    摘要: Magnetic resonance imaging of a body uses steady state free precession with material separation for the selective imaging of two species, such as blood or fat. The refocusing property of SSFP is used with signal phase detection to suppress either water or lipid. Phase and/or frequency of the RF excitation pulse and repetition time are selected so that resonant frequencies of water, fw, and lipid, fl, are on opposite sides of the signal null frequency.

    摘要: A steady-state condition for tipped nuclear spins is accelerated or catalyzed by first determining magnetization magnitude of the steady state and the scaling magnetization along one axis (Mz) to at least approximate the determined magnetization magnitude. Then the scaled magnetization is rotated to coincide with a real-valued eigenvector extension of the tipped steady-state magnetization. Any error vector will then decay to the steady-state condition without oscillation. In one embodiment, the magnetic resonance imaging utilizes steady-state free precession (SSFP). The scaling and rotating steps are followed by the steps of applying read-out magnetic gradients and detecting magnetic resonance signals from the tipped nuclear spins. The magnetization magnitude is determined by eigenvector analysis, and the eigenvector extension is a real-valued eigenvector determined in the analysis.
