Embodiment one
Fig. 2 is a kind of flow chart for MR imaging method that the embodiment of the present invention one provides.The technical side of the present embodiment Case goes for carrying out the situation of magnetic resonance imaging.This method specifically includes following operation:
S110, the scanning chamber or scanning area that target site to be scanned is moved to MR imaging apparatus, and by institute At least two three-dimensional piecemeals can be divided into by stating target site, and each three-dimensional piecemeal includes multiple (2D) lamellas.In one embodiment In, position to be scanned corresponding to three-dimensional piecemeal includes the along the long axis direction system direction of principal axis of chamber (scanning) extension of scanning chamber One piecemeal, the second piecemeal.Certainly, the long axis direction in the application can also use the above-below direction of person under inspection's target site/from the beginning arrive Pin direction replaces.
Three-dimensional piecemeal is the part in the target organ with volume.Target organ to be scanned can be had in human body There is the organ of at least two independent structures, each corresponding three-dimensional piecemeal of independent structure;It can also be an organ At least two parts, the division of specific each section can be divided at least two isometric parts according to the volume of organ, Can also be equidistant to be divided at least two parts, the corresponding three-dimensional point of each section according to the axis in organ cross section Block.It is exemplary, by the head of people according to head cross section axis it is equidistant be divided into three parts, i.e., target organ Division is for three three-dimensional piecemeals.Target organ is divided at least two three-dimensional piecemeals, it is possible to achieve to the more of target organ Piecemeal synchronous scanning, shorten sweep time.
Wherein, the target organ to be scanned can include:Double lower limb or double upper limbs.Double lower limb or double upper limbs have only The vertical structure of left and right two, each structure can correspond to a three-dimensional piecemeal, then described to move target organ to be scanned To scanning area, and the target organ is divided at least two three-dimensional piecemeals included:
The double lower limb or double upper limbs are moved to scanning area, the double lower limb or double upper limbs are divided into left-right direction The corresponding three-dimensional piecemeal of two three-dimensional piecemeals, wherein left upper extremity or left lower extremity, right upper extremity or the corresponding three-dimensional point of right lower extremity Block.Further, for double upper limbs, left upper extremity can correspond to the first piecemeal, and right upper extremity can correspond to the second piecemeal;For double For lower limb, left lower extremity can correspond to the first piecemeal, and right lower extremity can correspond to the second piecemeal.
S120, using radio-frequency pulse excite described at least two three-dimensional piecemeals simultaneously, obtain corresponding to the three-dimensional piecemeal Magnetic resonance signal.
By radio-frequency pulse while each three-dimensional piecemeal is excited, the atomic nucleus in each three-dimensional piecemeal is due to the work of radio-frequency pulse With spin is produced, so as to obtain magnetic resonance signal corresponding to each piecemeal.It is achieved in, the piecemeal of target organ is synchronously adopted Collection, improve the picking rate of magnetic resonance signal.Wherein, the parameter phase of the radio-frequency pulse of described at least two three-dimensional piecemeals is excited Together.The parameter includes the amplitude intensity and frequency of pulse.It is possible thereby to ensure that each three-dimensional piecemeal is in identical RF pulse-to-pulse Rush in environment.
