Phase Correction Method for fast spin-echo for a magnetic resonance imaging system

摘要

A prescan process for an MR fast spin echo (FSE) pulse sequence adjusts the phases of the RF excitation pulse and RF refocusing pulses in the FSE pulse sequence to reduce the spatially invariant phase errors (zeroth order). The prescan process also calculates the value of a readout gradient compensation pulse, a phase-encoding gradient compensation pulse and a slice-select gradient compensation pulse to reduce the first order phase shifts along the readout, phase-encoding, and slice-select gradient axes.
