Abstract: In an RF spoiling method and apparatus for rapid spatial saturation in magnetic resonance imaging, a first RF pulse of a spatial saturation module is applied, and a first set of RF pulses of an imaging sequence is applied after the first RF pulse. A phase of an RF pulse, closest to the first RF pulse in the time dimension, in the first set of RF pulses is not coherent with a phase of the first RF pulse. This makes a phase cycle of the spatial saturation module and a phase cycle of the imaging sequence independent of each other, so the coherence of residual signals in the transverse plane can be destroyed more effectively, thereby reducing artefacts, and improving imaging quality.
