    摘要: The invention relates to a method of MR imaging of at least a portion of a body (10) of a patient placed in an examination volume of an MR device (1). The object of the invention is to provide an improved, i.e. faster, parallel imaging technique. The invention proposes to acquire a survey signal data set (21, 22) at a low image resolution, which survey signal data set (21, 22) includes MR signals received in parallel or successively via a volume RF coil (9) and via a set of array RF coils (11, 12, 13). Spatial sensitivity profiles (23) of the array RF coils (11, 12, 13) are determined from the low resolution data. As a next step, a reference scan is performed in which a reference signal data set (25) is acquired at intermediate resolution solely via the array RF coils (11, 12, 13). The spatial sensitivity profiles (27) of the array RF coils (11, 12, 13) are determined from the data acquired at intermediate resolution and from the spatial sensitivity profiles (23) determined before at low resolution. Finally, a diagnostic scan is performed, in which a diagnostic signal data set (29) is acquired in parallel via the array RF coils (11, 12, 13) at high resolution. The diagnostic signal data set (29) may be acquired in a sub-sampled fashion. A diagnostic MR image (30) is then reconstructed from the diagnostic signal data set (29) and from the spatial sensitivity profiles (27) determined at the intermediate resolution, for example by using the SENSE or SMASH algorithm.

    摘要: In a magnetic resonance imaging method flow quantities and diffusion quantities are measured in the presence of temporary magnetic gradient fields (gradient pulses). Signal amplitudes of the magnetic resonance signals and/or flow and diffusion quantities calculated from the magnetic resonance signals are corrected for non-linearities in the magnetic gradient fields.

    摘要: A novel magnetic resonance imaging method is described, for forming an image of an object from a plurality of signals sampled in a restricted homogeneity region of a main magnet field of a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus. A patient disposed on a table is moved continuously through the bore of the main magnet and spins in a predetermined area of the patient are excited by an excitation pulse from a transmitter antenna, such that an image is formed over a region exceeding largely the restricted region. Data is undersampled in the restricted region by means off at least one receiver antenna in a plurality of receive situations being defined as a block of measurements contiguous in time having preserved magnetisation and presaturation conditions within the excited area of the patient. Fold-over artefacts due to said undersampling are unfolded by means of the known sensitivity pattern of the receiver antenna and/or the properties of selected factors determining said receive situations.

    摘要: The invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus including an array of two or more RF antennas for transmitting RF pulses to and receiving MR signals from a subject positioned in an examination volume, and where the RF antennas have spatial transmit and receive sensitivity profiles. The apparatus is configured to control the temporal succession, the phase, and the amplitude of the RF feeding of each individual RF antenna. The apparatus is also configured to determine the phases and amplitudes from the spatial transmit sensitivity profiles of the RF antennas, and reconstruct a MR image from a combination of the received MR signals received via the individual RF antennas and from the spatial receive sensitivity profiles of the RF antennas. Further, the apparatus is configured to determine the spatial transmit sensitivity profiles of the RF antennas from the spatial receive sensitivity profiles of the RF antennas, or vice versa.
