Abstract

Les données pour la formation d'image incluant des signaux de RMN sont acquises en continu. Lorsqu'on recueille des données de balayage, une pluralité d'ensemble de données de correction sont acquises dans un cycle défini. Un groupe de données de correction correspondant au moment d'acquisition est créé à partir des ensembles de données de correction, et les données pour la formation de l'image sont corrigées à chaque moment d'acquisition correspondant par utilisation du groupe de données de correction. Ainsi, les données pour la formation de l'image sont corrigées par estimation de rotation de phase du moment d'acquisition, et pour cette raison, une image de résonance magnétique stable est générée, même dans une condition d'imagerie où la phase du signal varie avec le temps en fonction de la variation des courants de Foucault et de l'état de saturation du spin.
