摘要： A system uses a three-dimensional spoiled gradient recalled echo sequence for fat suppression with reduced total acquisition time suitable for acquiring image data under breath-hold conditions using a reversed asymmetry during data acquisition on an opposed phase echo. A system reduces RF pulse repetition time in an MR imaging pulse sequence in an MR imaging device. The system includes an RF pulse generator for generating an RF excitation pulse sequence having a pulse repetition interval. A read-out gradient magnetic field generator generates an asymmetric read-out gradient magnetic field having a readout gradient mid-point occurring prior to an RF echo pulse peak. The RF echo pulse peak is received in response to a generated RF excitation pulse.

摘要： In a method and apparatus for time-resolved acquisition of magnetic resonance (MR) data, an examination subject is continuously moved through the examination region of an MR scanner, and MR signals are acquired. Prior to the acquisition of MR signals, a phase coding that corresponds to a position for data entry in k-space is carried out. An interruption of the movement of the subject takes place at a predetermined table position, and the acquisition of MR signals is continued over the course of a predetermined time period, while the subject is at rest in the predetermined position. At least while the subject is at rest, the phase coding causes acquisition of a predetermined number of MR signals for filling a first region of k-space to alternate with MR data and a predetermined number of MR signals for filling a second region of k-space.

摘要： A fast, efficient, qualitatively high-grade shim is enabled in a magnetic resonance apparatus having a displaceable patient bed and an examination region of the patient that is to be examined is larger than an imaging region of the magnetic resonance apparatus. Field inhomogeneities are measured while the examination region is moved through the imaging region by a continuous displacement of the patient bed with the patient positioned thereon. Information representing field inhomogeneities is acquired at multiple positions of the patient bed from respective magnetic resonance signals received at these positions, by excitation of multiple respective slices before the readout of the echo of the first of these slices, with one echo train composed of multiple echoes being generated per excitation signal. Shim parameters of the magnetic resonance apparatus are adjusted dependent on the measured information.

摘要： In a method to select an undersampling scheme of k-space and an associated set of reconstruction kernels to acquire reduced magnetic resonance (MR) data sets with multiple coils, a calibration data set is acquired for each of the respective coils, a noise covariance is determined from autocorrelations and correlations of the noise of the various coils. At least one set of reconstruction kernels is calculated for each of the multiple undersampling schemes from the calibration data sets of the various coils. For each set of reconstruction kernels, a characteristic value is calculated from the noise covariance and the respective reconstruction kernels of the coils, with the characteristic value being proportional to a spatial mean value of a signal noise of an MR image. A selected undersampling scheme and a selected set of reconstruction kernels are selected based on the calculated characteristic values.

摘要： Embodiments relate to evaluating properties of tissues with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A MR image is used to measure a characteristic that influences a particular chemical property of a tissue. In an exemplary embodiment, tissue transverse relaxation values or relaxation rates, which can readily be measured from MR images, are used to evaluate iron deposition in tissue. Iron deposition influences the tissue transverse relaxation values (T2 or T2*) or relaxation rates (R2=1/T2 or R2*=1/T2*). A clinically relevant R2CR* map is calculated based on the known values of the effective R2eff*, the water R2w*, and the fat R2f* by incorporating the most relevant value for each individual image element of a plurality of image elements of an MR image of the tissue. The clinically relevant R2CR* map provides an accurate evaluation of iron deposition in any region of the tissue with the use of one map.
