image point. The selective MR image is generated by processing the intensity values of the image points of the first and/or second MR image with the associated weighting factors.

    摘要: In a method to create an image data set by operating a magnetic resonance system, at least two phase coding gradients are switched in respective spatial directions, an RF excitation pulse is radiated and a raw data point in a k-space data set belonging to the image data set is read out a predetermined time period after the radiation of the RF excitation pulse. The predetermined time period thereby corresponds to the maximum of a set of a respective minimum time period for each of the at least two phase coding gradients. The minimum time period of the respective at least one of the at least two phase coding gradients is determined depending on the strength of the respective phase coding gradient such that the Nyquist theorem is complied with.

    摘要: In a method and magnetic resonance apparatus for acquiring image data using a sequence in which k-space corresponding to the imaging area is scanned in a first region of k-space, which does not include the center of k-space, radially along spokes emanating from the center of k-space, with at least two phase coding gradients being completely ramped up before the excitation pulse, and in a second central region of k-space, which remains without the first region, in a Cartesian manner. For contrast increase, a pre-pulse is provided before a predetermined number of individual measurements. A portion of the measurement points of the second region of k-space, which portion is situated nearest the center of k-space, is scanned as central measurement points after the first administration of the pre-pulse immediately following a zero crossing of the contrast-relevant magnetization of one of at least two materials in the image.
