    摘要: A dynamic MRA study of a subject is performed using a 3D fast gradient-recalled echo pulse sequence. The frame rate of the resulting series of reconstructed images is increased by sampling a central region of k-space at a higher rate than the peripheral regions of k-space. Artifacts caused by variations in signal strength as the contrast agent enters the region of interest are reduced by renormalizing the acquired data. 2D image frames are reconstructed using planes passing near the center of k-space to enable the operator to select which 3D data sets should be used to reconstruct diagnostic images.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance angiogram is produced by projecting a 3D array of motion sensitized NMR data. A mask which locates the vessels in the 3D array is produced by thresholding the NMR data, and this mask is combined with the 3D NMR data set to exclude signals produced by surrounding stationary tissues. An integration projection technique is used to produce the angiogram from the masked data set.

    摘要: An NMR angiogram is produced using a line scan data acquisition. Each line of NMR data is acquired twice, once with a velocity sensitizing gradient having a positive first moment and once with a velocity sensitizing gradient having a negative first moment. The two signals from the acquisition are subtracted to cancel signals from stationary spins while enhancing signals from flowing spins. The magnitude of the velocity sensitizing gradient moment is changed during the cardiac cycle so that aliasing does not occur at high blood velocities and the signal strength does not drop too low at low blood velocities. An angiogram is produced by reconstructing an image from line scan data acquired from a series of slices.

    摘要: Mask projection views are obtained prior to the arrival of a contrast agent during a dynamic contrast enhanced MRA study. After the arrival of the contrast agent, a set of undersampled contrast enhanced projection views are obtained for each of a plurality of time frames. Corresponding mask projection views are subtracted from the contrast enhanced projection views to provide sparse contrast enhanced projection view sets. A phase contrast scan of a region of interest is performed prior to or after the arrival of the contrast agent. The phase contrast image is used as a composite image in a HYPR reconstruction of the sparse projection view sets to produce first pass contrast enhanced images. Iterative HYPR reconstructions can also be performed to remove venous information from the reconstructed images.

    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.
