    摘要: When performing imaging in synchronization with a biological movement of an examinee by using a pulse sequence applying a pre-saturation pulse, it is possible to reduce irregularities of echo signal intensity and artifact on the image generated by the irregularities. Especially, it is possible to prevent artifact attributed to blood in the ventricle when performing delay contrast imaging. For this, before measuring the echo signal, an IR pulse or the like for adjusting magnetization to a desired state is applied so as to suppress irregularities of the echo signal intensity and prevent artifact.

    摘要: There is provided an MRI apparatus and a blood vessel image capturing method capable of improving the separability of an artery and a vein. In order to do so, using an imaging sequence obtained by combining a first sequence portion for measuring a first echo signal used for acquisition of a blood vessel image of a desired region of an object with a second sequence portion for measuring a second echo signal used for acquisition of blood flow information of the object, the object is imaged by one examination scan. In addition, blood flow information is acquired using the second echo signal, and at least one of an artery and a vein is extracted in an image, which is reconstructed using the first echo signal, using the acquired blood flow information.

    摘要: Disclosed are a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and an RF pulse control method wherein an RF pulse sequence in a start-up sequence is set as a monotonically increasing flip angle with offset, in order to reduce ghosts, blurring, and other artifacts during measurement in a transient state. For example, the sum of two adjacent consecutive terms in a monotonically increasing sequence is set as the flip angle. Specifically, the number of RF pulses in the RF pulse sequence and the flip angle for the RF pulses in an SSFP sequence are set, and the monotonically increasing flip angle with offset is found, based on the set number of RF pulses in the RF pulse sequence and the flip angle for the RF pulses in the SSFP sequence, and used as the RF pulse sequence.

    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.
