    摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging system comprises means for generating a main magnetic field with a main magnetic field strength an a plurality of magnetic resonance signal receiving positions, provided by one or more receiver antennae. The receiver antennae or coils have a spatial sensitivity profile for acquiring magnetic resonance signals at a predetermined degree of undersampling. Further means for reconstructing a magnetic resonance image from the set of undersampled magnetic resonance signals and the spatial sensitivity profiles are provided. In addition, means are provided for determining the degree of undersampling (R) in dependency of the given main field strength (B0) and the selected field-of-view (FOV).

    摘要: Embodiments of a method, a tracking system, an MRI system, and a non-transitory computer readable medium that stores instructions for simultaneous imaging and tracking are presented. A designated signal and one or more characteristics corresponding to a plurality of imaging gradient waveforms are received. Further, a tracking pulse sequence is synchronized with an imaging pulse sequence at a determined point based on the designated signal. The tracking pulse sequence is then applied simultaneously with the imaging pulse sequence for acquiring corresponding response signals from an interventional device that includes at least one tracking coil and a tracking source configured to generate response signals at a tracking resonant frequency different from an imaging resonant frequency. A location of the tracking coil within or outside body of a subject is determined based on the response signals received from the tracking source and the characteristics corresponding to the imaging gradient waveforms.
