[0044] A first embodiment will be described according to the present invention.

[0045]

[0046] figure 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0047] like figure 1 As shown in , the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus 1 of this embodiment has a scanning part 2 and an operation console part 3 .

[0048] Scanning section 2 will be described.

[0049] like figure 1 As shown in , the scanning part 2 has a static field magnet unit 12 , a gradient coil unit 13 , an RF coil unit or part 14 , a carriage 15 , an RF driver 22 , a gradient driver 23 and a data acquisition unit 24 . Here, the scanning section 2 executes an imaging sequence IS for transmitting an RF pulse to the subject SU so that spins in the subject SU are excited in the imaging space B formed with a static magnetic field, and transmits a gradient pulse to the subject SU that has been subjected to t...

Abstract

The invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging apparatue and magnetic resonance imaging method. With the objective of generating an imaging area including fluid with desired image quality at a subject and enhancing image quality, a first inversion recovery pulse is transmitted so as to invert spins in a second subject region which includes a first subject region used as the imaging area and is broader than the first subject region, before execution of a pulse sequence corresponding to an FSE method at every TR in an imaging sequence. After the execution of the pulse sequence corresponding to the FSE method, a second refocus pulse is transmitted so as to cause spins in a third subject region including the first subject region and wider than the first subject region to reconverge. A fast recovery pulse is transmitted to selectively recover spins in the first subject region. Thereafter, a second inversion recovery pulse is transmitted so as to invert the spins in the second subject region.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus and a magnetic resonance imaging method. In particular, the present invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and a magnetic resonance imaging method that perform scanning to repeatedly perform scanning, including the corresponding Imaging sequence of a pulse sequence of the fast spin echo (FSE) method that sequentially emits excitation pulses corresponding to RF (radio frequency) pulses with a flip angle of 90°, and each corresponding to an RF pulse with a flip angle of 180° A plurality of refocusing pulses of RF pulses, thereby obtaining magnetic resonance signals generated in an imaging region including a fluid of a subject, and generating an image about the imaging region based on the magnetic resonance signals obtained by performing the scan. Background technique [0002] Magnetic resonance imaging apparatuses have been used in various fields involving...
