  • Magnetic resonance imaging method with pulse sequence optimization and device for such method
    Patent number: 5758646
    Abstract: A method for magnetic resonance imaging is described in which imaging sequences, consisting of RF- and gradient magnetic field pulses (RF, G.sub.x, G.sub.y, G.sub.z) are optimized with respect to a relevant parameter (SAR, signal-to-noise, etcetera) prior to applying the RF- and gradient pulse sequence to the object or patient (7) to be imaged. This reduces the amount of different sequences to a limited number of basic sequences from which an operator has to choose and allows adaptation of the sequence to the particular image to be obtained.
