MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING METHOD AND APPARATUS WITH INTERLEAVED RESTING STATE FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SEQUENCES AND MORPHOLOGICAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SEQUENCES

摘要

In a method and apparatus for acquiring magnetic resonance data, a resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging sequence is executed in alternation with a morphological data acquisition sequence. The alternating sequences are executed with no time interruptions therebetween, with at least one repetition of the alternating sequences. The resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging sequence can be a BOLD-EPI sequence, and the morphological imaging sequence can be an MPRAGE sequence.
