Abstract
Description
有利に、磁化プレパレーションサブシーケンス40は空間的に選択的である、即ち、スライス選択勾配は採用されない。結果として、心臓領域等の速い血流の領域でさえフローアーティファクトを実質的に抑制又は削除する選択されたスライスのみにおいてではなく、全体的な励起ボリュームにおいて、短いT2*種は抑制される。プレパレーションサブシーケンス40はT2*コントラストを与えるため、磁気共鳴撮像データを収集するように用いられる続く撮像シーケンス42は、実質的に何れの種類も有することが可能である。例えば、MR撮像サブシーケンス42は、選択されたアプリケーションについて適切であるように、フローアーティファクトに対して最適なSNR及び低い磁化率を有する選択された高速MRシーケンスであることが可能である。
