    摘要: An NMR imaging apparatus and method for detecting a nuclear spin resonance signal from an object, which is placed in a magnetic field, to produce images of the object. At an instant when the spins come into phase after the signal detection by a first spin excitation, RF magnetic field pulses are applied for rotating the direction of the spin to that opposite to the initial state. After that, the spin excitation and the signal direction of second time are conducted to measure the data which are different in the effect of the relaxation time from the first measurements. By repeating these sequences, it is possible to produce a plurality of images such as an intensity image or a relaxation time enhanced image.

After excitation of nuclear spins, the gradient magnetic field Gx for phase-encoding is applied and there is repeated a sequence of measuring and obtaining an echo train of spin-echoes with a constant gradient magnetic field Gx and a periodically-inverted gradient magnetic field Gy, as varying the amount of encoding, so as to obtain the three-dimensional imaging by the Fourier-conversion. Moreover, after the selective excitation of spins within an X-Y surface, a 180.degree. radio frequency pulse is applied.

    摘要: In a magnetic resonance imagining method, using an effect that a fluid flows out of a plane where it is selectively excited between the time of applying a 90.degree. radio frequency pulse and the time of applying of a 180.degree. radio frequency pulse, two, images are separately constructed from multiple echo signals which are sampled before applying the 180.degree. radio frequency pulse and multiple echo signals which are sampled after applying the 180.degree. radio frequency pulse. An image of the fluid flow and an image of a static part are separated from each other based on a difference between the two constructed images.

    摘要: A bobbin for holding a gradient magnetic field coil, having a changeable size and sectional shape (a separable bobbin) is constituted by assembling coil supporters (a bobbin divided into a plurality of segments). The separable bobbin has coil supporters of an upper part a bottom part and a set of side surface parts and at least two supporting rods made of a nonmagnetic substance are fitted to the side surface parts of the coil supporters. Holes permitting the insertion of the supporting rods are bored in the upper and bottom parts of the coil supporters. The length d1 between both side surface parts can be made variable by adjusting the insertion length of the supporting rod into the upper and bottom parts. Accordingly, the distance between a patient and a gradient magnetic field can be reduced, and an intended gradient magnetic field intensity can be generated by a smaller current producing the gradient magnetic field than in the prior art. Setting of the patient to an MRI imaging apparatus becomes also easier, and there can be obtained a gradient magnetic field coil capable of being easily fitted and removed to and from the MRI imaging apparatus.

    摘要: In magnetic resonance imaging, a first echo train is obtained by applying a readout gradient magnetic field to a region of interest to be imaged and periodically inverting the polarity of the readout gradient magnetic field, without applying an encoding gradient magnetic field to the region of interest. A periodic change of phase shift of the first echo train is detected from the first echo train. Information indicating phase shifts of all of the echoes in the first echo train is obtained using the periodic change of phase shift. A second echo train is obtained by applying a readout gradient magnetic field and an encoding magnetic field to the region of interest and periodically inverting the polarity of the readout gradient magnetic field. Phases of echoes in the second echo train are corrected using the information indicating phase shifts of all of the echoes in the first echo train.

    摘要: This invention relates to a ultra-high speed nuclear magnetic resonance fluid imaging method for selectively reconstructing projected images of a fluid from an echo train generated by the use of a readout gradient magnetic field which inverses periodically. A pulse-like encoding gradient magnetic field is used in combination with a readout gradient magnetic field which inverses periodically, so as to generate an echo train containing alternately echoes whose phase change of magnetization due to a flow is emphasized and echoes whose phase change of magnetization due to the flow is corrected, and subjected sequentially to phase encoding. A data train containing only the echoes whose phase change of magnetization due to the flow is emphasized and a data train containing only the echoes whose phase change of magnetization due to the flow is corrected are formed from sampling data of these echoes, respectively, and two images are then obtained by subjecting them individually to two-dimensional Fourier transform. Both of these images are then subtracted.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging method and apparatus employing a pulse sequence including a periodically switched readout gradient and a phase encoding gradient to derive a series of echo signals. Prior to execution of the pulse sequence for acquiring data for imaging, a pulse sequence in which the phase encoding gradient is cancelled is executed to obtain information of deviation in position of echo peaks. Thereafter, a pulse sequence including the phase encoding gradient is executed and at this time, sampling start timings for echo data sampling in respective phase periods of the readout gradient are controlled according to the information of the echo peak deviation. Further, a phase difference between data of odd number echo signals and data of even number echo signals is compensated by rotating either of the data of the odd number echo signals or the even number echo signals by a suitable rotating angle to minimize artifacts.
