摘要: A magnetic resonance (MR) acquisition acceleration method is provided. The method includes, for each acquisition of a plurality of acquisitions, generating an excitation radio frequency (RF) pulse that excites a plurality of slices, applying, to a subject by an MR system, the excitation RF pulse, and acquiring MR signals of the plurality of slices. A number of slices in the plurality of slices is not a power of two, wherein generating an excitation RF pulse further includes modulating a base excitation RF pulse with a different modulation function during each acquisition. A number of acquisitions is equal to the number of slices, and MR signals from each acquisition are algebraic combinations of MR signals of individual slices. The method also includes reconstructing MR images of individual slices based on the MR signals from the plurality of acquisitions, and outputting the reconstructed images of the individual slices.

摘要: A system for MRI is provided. The system may obtain a plurality of sets of under-sampled k-space data corresponding to a plurality of frames. Each set of under-sampled k-space data may be acquired simultaneously from a plurality of slice locations of a subject in one of the frames using an MRI scanner. The system may reconstruct a plurality of reference slice images based on the sets of under-sampled k-space data of the plurality of frames. Each of the reference slice images may be representative of one of the slice locations in more than one frame of the frames. The system may further reconstruct a plurality of image series based on the sets of under-sampled k-space data and the reference slice images. Each image series may correspond to one of the slice locations and include a plurality of slice images of the corresponding slice location in the plurality of frames.

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: A system and method is provided using a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system. The method includes applying an off-resonance radio frequency (RF) pulse using a radio-frequency coil that is spatially inhomogeneous to induce a B1-dependent resonant frequency shift in spins in a subject and, in the presence of the off-resonance RF pulse, applying a frequency-modulated, frequency-selective RF excitation pulse to spatially encode the spins in the subject. The method also includes acquiring NMR data from the subject that is spatially encoded and reconstructing the NMR data to produce a report of internal materials forming the subject.

摘要: In a method for slice-specific correction of scan data recorded for at least two slices simultaneously of an examination object using an EPI-SMS technique, navigator signals encoded in a slice selection direction using a bipolar readout gradient for the at least two slices temporally after a RF excitation pulse radiated into the examination object and temporally before the recording of scan data to be corrected may be simultaneously recorded. Mean navigator signal(s) from at least two of the recorded navigator signals of a same polarity may be determined. Single-slice navigator signals may be determined based on the mean navigator signal and a navigator signal having been recorded with the same polarity as the mean navigator signal(s), but with a different slice selection encoding. Slice-specific correction data from the single-slice navigator signals may be determined, and scan data may be corrected based on the slice-specific correction data.

摘要: Techniques are provided for operating a magnetic resonance tomography unit. The operation includes determining a B0 field map, determining an excitation of the nuclear spins that is to be achieved, and determining a spectrally selective, generic excitation pulse for transmission by the transmitter via the antenna in dependence upon the B0 field map. The generic excitation pulse is designed to generate the excitation of the nuclear spins that is to be achieved in the patient except for local differences. The operation also comprises determining a spectrally selective, dynamic excitation pulse for transmission by the transmitter via the antenna in dependence upon the B0 field map. The excitation pulse is designed so as to compensate the local differences and thus to generate the excitation of the nuclear spins that is to be achieved in the patient, and outputting the excitation pulse via the antenna.
