Definitions
- the present invention relates to a data collection method for MR angiography, and more particularly, to an MR angiography that can obtain a good angiographic image without motion artifacts even if the number of averages of measured data is arbitrarily selected. Data collection for evening.
- FIG. 4 shows a conventional example of a data acquisition method for MR angiography.
- FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of a method for collecting MR angiography data proposed by Dumoulin et al. In FRapid Scan Magnetic Resonance Angiography (Mag. Eeson. Med. 1987; 5: 38-45) J.
- the integer a closest to the value of ⁇ heartbeat period T / (scan repetition time TR) ⁇ is defined as the average number of times, and scans with the same warp value are averaged number of times a.
- the mxa set data is collected by repeating the scan for the same warp value and collecting data for the a-set, and repeating such scans for the m-step warp value.
- the blood flow velocity at each step of the warp value becomes the average blood flow velocity of one heartbeat, and there is no difference between the steps. I can do it.
- t is approximately equal to the period T of the heartbeat, which is about 1 second.
- the number of steps is, for example, 256. Therefore, in this case, the data collection time is about 256 seconds.
- the number of averagings a must be selected so that the product of TR and the product of TR almost coincides with one cycle of the heartbeat. There is. Also, since a is a large value, the total data collection time becomes longer.
- an object of the present invention is to provide an MR angiography data acquisition method that can arbitrarily select the number of averaging times a and can obtain a good angiographic image without motion artifacts with a small value of a. Is to provide.
- the data acquisition method of MR angiography is a method of MR angiography that performs a scan of m warp values, performs averaging a number of times for each warp value a times, and decomposes mx a set.
- n successive scans are performed by changing the warp value one after another. Such a scan is repeated the number of times of averaging a to collect nxa sets of data, and this is repeated for all warp values to collect mxa sets of data.
- the scan power averaging count a for n steps of warp values is repeated within a time period substantially equal to the period T of the heartbeat.
- the scanning of the same warp value is performed at a timing such that the period T of the heartbeat is substantially equal to the averaging frequency a.
- the blood flow velocity in each step of the warp value is close to the average blood flow velocity in one heartbeat, and the power of difference between the steps is reduced. Therefore, the value of the averaging count a can be arbitrarily selected. Also, despite the small value of a, a good angiographic image without motion artifacts can be obtained. By this, the averaging count a To reduce data collection time. (Brief description of drawings)
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an MRI apparatus for implementing the MR angiography data collection method of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a data acquisition method for MR angiography according to the present invention. .
- FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of scanning timing according to the MR angiography data collection method of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are explanatory diagrams of scan timing by a conventional MR angiography data collection method.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an MRI apparatus 1 for implementing the MR angiography data collection method of the present invention.
- the computer 2 controls the entire operation based on instructions from the console 13.
- a static magnetic field space for accommodating the subject is formed inside the magnet assembly 5.
- the sequence controller 3 operates the gradient magnetic field drive circuit 4 based on the stored sequence, and the gradient magnetic field inside the magnet assembly 5.
- a gradient magnetic field is generated in the static magnetic field space by the coil. Further, it controls the gate modulation circuit 7, modulates the RF pulse generated by the RF oscillation circuit 6 into a predetermined waveform, and adds the RF pulse to the transmission coil inside the magnet assembly 5 from the RF power amplifier 8.
- the transmitting coil forms an RF rotating magnetic field in the static magnetic field space.
- the NMR signal from the subject obtained by the receiving coil inside the magnet assembly 5 is input to the phase detector 10 via the preamplifier 9, Through the AD converter 1 1 Input to Calculator 2.
- the computer 2 reconstructs an image based on the NMR signal data obtained from the AD converter 11 and displays the image in a table 12.
- An example of an MR angiography data collection method according to an embodiment of the present invention is performed by a procedure stored in the computer 2 and the sequence controller 3.
- FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an MR angiodarafi data collection method according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- step S1 the user sets the averaging count a arbitrarily using the console 13.
- steps S4 and S5 scanning for the warp steps #l to #n is first repeated a times. In this example, scanning for steps # 1 to # 4 is repeated twice.
