    • A single-circuit quadrature surface coil is formed from two ladder resonator coils and includes a first mode circuit path for detecting or generating magnetic flux in a vertical axis from a body under investigation and a second mode circuit path for detecting or generating magnetic flux in a parallel axis, with the first mode and second mode currents 90 degrees out of phase. The surface coil, which supports two resonance current modes for quadrature operation on only one single coil conductor structure, provides a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and a good B.sub.1 homogeneity over the imaging volume. This coil alone may be used either for both transmitting and receiving RF signals or for detecting RF signals as "receive only." This coil is well suited for imaging the human neck, spine and heart.

    • Within a selected slice or slab, diffusion sensitizing gradients (54, 56) and read gradients (66, 68) are induced along each of a pair of orthogonal axes (G.sub.x, G.sub.y). The motion sensitizing gradient pulses sensitize excited magnetic resonance to diffusion in a preselected diffusion direction (D) which is orthogonal to a selected read gradient direction. The diffusion sensitizing gradients are rotated by sin(.theta.+.pi./2) and cos(.theta.+.pi./2) and the read gradients are rotated by sin.theta. and cos.theta. to generate a plurality of angularly displaced data lines. The diffusion sensitivity direction remains perpendicular to the read direction in each of the angularly displaced data lines. The phase of each data line is determined (90) and shifted (94) to compensate for linear translations. The data values within each data line are shifted (86) to center the peak amplitude of the data line at a preselected position to compensate for higher order motion. The set of angularly incremented data lines are reconstructed (96) into an image representation (98). In one embodiment, a plurality of the images are generated, each from data lines with their peak value shifted to a location which is offset by a fraction of a sample relative to the data lines which constructed the other images. Corresponding patches of these corresponding images are examined (110) for phase. Based on the examination, the one of the corresponding patches with the best image quality is transferred to a final image memory (114). In this manner, the final image is made up of the best patches of a plurality of corresponding images.

    • When a magnetic resonance imaging sequence is retrieved from memory (58), one of the slice select, phase-encode to read gradient profiles are retrieved for one of the slice select, phase-encode, read gradients. The two gradient profiles have a common field of view if a read gradient or slice thickness if a slice select gradient, but have different motion sensitizations. The reference gradient profile G.sub.1 stored in a memory (52) and the motion sensitized gradient profile G.sub.2 stored in a memory (56) are weighted (60, 62) by weighting functions .alpha..sub.1, .alpha..sub.2 which are selected in accordance with the selected motion sensitivity and a selected one of the field of view or slice thickness. The weighted profiles are combined (64) to generate a motion sensitized gradient with the selected motion sensitivity, field of view or slice thickness. The combined weighted gradient profile and the reference gradient profile are used in imaging sequences to generate reference and motion sensitized data lines (82, 84) which are reconstructed (86) into a reference image representation and a motion sensitized image representation. A moving tissue only image representation can be obtained (88) as well.

    • In a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, a radio frequency coil (40) is disposed closely adjacent the patient's head. The radio frequency coil includes a first annular ring (80, 114) around the patient's head from which a first plurality of legs (82, 116) extend. Opposite legs are interconnected equidistant from the first annular ring to form a virtual ground connection (84, 118). In the embodiment of FIG. 6, a second annular ring (120) is disposed parallel to the first annular ring with a second plurality of legs (122) extending between the first and second annular rings. By adjusting a ratio .rho. of the current flow in the loops defined by the first legs, the first annular ring and virtual ground relative to the current loops defined by the second legs and the first and second annular rings, the linearity of the B.sub.1 field within the head coil is selectively adjustable (FIG. 8).

    • Magnetic resonance is excited (50) in first and second species dipoles of a subject in a temporally constant magnetic field. The resonance is refocused (52) to generate a spin echo (54) centered at a time when the first and second species resonance signals are in-phase. Gradients echoes (64, 68) are generated, centered at a time (2n+1).pi./.delta..omega. before and after the spin echo, where .delta..omega. is a difference between the first and second species resonance frequencies. In this manner, the first and second species signals are 180.degree. out-of-phase in the gradient echoes. The resonance is refocused (82) one or more times to generate additional spin and gradient echoes with different phase encodings (78). The sequence is repeated with yet more phase encodings, and magnetic resonance signals from the spin echo and the two gradient echoes are reconstructed (86) into a spin echo image (s.sub.0) and a pair of gradient echo images (s.sub.+1, s.sub.-1). A phase map is generated (90) from the spin and gradient echo images. One of the gradient echo images is corrected (116) with the phase map. The phase corrected gradient image is additively combined (118) with the spin echo image to generate a first species image (112) and is subtractively combined (120) to generate a second species image (114).
    • 在时间上恒定的磁场中,磁共振在受试者的第一和第二物种偶极中被激发(50)。 共振被重新聚焦(52)以产生以第一和第二种类共振信号同相为中心的时间的自旋回波(54)。 生成梯度回波(64,68),以自旋回波之前和之后的时间(2n + 1)pi /deltaω为中心,其中Δω是第一和第二种类共振频率之间的差。 以这种方式,第一和第二种类信号在梯度回波中为180°异相。 共振重新聚焦(82)一次或多次以产生具有不同相位编码的额外的自旋和梯度回波(78)。 用更多的相位编码重复序列,并将来自自旋回波和两个梯度回波的磁共振信号重建(86)到自旋回波图像(s0)和一对梯度回波图像(s + 1,s- 1)。 从旋转和渐变回波图像生成相位图(90)。 梯度回波图像之一用相位图校正(116)。 将相位校正的梯度图像与自旋回波图像相加地组合(118)以产生第一物种图像(112)并被减法组合(120)以产生第二物种图像(114)。

    • An alegebraic reconstruction matrix generator (90) generates an algebraic reconstruction matrix P. A gradient trajectory memory (94) contains elements k.sub.n which describe the k-space trajectory of a time-varying read gradient wave form. An A-matrix generator (96) generates a coefficient matrix A from the elements k.sub.n. A D-matrix generator (100) generates a diagonal matrix D having elements d.sub.n. Using the elements of matrices A and D, an H-matrix generator creates a matrix H. An inverter (110) inverts the matrix to obtain H.sup.-1. A transposer (112) transposes matrix A to obtain A.sup.T. A multiplication processor (114) combines H.sup.-1, A.sup.T, and D to obtain the algebraic reconstruction matrix P. A multiplication processor (122) then combines the matrix P and an array of image data lines b to generate an image matrix array X which is stored in an image memory (124). A one-dimensional column Fourier transform processor and associated memory (125) transforms and stores the image matrix array. A video processor (126) converts the image matrix array into an appropriate format for display on a video monitor (130). The image data sampling can be performed at previously unused portions of a read gradient wave form, thus reducing image acquisition time.
