摘要:
Techniques and systems for magnetic resonance imaging are disclosed in this specification. In one aspect, imaging of tissues having short transverse relaxation times T2 is described including short echo time (TE) signal acquisition preceded by suppression of signal from the surrounding tissues having long transverse relaxation times T2, to increase the contrast and dynamic range of magnetic resonance (MR) images contributed by the tissues having short T2.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are described. In one example, the method includes applying a sample-selective magnetic field gradient sequence along a slice direction to partition responses from a sample under magnetic resonance imaging into a plurality of different regions of slices in the k space, applying spiral readout gradients to the sample to obtain echo data from the sample, and applying a Time Resolved Imaging of Contrast Kinetics imaging technique to sample the different regions of slices in the k space.

Methods, systems and computer program products of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using ultra short echo times and spiral sampling in k-space are disclosed. A long inversion radio frequency (RF) pulse that inverts magnetization of long T2 components are applied to a sample that exhibits long transverse relaxation time (T2) components and short T2 components to minimize signals corresponding to the long T2 components. In addition, half RF excitation pulses are applied to the sample to select one or more echo times. Data corresponding to the selected one or more echo times are acquired using a spiral trajectory, and a first echo image is obtained based on the acquired data.
摘要:
A magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) is acquired using a contrast enhancement method in which a series of low resolution NMR images are rapidly acquired during a time resolved phase of the examination in which the contrast bolus makes a first pass through the arteries and veins. Additional, high spatial resolution NMR image data is acquired in a subsequent steady-state phase of the examination. The low resolution NMR image is segmented and masked to depict only arteries, and the central k-space region of this data is combined with the peripheral k-space data portion of the high resolution NMR data to produce one or more images.

The present invention discloses a method and system for tallying tags in a radio frequency identification system. The method comprises: upon receiving a tallying command sent by the reader, the tags reflecting a first response message used for decoding and checking (S402); upon receiving the first response message, the reader sending a decoded random number (RN) if it decodes the first response message correctly; upon receiving the decoded RN, the tags reflecting a second response message containing tag ID information after confirming that the RN is consistent with their own RN (S405); and upon receiving the second response message, the reader confirming that the tallying is completed if the tag ID information contained in the second response message is correct (S407).

The techniques and systems described in this application can be used to, in one implementation, optimize data acquisition including sampling trajectories and undersampling factors. A method performed by a nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system comprises applying a gradient and a radio frequency pulse sequence to an imaging target to partition a three-dimensional (3D) Cartesian k-space into a plurality of half projections in a ky-kz plane, the plurality of half projections divided into a plurality of interleaves, each interleave comprising one or more of the half projections and providing an asymmetric radial sampling of the ky-kz plane. Magnetic resonance signals are acquired to sample phase and slice encodings along each of the plurality of half projections. The magnetic resonance signal is processed to reconstruct at least one dynamic frame of the imaging subject to provide 3D volumetric imaging of contrast dynamics.
摘要:
Radio frequency (rf) pulses are applied to a sample to produce magnetic resonance (MR) echo signals from the sample at multiple different echo times. Magnetic field gradients are applied to the sample to select for acquisition components of each MR echo signal. The selected components correspond to groups of radial projections in k-space. Each group is associated with one of the echo times. Each group defines a different set of projection angles in the k-space, and the groups are interleaved to reduce streak artifacts in spectroscopic images associated with a resonance frequency. Images of the sample are generated based on acquired MR signals. In some implementations, an echo time of eight microseconds or less is included in the multiple different echo times.
