    摘要: The invention relates to an MR method for the quantitative determination of local relaxation time values in an examination volume. Firstly, a plurality of echo signals (1, 2, 3) with different echo time values (t1, t2, t3) are recorded in a phase-sensitive manner. From these echo signals (1, 2, 3), complex MR images (4, 5, 6) are then reconstructed for the different echo time values (t1, t2, t3). Next, local resonant frequency values (7) are calculated for each image point from the echo-time-dependent change in the phases of the complex image values, and then preliminary local magnetic field inhomogeneity values (8) are calculated from the local resonant frequency values (7). The invention proposes that the local relaxation time values (10) be determined from the echo-time-dependent change in the amplitudes of the image values and correction of the local relaxation time values (10) be carried out taking account of final local magnetic field inhomogeneity values. The preliminary magnetic field inhomogeneity values (8) are used as start values for an iterative optimization procedure (19) for determining the final local magnetic field inhomogeneity values.

    摘要: An MR method and apparatus determines spatially resolved relaxation parameters of a subject in an examination zone, voxel by voxel. A first MR scan sequence is applied to generate a series of first MR data sets having different echo times. A second MR scan sequence is applied to generate at least one further MR data set having an enhanced spatial resolution and reduced time resolution in comparison with the first MR data sets from the first sequence. MR combination images are generated using the first MR data sets derived from the first sequence for a portion within the k-space and the further MR data set acquired outside this portion by the second sequence. The relaxation parameters are determined from the MR combination images.

    摘要: The invention relates to an MR method of determining local relaxation time values (T1, T2) of an examination object (5). Firstly, two or more MR images (3, 4) of the examination object (5) are recorded, each with different time parameter sets (TR1, TE1, TR2, TE2) of an imaging sequence. MR images (6, 7) of a phantom are likewise recorded, wherein the same time parameter sets (TR1, TE1, TR2, TE2) of the imaging sequence are used and wherein the phantom has a known spatial distribution of relaxation time values (T1, T2). The local relaxation time values (T1, T2) of the examination object (5) are determined by comparing image values of the MR images (3, 4) of the examination object (5) with image values of the MR images (6, 7) of the phantom and by assigning image values of the MR images of the phantom to relaxation time values (T1, T2) according to the known spatial distribution of relaxation time values (T1, T2) of the phantom.
