    摘要: Coil elements (18) generate a B1 excitation field in an examination region (14), which B1 excitation field is distorted by patient loading (e.g., wavelength effects). Passive shimming elements (22, 24) are disposed between the coil elements and the subject in order to improve the B1 field uniformity. In one embodiment, passive shimming elements include one or more dielectric rods (55) disposed below the subject which generate no substantial MR proton signal and which have a permittivity of at least 100 and preferably greater than 500. In another embodiment, tubes (24) adjacent each coil element are supplied with a dielectric liquid, a thickness of the dielectric liquid between the coil element and the subject adjusting a phase of the B1 field generated by the coil element. Active B1 shimming may be combined with passive shimming elements (22, 24) to effect an improved RF field homogeneity result.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging method is presented for forming an image of an object, wherein a stationary magnetic field and temporary magnetic fields having a position dependent field pattern are applied, magnetic resonance signals are acquired by at least one receiver antenna, spins are excitated in a part of the object, MR signals are acquired during application of the position-dependent field patterns (G1, G2, . . . ) and a magnetic resonance image is derived from the sampled magnetic resonance signals. The field patterns are substantially non-linear, the number N of total field patterns is larger than 3, and at least N−1 field patterns are independently controllable in field strength. The magnetic resonance signals are acquired in a sub-sampling fashion.

    摘要: An image is processed taking into account the direction of a predominant structure of the image. Said predominant direction is derived from image information in the image. In particular, the covariance matrix having matrix elements depending on products of differences between pixel-values in separate directions is calculated. The eigenvectors of the covariance matrix correspond with the predominant direction of the image structure and the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix represent the strength of the structure in the image. The covariance matrix is computed locally, i.e. for separate regions in the images so as to take variations of the direction of predominant structures into account.

    摘要: In a GRASE magnetic resonance method, most profiles in k-space with a certain k.sub.y value are measured with different magnetic field read gradient polarity and at different time intervals from the excitation RF-pulse. The two resulting sets of measurements, with positive and negative read gradient polarity, respectively, are used to correct read gradient polarity dependent phase errors, in order to obtain reconstructed images in which the effects of these phase errors are greatly reduced. In an improved version the measurements are used to reconstruct images with a predictable T.sub.2 weighting.
