Method And Apparatus For Enhanced Magnetic Preparation In Mr Imaging
View pageUS Patent:
7714575, May 11, 2010
Filed:
Apr 7, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/098866
Inventors:
Manojkumar Saranathan - Rochester MN, US
Thomas K. F. Foo - Clifton Park NY, US
Thomas K. F. Foo - Clifton Park NY, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
G01V 3/00
US Classification:
324309, 324300
Abstract:
The present invention provides a system and method of enhanced magnetic preparation in MR imaging. An imaging technique is disclosed such that k-space is segmented into a number of partitions, wherein the central regions of k-space is acquired prior to the periphery of k-space. The imaging technique also includes the application of magnetic preparation pulses at a variable rate. In this regard, the rate of application of magnetic preparations pulses is varied as a function of the distance from the center of k-space. The amplitude of the magnetic preparation pulses is also varied based on the incremental distance of a partition from the center of k-space.

Assignee:
General Electric Company - Schenectady NY
International Classification:
G01V 3/00
US Classification:
324309, 324307
Abstract:
A method of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging includes segmenting a k-kplane comprising a plurality of encoding points into a plurality of annular segments. For each annular segment, a view ordering is defined based on a polar angle associated with each encoding point contained within the annular segment. MR data is acquired for the plurality of encoding points based on the view ordering for each annular segment and at least one MR image is generated using the acquired MR data.
