SOFTWARE DECOUPLING OF AN RF BODY COIL AND AN RF SURFACE COIL

摘要

To effectively achieve decoupling between a body coil and a surface coil, performed are: a first acquiring step of acquiring magnetic resonance (MR) signals by concurrent reception by a body coil and a surface coil in a plurality of views; a second acquiring step of acquiring MR signals by independent reception by the body coil in some of the plurality of views; an identifying step of identifying a correspondence between the concurrently-received MR signal for the body coil, the concurrently-received MR signals for the surface coil, and the independently-received MR signal for the body coil based on the concurrently-received MR signals in the some views and the independently-received MR signals for the body coil; and a calculation step of determining the independently -received MR signals for the body coil in others of the plurality of views based on the correspondence and using the concurrently-received MR signals for the body coil and surface coil in the other views.
