    摘要: A correction method for reducing temperature-related deviations in a gradient response of an MR pulse sequence in MR imaging is provided. An MR pulse sequence that includes at least one nominal test gradient is run. A gradient response to the at least one nominal test gradient is repeatedly acquired by a magnetic field measurement in an examination region. A gradient system transfer function is determined based on the gradient response. A corrected MR pulse sequence is determined based on the gradient system transfer function and of the at least one nominal test gradient.

    摘要: An adaptive reconstruction of MR data, including acquired MR data of a core region having core segments and simulated MR data of a peripheral region. The method includes ascertaining a peripheral signal based on the MR data of the peripheral region, determining a scaling factor for each core segment by taking into account the peripheral signal and a mean signal intensity of the MR data for the respective core segment, scaling the MR data of the core region by taking into account the MR data of each core segment and that of the scaling factor corresponding to the respective core segment, generating filtered MR data by combining the scaled MR data of the core region with the MR data of the peripheral region, and reconstructing image data from the filtered MR data.

    摘要: A method a for acquiring magnetic resonance data of an object under examination by means of a magnetic resonance system comprises: in an excitation phase, applying an RF excitation pulse; in a wait phase following the excitation phase, applying at least one first RF refocusing pulse after the applied RF excitation pulse according to a first echo spacing; in an acquisition phase following the wait phase, applying at least two further RF refocusing pulses to generate echo signals according to a second echo spacing, wherein the second echo spacing is smaller than the first echo spacing; and reading out the echo signals generated in the acquisition phase as magnetic resonance data from which image data can be reconstructed, wherein in the wait phase at least two spoiler gradients are switched in the readout direction.

    摘要: A method serves for MR-based reconstruction of images of a patient. Whether a value of a movement of the patient in at least one motion direction during an MR scan exceeds a respective threshold value is monitored. If this is not the case, an image reconstruction is performed by a Wave-CAIPI method on the basis of identical calibrated PSF subfunctions for all k-space lines. When this is the case, a number of bins are provided that correspond to sequential value ranges of the patient movement in at least one motion direction, the k-space lines are assigned to the bins based on a movement value determined during their respective acquisition, a calibration of PSF subfunctions is performed for at least two bins on the basis of the k-space lines assigned to said bins, and an image reconstruction is performed by a Wave-CAIPI method in such a way that the PSF subfunctions associated with the assigned bins are used for the respective k-space lines.
