Title:
MR electrical property tomogram
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6030143
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of MR imaging of an object (10) placed in an examination volume of a MR device (1). It is an object of the invention to enable improved electrical properties tomography. The invention proposes that the method comprises the steps of:—subjecting the object (10) to two or more imaging sequences for acquiring MR signals, wherein the imaging sequences each comprise at least one RF pulse and at least one switched magnetic field gradient; reconstructing two or more MR phase images from MR signals acquired by means of imaging sequences comprising switched magnetic field gradients of opposed polarity; deriving a spatial distribution of electrical properties of the object (10) from the MR phase images.
