    摘要: There is provided an image noise reduction method for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of an image when observed. The image signal of an identical region is measured twice at different times. Images obtained by respective measurements and seen from an identical visual point are so juxtaposed on an identical plane as to form two sheets. By seeing the two sheets of images with parallax changed directly or through stereo glass, the effective signal components of the images are focused on the same plane whereas only noise components are dispersed in a direction perpendicular to the plane.

    摘要: Based on the relation that the higher the temperature of a portion to be measured, the lower becomes coherence of a nuclear spin at that portion, the present invention measures indirectly the temperature state of the portion to be measured from the change of intensity of NMR signals by utilizing this relationship. A transverse relaxation time is contained as one of the parameters in the relation between the signal intensity and the temperature; hence this transverse relaxation time is determined in advance for the portion to be measured and utilized in for the equation representing their relationship. This application discloses also an invention for determining a blood perfusion rate of the portion to be measured from the temperature data obtained in the manner described above.

    摘要: To obtain a high quality image at a vascular area at high speed: (1) there is used a pulse sequence which includes a bipolar phase encoding magnetic field, dephases a stationary area, and does not generate the first order moment; (2) phase distortions are estimated from measured data and removed, without incorporating a new function for function fitting; and (3) the relationship between the application timing of a readout gradient magnetic field and the latest application time of the other slice selection and phase encoding magnetic fields is obtained using as its parameter the time T.sub.E from excitation to generation of an echo peak within a measurement signal, and using this relationship, the application timing T.sub.E is obtained which makes minimum the echo peak shift quantity.

    摘要: A slice selection gradient magnetic field used in a pulse sequence for generating a spin echo signal is applied in such a fashion that its polarity at the time of a 90.degree. pulse becomes opposite to the one at the time of 180.degree. pulse, in order to expand a dynamic range of blood flow speed measurement. When the blood flow speed contains a component in a slice vertical direction, the gradient magnetic field in the slice vertical direction is adjusted so that the phase changes of two sets of flow encoded pulses contained in the slice vertical direction are opposite to each other.The flow speed in the direction of the readout gradient magnetic field, which is a lateral direction of the slice plane, is purely measured by canceling influences of the flow in the slice vertical direction.

    摘要: In order to permit the detection of a respiratory motion and an imaging synchronized with the respiration by an NMR imaging apparatus itself without any special hardware, a sequence for detecting the respiratory motion is repeated for a short time immediately before the measurement of an image signal to detect the position and speed of the respiratory motion, and a desired image signal is measured in synchronism with the detected position. Alternatively, the respiratory motion is detected immediately after the measurement of an image signal, and the measured image signal is corrected in accordance with the detected amount to obtain a desired image signal synchronized with the respiration.
