  • Method and a MRI apparatus for obtaining images of a target volume of a human and/or animal subject using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
    Patent number: 11112479
    Abstract: The invention also relates to a MRI apparatus for obtaining images of a target volume of a human and/or animal subject using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), said MRI apparatus at least comprising: a housing defining a target area for accommodating said human and/or animal subject; at least one main magnet unit and at least one magnetic gradient unit for applying—during use—one or more magnetic field gradients along three independent orthogonal spatial axes in said target area, as well as at least one radiofrequency (RF) pulse generation unit for applying one or more sets of RF pulses towards said target area; a RF receiving unit for acquiring MRI signals possibly having multi-channel spatially sensitive characteristics; and a computer processing unit for processing said acquired MRI signals and for producing said magnetic resonance image data.

  • Magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, evaluation device, and method
    Patent number: 8994372
    Abstract: An image is generated from data acquired with a magnetic resonance tomography, wherein nuclear spins in an excitation region are excited with different transmission modes and a common image is generated from the response signals.
