  • Patent number: 8842897
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the quantification of the image quality of at least one tomographic picture of an object, wherein at least one tomographic cross-sectional image is produced using a cross-sectional imaging method, in particular a magnetic resonance tomography method. As a measure of the image quality in a cross-sectional image, an image detail is measured, in particular the width of a boundary between two adjacent areas is determined, in particular with the signal intensity remaining constant in each such area, in particular said signal intensity remaining constant at least within predetermined/predeterminable boundaries.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110105890
    Abstract: A magnetic-resonance imager is operated by, within the time of a R-R interval of the heart, carrying out a preparation sequence for suppressing signal contributions from the blood is carried out, in particular by a saturation sequence. At least the first refocusing pulse is generated simultaneously with a layer-selective gradient magnetic field that acts orthogonally to the layer-selective gradient magnetic field at the time of the generation of the RF excitation pulse. In addition the measuring value acquisition and image generation takes place by means of subsampling the data space and/or partially sampling the data space.
