    摘要: The disclosure relates to techniques for acquiring measured data that has been recorded simultaneously via a magnetic resonance facility from at least two slices from an examination object comprising at least two different spin types. The techniques includes selecting a desired simultaneous recording of measured data from at least two slices in which during recording phases that generate field of view shifts have been imprinted, selecting a compensation factor to compensate for interference signals caused by the different spin types, determining a compensation phase for the phases to be imprinted in the desired recording as a function of the compensation factor, and carrying out the desired recording of measured data and/or reconstruction of image data from the measured data by applying the compensation phase that has been determined to the respective phases to be imprinted.

    摘要: Method for operating an MR device to acquire MR data slices, wherein in a sequence section of an MR sequence, MR signals of at least two slices are measured simultaneously, and an acquisition order having an association of slices to respective sequence sections of a repetition sequence covering all slices of an associated concatenation is determined using an ordering rule. A crosstalk criterion is evaluated for the acquisition order by checking whether a first slice acquired in a last sequence section of the repetition sequence is directly adjacent to a second slice acquired in a first sequence section of the same repetition sequence. If the crosstalk criterion is fulfilled, the acquisition order is adapted according to an adaptation rule such that a larger temporal acquisition distance between the acquisition of the first and the second slices is provided.

    摘要: In a method for correcting chemical shift artifacts, CSA, a convolutional neural network (CNN) may be provided, which is trained using acquisition data acquired in phase and in opposed phase by a DIXON MR method that may include acquisition data that contains CSA in mutually opposite directions and acquisition data that contains CSA only in one direction. The CNN may be trained to transform acquisition data obtained by the fast DIXON MR method so the acquisition data acquired by the fast DIXON MR method exhibits CSA that arise only in the same direction. The method may further include acquiring fast DIXON MR acquisition data using respective control instructions and applying the trained CNN to the acquisition data to minimize or entirely remove the CSA and to calculate corrected acquisition data. The CSA may arise in the magnetic resonance DIXON method when using fast DIXON MR to capture the echoes.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method for assessing an image-generating procedure of magnetic resonance imaging, wherein in the image-generating procedure, an image recording procedure using at least one accelerating technique is combined with a reconstruction procedure comprising a reconstruction function trained using machine learning, wherein the method includes: establishing a spatially resolved image quality metric for a magnetic resonance image generated with the image-generating procedure; evaluating the image quality metric using at least one measure criterion with which at least one notification and/or adaptation measure is associated; and carrying out the at least one notification and/or adaptation measure for each fulfilled measure criterion.

    摘要: To acquire measurement data of an object, a first subsampled set of diffusion-weighted measurement data with switching of diffusion gradients for diffusion encoding of the measurement data, using a first echo spacing, and a second subsampled set of non-diffusion-weighted measurement data, using the first echo spacing, are acquired. The first and second subsampled sets of measurement data are supplemented using calibration data to produce first and second complete sets of measurement data. At least the first calibration data, acquired using the first echo spacing, may be used for supplementing the second subsampled set of measurement data to produce a second complete set of measurement data. By supplementing subsampled sets of measurement data with calibration data acquired according to the same echo spacing as the subsampled measurement data, noise signals in the supplemented measurement data are advantageously eliminated.
