    摘要: In order to stably obtain an even fat-suppressed image without reduction of an imaging efficiency and without being affected by unevenness of irradiation magnetic field of an RF pulse, when an imaging sequence having a first sequence part for suppressing a signal from a desired component of an examinee by applying a CHESS pulse and a second sequence part for measuring an echo signal from the examinee is repeated, the flip angle of the CHESS pulse is changed at plural times. In the case of multi-slice imaging, the flip angle of the CHESS pulse is changed in at lest two slice imaging.

    摘要: The present invention provides a magnetic resonance imaging system capable of performing spectrum measurement even when a magnetic resonant frequency changes during MRS measurement. A time-varying rate of a water magnetic resonant frequency is measured in advance before the MRS measurement. The amount of change in water magnetic resonant frequency during the MRS measurement is predicted from the measured time-varying rate. With the predicted value as the reference, a transmission frequency of an RF magnetic field irradiated in a signal suppression pulse sequence, a transmission frequency of an RF magnetic field for excitation and inversion and a received frequency at the detection of a magnetic resonance signal in a sequence of the MRS measurement are respectively set. A high-precision spectrum measurement is hence enabled.

    摘要: When data of plural original images having different echo times are acquired to produce water/fat separated images by performing an processing operations in an MRI apparatus, a partial region of the original image data is specified and the specified region is subjected to the water/fat separation processing. Since noise components included in the specified region are fewer than those in the original image data, errors occurring due to noise components during unwrapping and other such processing operations can be reduced and image quality degradation be suppressed. Therefore, water/fat separated images having an excellent image quality can be produced. When echoes having different echo times are generated, rewind pulses are applied ahead of the readout gradient magnetic fields to equalize the polarities of the readout gradient magnetic fields. Consequently, influence of application of gradient magnetic fields on echo signals can be suppressed and the accuracy of water/fat separation can be improved.

    摘要: There is provided a technique for securing a large examination space in a tunnel type MRI device without inviting increase of manufacturing cost and without significantly reducing irradiation efficiency or uniformity of the irradiation intensity distribution in an imaging region. Between rungs of a partially cylindrical RF coil, which coil corresponds to a cylindrical RF coil of which part is removed, there are disposed half-loops generating magnetic fields, which are synthesized with magnetic fields generated by loops constituted by adjacent rungs of the partially cylindrical RF coil and rings connecting the rungs to generate a circularly polarized or elliptically polarized magnetic field. Further, high-frequency signals of the same reference frequency having a desired amplitude ratio and phase difference are supplied to the partially cylindrical RF coils and half-loops.
