Abstract
【課題】中低磁場MRIでSSFPシーケンスを用いた水脂肪分離画像の撮像に於いて、静磁場不均一による周波数アーチファクトを消去した分離画像を実現する方法を提供する。
【解決手段】定常自由歳差運動(SSFP)の釣り合いがとれた状態の水−脂肪が選別された磁気共鳴(MR)画像が作り出される。取得されたSSFP信号は、多重エコー成分に分離される。この多重エコー成分の中では、水信号及び脂肪信号との間の位相配置が、SSFPイメージングシーケンスのTR及びTEの値を適切に選択すすることで制御される。この分離されたエコー成分から、場の不均一性の影響は修正され、水画像及び脂肪画像は選別される。
【選択図】 図3
Description
磁気共鳴イメージング(MRI)は、よく知られる磁気共鳴現象の様な核磁気共鳴(NMR)に影響されやすい原子核の実質的集合体を有する被検体(例えば、人体)についての内部構造を表すデジタル化された可視的画像を取得するために、広く受け入れられ商業的にも有効な非侵襲性技術である。MRIにおいては、原子核に強い主磁場(B0)を印加することで、映像対象となる患者の体内の原子核を偏極させる。
