MAGNETIC RESISTANCE IMAGING (MRI) TECHNIQUE WITH SIMULTANEOUS MULTISLICE EXCITATION

摘要

What is disclosed is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, wherein a Larmor frequency signal is supplied to an object in a location-dependent magnetic field. The signal is a signal having several Larmor frequencies, which excites more than one object part simultaneously. Separate signals representative of the individual parts of the object are derived from the signal that is received back from the excited object, from which signals the images of each object part are formed by simple filtering. In this way a much larger number of MRI scans can be carried out, even with existing and easily adaptable MRI equipment.
