Magnetic resonance imaging uses a pulse sequence formed to include a pre-pulse, an RF excitation pulse, an encoding gradient pulse, and a reading gradient pulse. The encoding gradient pulse has an encoding amount determined to allow a data acquisition position in a k-space to be directed outward from a center of the k-space. A train of pulses including the RF excitation pulse, the encoding gradient pulse, and the reading gradient pulse is repeated to allow the number of times of data acquisition in the k-space to become larger as approaching to a central region of the k-space. The pre-pulse is formed to be reduced in an application rate to the RF excitation pulse as approaching to an outward position in the k-space. By way of example, this pulse sequence is used for contrast enhanced MRA carried out under a dynamic scan.

The DCC (Data Consistency Condition) algorithm is used in combination with MLAA (Maximum Likelihood reconstruction of Attenuation and Activity) to generate extended attenuation correction maps for nuclear medicine imaging studies. MLAA and DCC are complementary algorithms that can be used to determine the accuracy of the mu-map based on PET data. MLAA helps to estimate the mu-values based on the biodistribution of the tracer while DCC checks if the consistency conditions are met for a given mu-map. These methods are combined to get a better estimation of the mu-values. In gated MR / PET cardiac studies, the PET data is framed into multiple gates and a series of MR based mu-maps corresponding to each gate is generated. The PET data from all gates is combined. Once the extended mu-map is generated the central region is replaced with the MR based mu-map corresponding to that particular gate. On the other hand, in dynamic PET studies the uptake in the patient's arms reaches a steady state only after the tracer distributes throughout the body. Hence, for dynamic scans, the projection data of all frames is summed and used to generate the MLAA based extended mu-map for all frames.

According to the method, the combined image serves as the guiding image, the noise of the single-frame dynamic PET image can be effectively reduced, and the quality of the dynamic PET image can be greatly improved.

The circuit and method providing dynamic scan chain partitioning delivers peak power reduction by dynamically partitioning scan chains into multiple groups, wherein transitions are equally distributed among these multiple groups.
