摘要： Image artifacts produced by residual magnetization in elements of the gradient field amplifier system are reduced by driving the residual magnetization to a preselected value at the end of each imaging pulse sequence. Reset gradient pulses are produced by the gradient field amplifier system after each signal is acquired to drive the residual magnetization to a selected value. A number of different reset gradient waveforms may be used, and they may be produced in a number of different ways.

摘要： A magnetic resonance imaging system has a primary set of whole-body gradient coils and a supplemental set of gradient coils. The supplemental gradient coils are employed to produce imaging gradients when fast imaging pulse sequences are performed, and the primary set of gradient coils are employed when interleaved saturation or navigator signals pulse sequences are performed during a scan.

摘要： A method is presented for correcting Maxwell term error artifacts produced by an NMR system during the production of either a phase contrast angiogram or a complex difference angiogram. Phase corrections are made to the reconstructed phase image to eliminate the artifacts. Correction coefficients calculated from the flow encoding magnetic gradient waveforms of the phase contrast pulse sequence are used in a polynomial to calculate a set of phase error corrections. These corrections are then used to adjust the phase at each pixel of the angiogram image.

摘要： A technique is disclosed for calibrating time delays between RF and gradient frequency pulses in a magnetic resonance imaging system. The calibration procedure includes the formation of calibration images of a phantom positioned in the gradient field system. Calibration images are processed and compared to one another to determine deviation between locations in the gradient field system and the impact of radio frequency-to-gradient waveform time delays on the deviations. Optimal time delays are identified which minimize the deviations between the calibration images. Multiple axes of the system may be calibrated through the use of symmetrical phantoms and similar pulse sequences of each axis. A spectral-spatial pulse sequence is employed bearing the calibration routine.

摘要： An MRI system has two sets of gradient coils driven by two corresponding sets of gradient amplifiers. Logical gradient waveforms produced during a pulse sequence are rotated to produce corresponding physical gradient waveforms and these are distributed to drive both sets of coils simultaneously. Each distributed set of physical gradient waveforms is separately compensated for Eddy current errors, and a polarizing field Eddy current compensation signal is produced and used to modulate the RF reference frequency of the system transceiver.

摘要： An MRI system automatically performs a calibration procedure to calculate optimal compensation parameter values for all three gradient pre-emphasis filters. A single fixture is employed to measure the errors caused by gradient pulses produced by each of the three gradient systems. The measured errors are used to calculate a gradient error function and the optimal compensation parameter values are calculated for each pre-emphasis filter by finding the minimum in the gradient error function.
