  • Patent number: 12618926
    Abstract: Preventing blood flow artifacts from being increased in an imaging plane allows reduction of the blood flow artifacts in the cross section subsequently excited. In the imaging using a spin-echo (SE) pulse sequence, an excitation width of a 90° pulse is extended from an imaging plane to one side. This one side indicates a downstream side of the blood flow with respect to a vessel of interest. In imaging multiple slices, the order of measuring the multiple imaging slices is set along the direction in which the width is extended.

  • Patent number: 12553974
    Abstract: In MRI using an SE-based pulse sequence, an object is to suppress flow artifacts and acquire a flow artifact-free image regardless a velocity or a direction of blood flow. A pair of gradient magnetic field pulses are applied before and after a 180-degree pulse of the SE-based pulse sequence, and a plurality of times of imaging are performed using varying intensities of the pair of gradient magnetic field pulses. Image reconstruction is performed by performing a Fourier transformation on measurement data obtained through the plurality of times of imaging in an axial direction of the intensities of the gradient magnetic field pulses, that is, a velocity encoding direction. As a result, images can be separated for each velocity of a stationary tissue and a non-stationary component included in tissues, and an image of spins with a velocity of zero, that is, a flow artifact-free image of the stationary tissue, can be obtained.
