Title:
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING DEVICE AND BLOOD FLOW DRAWING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/009844
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In order to obtain images having a high blood vessel extractability in each cardiac phase, when imaging using the cine-PC method, an MRI device comprises: a magnetic resonance imaging unit that collects magnetic resonance signals; a control unit that controls the magnetic resonance imaging unit in accordance with a pulse sequence; and a signal processing unit that creates an image of an inspection target, using the magnetic resonance signals collected by the magnetic resonance imaging unit and time phase information related to the movement of the inspection target. The control unit: comprises, as a pulse sequence, an imaging sequence (cine-PC sequence) that includes the application of a flow encode pulse and obtains an echo signal for each time phase; and performs control such that the amount of flow encode pulse applied in the imaging sequence differs depending on the time phase.
