    摘要: According to a method, first magnetic resonance signals are captured at a first time point. Second magnetic resonance signals are captured at a second time point. The first magnetic resonance signals are provoked by nuclear spin excitations of fat and water in an examination object. The second magnetic resonance signals are provoked by nuclear spin excitations of fat and water in the examination object. The nuclear spin excitations of fat and water are in phase at the first time point. The nuclear spin excitations of fat and water are in opposed phase at the second time point. A Bo field map is determined based on the first magnetic resonance signals and the second magnetic resonance signals. Further magnetic resonance signals are captured. At least one magnetic resonance mapping is determined by reconstructing the further magnetic resonance signals. The at least one magnetic resonance mapping is corrected based on the Bo field map.

    摘要: In a method for the determination of sensitivity profiles of local coils in the acquisition of magnetic resonance data, a first measurement data set of an examination area is acquired with a first acquisition coil, a second measurement data set of the examination area is acquired with a local coil, and a sensitivity profile of the local coil that is used is determined on the basis of the first measurement data set and the measurement data set. The first measurement data set and the second measurement data set are acquired using a pulse sequence with ultrashort echo times. In the determination of the sensitivity profile, errors due to dephasings are avoided as best as possible by the acquisition of the measurement data sets with a pulse sequence with ultrashort echo times (i.e. in particular echo times TE shorter than 0.5 ms); in particular, the dephasings are smaller given these echo times than in the case of gradient echo (GRE)-based pulse sequences.

    摘要: The invention provides for a magnetic resonance imaging system (100, 300, 100) for acquiring magnetic resonance data (110, 1104) from a subject (118) within an imaging zone (108). The magnetic resonance imaging system comprises a memory (136) for storing machine executable instructions (160, 162, 164, 166, 316) and pulse sequence data (140, 1102). The pulse sequence data comprises instructions for controlling the magnetic resonance imaging system to acquire magnetic resonance data according to a magnetic resonance imaging method. The magnetic resonance imaging system further comprises a processor (130) for controlling the magnetic resonance imaging system. Execution of the machine executable instructions causes the processor to: acquire (1200) the magnetic resonance data by controlling the magnetic resonance imaging system with the pulse sequence data; calculate (1202) a B0 inhomogeneity map (148) by analyzing the magnetic resonance data according to the magnetic resonance imaging method, calculate (1204) a B1 phase map (150) and/or a B1 amplitude map (1106) by analyzing the magnetic resonance data according to the magnetic resonance imaging method; and calculate (1206) a second derivative (1110) of the B1 phase map and/or a second derivative of the B1 magnitude map 1 and/or a second derivative of the B0 in homogeneity map in at least one predetermined direction. The second derivative is calculated using a corrected voxel size in the at least one predetermined direction, wherein the corrected voxel size is calculated using a correction factor calculated from the derivative of the B0 inhomogeneity map.

    摘要: In a method to operate a magnetic resonance apparatus with a magnetic resonance sequence—in particular a PETRA sequence—in which k-space is radially scanned for an image acquisition in a first region of k-space that does not include the center of k-space, and in which an excitation pulse is radiated as the full strength of at least two phase coding gradients is reached, and in which k-space is scanned in a Cartesian manner—in particular by single point imaging—in a second region of k-space remaining without the first region, the gradient strength corresponding to a shortest total acquisition time is determined automatically from predetermined sequence parameters and/or sequence parameters defined by a user. The sequence parameters parameterize the magnetic resonance sequence and describe the number of acquisitions for the regions of k-space and the repetition time, and the gradient strength is indicated to a user as a recommendation and/or is set automatically in the implementation of the magnetic resonance sequence.
