Abstract:
A method for imaging high resolution MRI using generalized series parallel imaging technique and recording media thereof and provided to have a high time resolution by being applied in a ultra high magnetic field system. A method for imaging high resolution MRI using generalized series parallel imaging technique obtains a magnetic resonance data by sampling only a frequency lower than Nyquist standards among all frequency bands. A method for sampling to the frequency lower than the Nyquist standards is a sampling method of a SPACE RIP(Sensitivity Profiles From an Array of Coils for Encoding and Reconstruction in Parallel).

Abstract:
A method for correcting brightness inequality in a phased-array coil image for a parallel magnetic resonance imaging based on a projection profile is provided to obtain an optimum result image by correcting each image with software without investing cost. A method for correcting brightness inequality in a phased-array coil image for a parallel magnetic resonance imaging based on the projection profile includes the steps of: acquiring an initial image by integrating an image signal obtained from each coil based on a projection profile; calculating each initial image and adjusting smoothly the initial image by applying nonlinear curve fitting to the projection profile; acquiring the adjusted image having a brightness distribution map by back-projecting the initial image after the adjusting step; acquiring an equal image having an equal brightness distribution by dividing the initial image of the pre-adjusting step by the adjusted image of the post-adjusting step, and calculating a mean value; combining the each equal image and acquiring the combined image having an equal brightness distribution.

Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for acquiring a parallel magnetic resonance image using a radial k-space path, and a computer readable record medium for executing the same are provided to reduce a motion artifact shown in a DTI image by re-constituting an image through size information without phase information of data. A method for acquiring a parallel magnetic resonance image using a radial k-space path includes the steps of: acquiring magnetic resonance data according to a radial path in a k-space; setting a rotation relation of the radial path and a Cartersian path; and acquiring a magnetic resonance image from the magnetic resonance data by the rotation relation. The magnetic resonance data includes X projection data according to a predetermined angle. The projection data includes data acquired repeatedly for A predetermined angles. The projection data includes data acquired by C-different channels for the predetermined angle. The X, A, C are integers.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A higher order generalized series parallel imaging method and a sampling method are provided to reduce an image obtaining time by combining a parallel magnetic resonance imaging method and a higher order generalized imaging method. CONSTITUTION: An input image is sampled in a k-space. A first re-composition image is obtained by applying a parallel magnetic resonance imaging method to the data obtained by the sampling. A second re-composition image is obtained by applying a higher order generalized imaging method to the first re-composition image. The parallel magnetic resonance imaging method is a SPACE RIP(Sensitivity Profiles From Array of Coils for Encoding and Reconstruction in Parallel), SENCE, and PILS or GRAPPA.
Abstract:
A method of reducing a ghost artifact in an EPI by using sensitivity encoding and a computer readable record medium with a program for executing the method are provided to remove an aliasing signal by using the sensitivity encoding. An initial image is obtained by using a multiple channel coil of an EPI(Echo Planar Image), in which an odd image and an even image are alternatively obtained from left and right parts of a path obtaining a signal of a frequency region. Only even image is collected from the initial image, and then is Fourier-transformed to obtain an even intermediate image. Only odd image is collected from the initial image, and then is Fourier-transformed to obtain an odd intermediate image. The even intermediate image and the odd intermediate image are sensitivity-encoded to obtain an even image and an odd image. A final image is generated by taking an average of the even image and odd image.
