摘要: In diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion-encoded gradient pulses with an amplitude and a duration are activated. The amplitude and the duration of the gradient pulses are varied for various excitations of nuclear magnetization. The echo time for the various excitations of nuclear magnetization can be changed.

摘要: In a magnetic resonance apparatus and method for acquiring magnetic resonance data, a magnetic resonance data acquisition scanner executes a turbo spin echo (TSE) data acquisition sequence with simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) imaging wherein nuclear spins in two different slices of an examination subject are simultaneously excited so as to produce respective echo trains. The magnetic resonance data acquisition scanner is operated with the SMS imaging configured so that magnetic resonance signals from the respective slices have a different contrast, with the SMS being configured to allow evolution of magnetization of the nuclear spins for the second contrast while magnetic resonance signals with the first contrast are being detected. The respective magnetic resonance signals from the two different slices are detected and entered into an electronic memory organized as k-space, as k-space data.

摘要: In a method and apparatus for acquiring magnetic resonance (MR) raw data with a simultaneous multi-slice (SMS) data acquisition sequence, nuclear spins respectively in multiple slices of the examination subject are simultaneously excited by radiating, from a radio-frequency (RF) radiator of the MR data acquisition scanner, a multi-band (MB) RF pulse. This MB RF pulse in the SMS data acquisition sequence is generated by radiating and superimposing a number of single band (SB) RF pulses emitted from said RF radiator, each having a respectively different flip angle. Raw MR data are acquired from the multiple slices of the examination subject after the simultaneous excitation of nuclear spins in the multiple slices with said MB RF pulse.

摘要: A magnetic resonance (MR) method and apparatus use simultaneous multislice imaging, with different excitations being effective for different slices in respective iterations of a single scanning sequence, in order to acquire raw MR data from different multiple slices, with respectively different contrasts, in the single scanning sequence. Single band excitation of a first slice among the multiple slices takes place in a first iteration of the single scanning sequence, with multi-band excitation then occurring for all of the multiple slices. Raw data are then acquired from the first slice, and at least one other slice among the multiple slices, that respectively exhibit different contrasts due to only the first slice being affected by the single band excitation. In a second iteration of the single scanning sequence, another slice is excited with single band excitation, and the first slice is among the multiple slices excited with multi-band excitation. Raw data are then acquired from the first slice and at least one other slice among the multiple slices that have the respective contrasts swapped in comparison to the first iteration.

摘要: In a method and apparatus for acquiring magnetic resonance (MR) raw data, an MR data acquisition scanner is operated to execute a turbo spin echo (TSE) or a turbo gradient spin echo (TGSE) sequence wherein nuclear spins are excited in multiple slices of the examination object simultaneously by radiating at least one radio-frequency (RF) pulse from an RF radiator of the MR data acquisition scanner, thereby causing the excited nuclear spins in said multiple slices to produce an echo train. A multi-band refocusing pulse is radiated that refocuses nuclear spins in at least one of said multiple slices that follows a first of the multiple slices, and readout gradients are activated to acquire MR signals, with respectively different contrasts, at respectively different readout times of the echo train. The read out MR signals are entered into an electronic memory organized as k-space.
