摘要： Acquisition of magnetic resonance (MR) data in a predetermined three-dimensional volume segment of an examination subject with an MR apparatus proceeds by the volume segment being excited with an RF excitation pulse, and repeated, temporally sequential implementation of the following in order to respectively read out an echo train: Switch a refocusing pulse. Switch a first phase coding gradient in a first direction and a second phase coding gradient in a second direction. Switch an additional magnetic field gradient for spatial coding in a third direction which is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, wherein the MR data of a k-space line are read out while the additional magnetic field gradient is switched. Every k-space line corresponds to a line of k-space that corresponds to the volume segment. At least one k-space line is read out repeatedly in a middle segment of k-space.

摘要： In a method and device for correcting distortion in MRI, k-space data are acquired in a number of data readout directions, the data are converted into a number of images, and a corresponding pixel shift map is generated for each image. The geometric distortion in the corresponding image is corrected according to the pixel shift map, and then all geometric distortion-corrected images are combined. Since movement distortion normally exists in the data readout direction, collecting the k-space data from a number of data readout directions can effectively correct movement distortion. Moreover, correcting the geometric distortion for the images converted from data acquired in a number of data readout directions according to the pixel shift map can reduce the geometric distortion of the final image generated from combination of images. The method and device correct not only movement distortion of MRI images, but also geometric distortion of MRI images.
