    摘要: An MR imaging method wherein motion of an object to be imaged is examined during a preparation phase preceding the actual MR examination. The necessary sequences for the subsequent MR examination are modified during the examination to compensate for the motion based on motion parameters calculated during the preparation phase or motion parameters derived from the motion parameters calculated during the preparation phase based on a correlation between the motion parameters.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance method includes performing a plurality of magnetic resonance excitation operations each using a different sub-set of a set of radio frequency transmit coils (30), each sub-set including more than one radio frequency transmit coil, acquiring magnetic resonance data responsive to each said magnetic resonance excitation operation, and computing a B1 or flip angle map for each radio frequency transmit coil of the set of radio frequency transmit coils based on the acquired magnetic resonance data. A magnetic resonance method includes performing an actual flip angle mapping (AFI) sequence using a radio frequency transmit coil (32) with a ratio TR1:TR2 of the TR times of the AFI sequence selected to be rational, acquiring magnetic resonance data responsive to said AFI sequence, and computing a B1 or flip angle map for the radio frequency transmit coil based on the acquired magnetic resonance data.

    摘要: A method comprises: performing a number of B i field mapping sequences (24) using a set of radio frequency transmit coils (11) to acquire a B1 field mapping data set wherein said number is less than a number of radio frequency transmit coils in the set of radio frequency transmit coils; and determining coil sensitivities (30) for the set of radio frequency transmit coils based on the acquired B1 field mapping data set. In some embodiments, the performed B1 field mapping sequences are defined by (i) performing a linear transform (40) on the set of radio frequency transmit coils to generate a set of orthogonal virtual radio frequency transmit coils (42) and (ii) selecting (44) a sub-set (46) of the set of orthogonal virtual radio frequency transmit coils that define the performed B1 field mapping sequences.

    摘要: A virtual coil emulation method is used in a magnetic resonance imaging scan for acquiring a magnetic resonance image of an object (10). The scan is performed by an MR system (1) using a physical coil arrangement (9; 11; 12; 13) including a set of individual transmit coils. The coils are adapted for transmission of a desired RF transmit field to the object (10) for magnetic resonance spin excitation of the object (10). Each coil is associated with a physical transmit channel. The RF transmit field corresponds to a virtual arrangement of two or more of the coils. Virtual transmit channel properties include virtual transmit channel weights are assigned to the RF transmit field which describe the virtual complex RF field amplitudes with respect to each individual coil of the virtual coil arrangement to be applied to the physical coils (9; 11; 12; 13) for generating the RF transmit field.
