    摘要: The disclosure relates to techniques for triggering magnetic resonance data acquisition. The techniques include detecting a respiration direction of a respiration signal of an acquisition subject, predicting in real time an amplitude peak value of an expiration signal in the current respiration period according to the real-time respiration signal of the acquisition subject, multiplying the amplitude peak value by a preset coefficient, and using the product as a trigger point threshold of the current respiration period. When it is determined that an expiration stage of the current respiration period is starting, the techniques also include calculating in real time or periodically the absolute value of the difference between the amplitude of the current expiration signal and the trigger point threshold currently calculated, and if the absolute value of the difference is less than a preset difference threshold, then triggering MR data acquisition.

    摘要: In a magnetic resonance readout-segmented diffusion-weighted imaging method, apparatus, and storage medium, a non-linear phase RF excitation pulse is applied to nuclear spins that exhibit a magnetization intensity vector, and applying, in a slice selection direction, a slice selection gradient pulse of duration corresponding to the non-linear phase RF excitation pulse, so as to flip the magnetization intensity vector into the X-Y plane. Diffusion weighting is performed on the magnetization intensity vector flipped into the X-Y plane. A readout-segmented sampling sequence is executed to read out raw data in a segmented manner from the magnetization intensity vector resulting from diffusion weighting. A view angle tilting gradient pulse is applied in the slice selection direction.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to magnetic resonance imaging triggered by a prospective acquisition correction sequence. The technique comprises determining repetition time and an acquisition window time of a single-shot fast spin echo sequence; determining the maximum imaging layer number N in each physiological movement cycle on the basis of the acquisition window time and the repetition time, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2; and enabling the single-shot fast spin echo sequence to obtain M layers of imaging data within at least one acquisition window time when the prospective acquisition correction sequence generates a trigger signal, where M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to N. According to the present disclosure, a plurality of layers of imaging data are obtained within a single acquisition window time, thereby increasing a scanning speed and shortening imaging time.
