3 results about "Fat saturation" patented technology

The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for acquiring magnetic resonance data with a magnetic resonance device (18), wherein a magnetic resonance sequence is used in which, during an equilibrium state in a sequence segment maintained by regular excitation modules (9, 9a - 9e) with at least one excitation pulse, both a first readout time window (11, 11a - 11e) immediately following an excitation module (9, 9a - 9e) for measuring magnetic resonance data of a free induction decay and second readout time windows (12, 12a - 12e), which are spaced at least the first readout duration of the first readout time window (11, 11a - 11e) from a last excitation module (9, 9a - 9e), which acts as a refocusing module for the penultimate excitation module (9, 9a - 9e), are used for measuring magnetic resonance data of a spin echo. become,wherein, between at least one pair consisting of a starting excitation module (9c) and a final excitation module (9d) that follow one another, a fat saturation module (15) with at least one high-frequency fat saturation pulse (16) is output in the magnetic resonance sequence during a preparation period (14).

Disclosed in the present invention are a 3D navigator-based 3D gradient spin-echo diffusion imaging method, and a device. The method comprises: first, using a global saturation module to destroy previous residual transverse magnetization; second, by means of a diffusion encoding module, embedding a pair of trapezoidal cosine oscillation gradients or pulse gradients into radio frequency pulses of 90°x-180°y-90°-x, and separating diffusion encoding from signal acquisition; then using a fat saturation module to suppress a fat signal; using a 3D gradient spin-echo readout method to acquire an image signal; and finally, acquiring a 3D navigation echo signal in the last spin echo for correcting a phase error between multiple excitations. The present invention can effectively eliminate phase errors between multiple acquisitions and realize high-resolution whole-brain diffusion imaging. Compared with 2D echo planar imaging, the present invention increases the signal-to-noise ratio of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging, thereby supporting higher-resolution whole-brain 3D diffusion magnetic resonance imaging.
