    摘要: The invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system comprising an examination volume (9), a main magnet system (17) for generating a main magnetic field (Bo) in the examination volume, a gradient magnet system (25) for generating gradients of the main magnetic field, and a control system (37) for compensating disturbances of the magnetic field caused by mechanical vibrations of the MRI system. According to the invention, the control system is a feed-forward control system which determines a necessary compensation for said disturbances in dependence on an electric current in the gradient magnet system according to a predetermined response relation. Since in most MRI systems the mechanical vibrations are predominantly caused by the altering electric currents in the gradient magnet system and by eddy currents induced thereby, the invention provides an accurate and reliable compensation for said disturbances, so that artifacts and other distortions of the reconstructed image caused by said disturbances are considerably reduced.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging system comprises reconstruction unit that is arranged to reconstruct a complex image of complex valued pixels from magnetic resonance signals. A compute a distribution of phase values of the complex image and to apply a phase correction to the complex image to form a corrected magnetic resonance image. The phase correction is controlled on the basis of the distribution of phase values of the complex image. Notably, the histogram power function is an effective indicator of the accuracy of the phase correction.
