Title:
z方向の周波数エンコードを伴うテーブル移動式MRI
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4166068
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
The slab thickness is selected to be smaller than desired field-of-view (FOV) and within optimal imaging volume of a magnetic resonance (MR) scanner. The scanner and an object are continuously moved in the Z-direction, while spins are repeatedly excited and encoded. Data restricted to the selected slab thickness is acquired till an image of FOV is reconstructed. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) MRI apparatus; (2) Medical image scanner control program.
