    摘要: An MRI apparatus suitable for realizing selective excitation utilizing multiple RF transmitting coils (parallel transmission) is provided. This MRI apparatus is provided with, as an RF receiving coil or RF transmitting coil, an RF transmitting coil 104 comprising a loop coil 210, primary differential coil 220 and secondary differential coil 230 having a common central axis 201. Upon imaging, the coils 210, 220 and 230 constituting the RF transmitting coil 104 are simultaneously driven by RF signals with the same phase, and only the differential coils 220 and 230 are driven in the second half of irradiation time with phases different by 180° from the phases for the first half. Alternatively, two times of measurements are performed as a pair, in which, in the first measurement, the coils 210, 220 and 230 are simultaneously driven with RF signals of the same phase, then in the second measurement, only the differential coils 220 and 230 are driven with phases inverse to the phases for the first measurement, and the signals measured respectively are added. Such imaging or addition of the results of two times of the measurement provides a profile for exciting a local region. This enables selective excitation of only a desired region without using any RF pulse for signal suppression.

    摘要: A first pulse sequence is executed on an imaging portion of an object to be examined using a multiple receiving coils including a plurality of receiving coils to obtain sensitivity images 701 to 703, each of n in number, which is smaller than the number of examination image. When those sensitivity images are calculated, NMR signals are measured only in a low-frequency region of a k space. Next, a second pulse sequence is executed while phase encoding steps are thinned out to acquire examination images 704 and 705, each of m in number (m>n), of the object with each receiving coil. When sensitivity distributions 707 and 708 are generated on the basis of sensitivity images 701 to 703, if a sensitivity distribution on a slice corresponding to examination images 704 and 705 is not yet measured, it is calculated with a slice interpolation processing on the basis of sensitivity distributions 701 to 703, and an aliasing artifact in examination images 704 and 705 are removed using sensitivity distributions 707 and 708 with a matrix calculation.

    摘要: An MRI apparatus is provided for obtaining an image of a wide area using a multiple-coil, where a plural number of small receiving coils are arranged such that adjacent coils overlap spatially. An image is picked up while thinning a part of the measured data, such that the low spatial frequency region of the k space is dense and the high spatial frequency region thereof is sparse. The substantial sensitivity distribution of each small receiving coil is determined using data related to the low spatial frequency region, and an image is composed using the sensitivity distribution and the measured data to produce a high resolution image having no aliasing artifact in a short time.
