    摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a plurality of radio frequency coils (34) that acquire variable density sensitivity encoded data that is undersampled at least away from the center of k-space. A reconstruction processor (52) for each coil reconstructs: a regularization image reconstructed from a higher density portion of the variable density sensitivity encoded data disposed at or near a center of k-space acquired by that coil; and a folded image reconstructed from the variable density sensitivity encoded data acquired by that coil. An unfolding processor (66) unfolds the folded images. The unfolding is regularized by the regularization images.

    摘要: A novel magnetic resonance imaging method is described, for forming an image of an object from a plurality of signals sampled in a restricted homogeneity region of a main magnet field of a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus. A patient disposed on a table is moved continuously through the bore of the main magnet and spins in a predetermined area of the patient are excited by an excitation pulse from a transmitter antenna, such that an image is formed over a region exceeding largely the restricted region. Data is undersampled in the restricted region by means off at least one receiver antenna in a plurality of receive situations being defined as a block of measurements contiguous in time having preserved magnetisation and presaturation conditions within the excited area of the patient. Fold-over artefacts due to said undersampling are unfolded by means of the known sensitivity pattern of the receiver antenna and/or the properties of selected factors determining said receive situations.

    摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging method for forming an image of an object from a plurality of signals acquired by an array of multiple receiver antennae, wherein spins are excitated in a part of the object. MR signals are measured along a predetermined trajectory containing a plurality of lines in k-space by application of a read gradient and other gradients. Further, a navigator gradient is applied for the measurement of navigator MR signals and an additional gradient is applied in order to achieve diffusion sensitivity of the MR signal, wherein phase corrections are determined from phases and moduli of the navigator MR signals so as to correct the measured MR signals. An image of the part of the object is determined from the corrected MR signals. The corrected phase is determined from the weighted phase difference between a reference navigator signal for each antenna and the actual navigator MR signal of said antenna.

    摘要: Coil elements (18) generate a B1 excitation field in an examination region (14), which B1 excitation field is distorted by patient loading (e.g., wavelength effects). Passive shimming elements (22, 24) are disposed between the coil elements and the subject in order to improve the B1 field uniformity. In one embodiment, passive shimming elements include one or more dielectric rods (55) disposed below the subject which generate no substantial MR proton signal and which have a permittivity of at least 100 and preferably greater than 500. In another embodiment, tubes (24) adjacent each coil element are supplied with a dielectric liquid, a thickness of the dielectric liquid between the coil element and the subject adjusting a phase of the B1 field generated by the coil element. Active B1 shimming may be combined with passive shimming elements (22, 24) to effect an improved RF field homogeneity result.
