摘要: Techniques for determining a functional magnetic resonance data set of an imaging region of a brain of a patient are disclosed in which blood oxygenation level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging is used. The techniques include using a plurality of reception coils, and acquiring magnetic resonance signals using parallel imaging and a magnetic resonance sequence defining a k-space trajectory, wherein undersampling in at least two k-space directions is performed. The techniques further include reconstructing the functional magnetic resonance data set from the magnetic resonance signals and sensitivity information regarding the plurality of reception coils using a reconstruction technique for undersampled magnetic resonance data, wherein the k-space trajectory is chosen to allow controlled aliasing in all three spatial dimensions including the readout direction.

摘要: A method for generating an image of an object with a magnetic resonance imaging (MM) system is presented. The method includes first performing a calibration scan of the object. The calibration scan is performed with a zero echo time (ZTE) radial sampling scheme to obtain calibration k-spaces for surface coil elements and a body coil of the MRI system. The calibration scan is performed in such a manner that the endpoints of calibration k-space lines in each calibration k-space follow a spiral path. A plurality of calibration parameters are then obtained from the plurality of calibration k-spaces. A second scan of the object is then performed to acquire the MR image data. The image of the object is then generated based on the plurality of calibration parameters and the MR image data.

摘要: A method for determining a rotational orientation change using an NMR gyroscope includes making use of a measure of determining, in a vapor cell, which is filled at least with a gaseous first element and a gaseous second element having non-vanishing nuclear spin, a nuclear spin component of the second element in the second direction and a nuclear spin component of the second element in a third direction. The second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to a first direction, which corresponds to the direction of the static magnetic field and to the polarization direction of the nuclear spin of the second element. Moreover, the second direction corresponds to the direction of an applied alternating magnetic field, the frequency of which corresponds to the Larmor frequency of the Larmor precession of the nuclear spin of the second element about the static magnetic field.

摘要: The present disclosure provides a system for MRI. The system may obtain a plurality of echo signals relating to a subject that are excited by an MRI pulse sequence applied to the subject. The system may perform a quantitative measurement on the subject based on the plurality of echo signals. The MRI pulse sequence may include a CEST module configured to selectively excite exchangeable protons or exchangeable molecules in the subject, an RF excitation pulse applied after the CEST module configured to excite a plurality of gradient echoes, and one or more refocusing pulses applied after the RF excitation pulse. Each of the refocusing pulses may be configured to excite one or more spin echoes. The one or more spin echoes excited by at least one of the one or more refocusing pulses may include a symmetric spin echo and one or more asymmetric spin echoes.

摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry sets a pulse sequence to collect plural echo signals by application of a refocusing pulse more than once after application of an excitation pulse once, and collects data on plural slices that are parallel to each other by executing the pulse sequence more than once. The processing circuitry sets the pulse sequence such that a slice thickness for the refocusing pulse becomes larger than a slice thickness for the excitation pulse, and collects the data on the plural slices by executing the pulse sequence without consecutively collecting data on adjacent ones of the plural slices.

摘要: Distortion generated in an image is effectively corrected in imaging using an EPI sequence such as DWI without extending an imaging time. After one excitation RF pulse of EPI is applied, a navigator scan in which the polarity of the phase encoding is opposite to that of the main scan is performed continuously to the main scan, and the distortion of the image by using the navigator scan data obtained by the navigator scan is corrected. In a case of multi-shot, phase information obtained from the navigator scan data for each shot is used to perform phase correction and multi-shot reconstruction on the main scan data of each shot.
