    摘要: In a method and apparatus for magnet resonance imaging, and RF excitation pulse is emitted for the excitation of spins in an object to be examined and simultaneously a slice-selection gradient is activated during the RF excitation pulse, a pulse series of refocusing pulses is emitted, a slice-selection gradient pulse is activated during each refocusing pulse, and alternating readout gradient pulse series are activated, each series being in the pulse between two refocusing pulses, with a de-phasing pulse being activated immediately before each readout gradient pulse series and a re-phasing pulse being activated immediately after the each readout gradient pulse series such that a corresponding offset is produced in the readout direction so that each readout gradient pulse series scans a part of the k-matrix in the kx direction in a serpentine-like manner, with the serpentine-like scanning of each partial section being implemented by activating short phase-coding gradient pulses during each zero point of the corresponding readout-gradient pulse series.

    摘要: A deflectable tip catheter that is safe and effective for use in a magnetic resonance imaging environment. The deflectable tip catheter is configured such that it includes a built-in antenna, such as a loopless antenna or a loop antenna. The built-in antenna permits the deflectable tip catheter to be actively tracked and/or visualized. Depending upon the specific configuration of the deflectable tip catheter, the catheter may be tracked and/or visualized as a single unit, it may be tracked and/or visualized separate and independent of other components or instruments associated with the catheter, such as pull wires, injection needles, surgical instruments, and the like. The catheters described herein include injection type catheters and/or guidance type catheters.

    摘要: In one aspect, a restraining assembly for an awake animal within a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device is provided and includes a body restrainer having a first part and a second part that hold a body of the awake animal therebetween. The assembly is of a dual coil design in that it has a volume coil for generating an excitation RF signal and an RF surface coil for receiving an RF response from the animal. The assembly further includes components that serve to restrain movements of the animal, thereby eliminating motion artifacts during the MRI procedure. For example, the assembly preferably includes an adjustable hip holder that has a first section that seats against and applies a restraining force to a buttocks/hip area of the animal and a second section that is adjustably coupled to a pivoting member that is attached to the first section of the body restrainer such that the hip holder is adjustable in both a longitudinal direction along a length of the body restrainer and an up/down direction within the body restrainer between the first and second parts thereof. The pivoting member having features that permit the hip holder to be locked in a desired location so that a sufficient restraining force is applied the animal.

    摘要: The invention relates to an MR method for examining a cyclically changing object where a first and a second sequence act on the object during a cycle. When very many cycles are required so as to complete the second MR data set, a two-dimensional image can be reconstructed from the MR data of the first sequence so as to utilize such a two-dimensional image for monitoring purposes or as a navigator image.

    摘要: In a processing system for an MRT apparatus, a user interface as presented that permits an operator to undertake a graphical measurement planning based on already-recorded, corrected MRT overview images, the correction having been carried out by the processing system on the basis of stored data accessible by the processing system relating to non-linearities of the gradient system of the MRT apparatus being used. The processor system, in the user interface, automatically graphically demarcates the area of the corrected MRT overview image in which a positioning of additional slices to be measured will lead to a deviation of the desired slices, from the actual slices in a subsequent scan from the ear of the corrected MRT overview image in which a positioning of additional slices to be measured will not lead to such a deviation of the desired slices.
