    摘要: In a method for representation of flow in a magnetic resonance image, a first magnetic resonance image of an examination subject is acquired, wherein the flow occurring in the examination subject is not compensated in a first spatial direction; a second magnetic resonance image is acquired, wherein the flow occurring in the first spatial direction is compensated, the phase of the magnetization in each of the first and the second magnetic resonance images is calculated of the phase difference between the first phase image and the second phase image, which is calculated is a measure for the flow along the first spatial direction. A third magnetic resonance image is acquired, wherein the flow in a second spatial direction perpendicular to the first spatial direction is not compensated, and a fourth magnetic resonance image is acquired, wherein the flow occurring in the second spatial direction is compensated. The phase in each of the third and fourth magnetic resonance images is calculated and the phase difference between the third and fourth phase images is calculated, which is a measure of the flow along the second spatial direction. A resulting flow velocity vector is calculated by vectorial addition of both flow components, and is visually represented.

    摘要: A method for simulating magnetic resonance signals is proposed. A lattice array where each point in the array has several magnetic resonance sensitive particles is provided. Statistic property of each point is set. A raw magnetic resonance imaging data is calculated based on statistic property of each point and a magnetic resonance imaging sequence to be applied. A system for simulating magnetic resonance signals is further proposed. By considering statistic property of each point, it can distinguish every part of the object to be scanned and really reflect the structure of object without using a real magnetic resonance imaging device. It saves time and costs for avoiding several scanning by the real a magnetic resonance imaging device.

    摘要: A nuclear-medical image is generated from a nuclear-medical data set that can be acquired with a dual modality tomography apparatus, which has both a scanner for acquisition of magnetic resonance images and a scanner for acquisition of nuclear-medical data sets within a common acquisition volume. A nuclear-medical data set and an MR image are thereby acquired, and a nuclear-medical magnetic resonance atlas is provided with a reference MR data set of the region of a reference patient to be imaged and a corresponding correction data set. A transformation that maps the reference MR data set to the MR image is generated and applied to the correction data set to generate a transformed correction data set that is registered with the nuclear-medical data set. The corrected nuclear-medical image is subsequently calculated from the transformed correction data set and the nuclear-medical data set.
