Patent Searching and Data


Title:
磁気共鳴映像のジオメトリ乱れの補正方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006521857
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A method and apparatus to concurrently acquire two sets of image data during the same image data acquisition interval in which the magnetic field (2) associated with acquisition of the first data set is caused to differ from the magnetic field (3) associated with acquisition of the second data set. A repeated change of the magnetic field in a pre-determined manner is done during the continuous acquisition of image data comprising the two sets. The relationship between the differing magnetic fields, most preferably the relationship between differing gradient fields, may then be employed in conjunction with the first and second data sets to correct image distortions arising in images constructed according to the data in either set alone.
