    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: Successive magnetic resonance images are reconstructed from the respective sets of magnetic resonance signals of the dynamic series on the basis of the identified distribution of likelihood of changes and optionally the static reference image. The magnetic resonance signals are acquired by way of a receiver antennae system having a spatial sensitivity profile and in an undersampled fashion and the successive magnetic resonance images are reconstructed optionally also on the basis of the spatial sensitivity profile.

    摘要: This invention describes the combination of SSFP, a method for accelerating data acquisition, and an eddy current compensation method. This synergistic combination allows acquisition of images with high signal-to-noise ratio, high image contrast, high spatial and temporal resolutions, and good immunity against system instabilities. k-t BLAST and k-t SENSE are the preferred method for accelerating data acquisition, since they allow high acceleration factors, but other methods such as parallel imaging and reduced field-of-view imaging are also applicable. Typical applications of this invention include cine 3D cardiac imaging, and 2D real-time cardiac imaging.

    摘要: In SENSitivity Encoding (SENSE), the reconstructed images are susceptible to amplified noise and/or artifacts if the underlying matrix inversion procedure is ill-conditioned. In this work, we propose to firstly apply the conventional SENSE algorithm to obtain an initial estimate. This initial estimate undergoes filtering to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Then, it is fed back to the reconstruction as a reference image to estimate the amount of aliasing that may arise from regularization. We derive the optimal regularized solution that minimizes the weighted sum of artifact and noise power.
