    摘要: When distinguishing between fat and water in acquired MR data, a modified Dixon technique includes acquiring first and second signals Ii and I2, calculating the first and second components B and S of the signals Iχ and I2, where one of the first and second components corresponds to fat and the other corresponds to water, deriving two differential phase error candidates from them, and selecting a phase error candidate based on the assumption of smoothness of the disturbing field inhomogeneity. The exact determination of the absolute values of the water and fat components is then made by solving three signal equations for two variables that respectively correspond to water and fat, and is performed using for example a least square minimization with a Newton method.

    摘要: MR method for generating MR images of an object to be examined located inside an examination volume by means of an MR device and for simultaneously locating an interventional instrument inserted into the examination object, which instrument is equipped with a locating device. For the reconstruction of an MR image (20) MR signals together with device-delivered location signals from the examination volume are then recorded, after which the locating of the instrument takes place by the assessment of the image characteristics conditioned by the location signals. For making it possible to determine the position of the interventional instrument in an extremely rapid way, the invention proposes that the recording of the MR signals be effected by recording successively a plurality of MR partial data records (16, 17, 18) with respective incomplete and preferably non-cartesian sampling of the local frequency spectrum assigned to the examination volume. Two locating data records (21, 22) each are extracted from each of the MR partial data records (16, 17, 18). The actual locating of the instrument then takes place in that a difference image (33) is reconstructed from the two locating data records (21, 22).

    摘要: At least two chemical species are imaged using magnetic resonance imaging with signal separation for two chemical species resulting in separate signal datasets for these two chemical species. First and second echo data are acquired at different echo times resulting in a first and second acquired complex dataset. The first and second acquired datasets are modelled by employing a spectral signal model of at least one of the chemical species. The modelling results in a first and second modelled complex dataset. The first and second modelled datasets include a first and second phase error and the separate signal datasets for the two chemical species. From the first and second acquired dataset and the first and second modelled dataset the separate signal datasets for the two chemical species are determined.

    摘要: An MR image (14) is reconstructed from MR signals (1, 2, 3, 4) that are acquired in parallel by a plurality of receiving coils (5, 6, 7, 8) with incomplete sampling of the spatial frequency space. The reconstructed MR image (14) is calculated iteratively as the solution of a system of linear equations. To provide a more highly developed method for parallel SENSE imaging, an iteration process (15) begins with a starting image (9) which approximates to the MR image to be reconstructed (14), in such a way that undersampling artifacts are suppressed in the intermediate solutions of the system of equations that are obtained during the course of the iteration process.
