MULTI-PHASE PSEUDO-CONTINUING ARTERIAL SPIN LABELING

摘要

Techniques, systems and apparatus are described for magnetic resonance imaging. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system comprises a scanner comprising a magnet, gradient coils and a radio frequency (RF) system to perform various operations. The scanner can apply a gradient field and a train of RF pulses comprising more than two phases to tag a target blood vessel, and acquire magnetic resonance signals based on the applied train of RF pulses to sample the more than two phases. The MRI system includes a data processing system in communication with the scanner to receive the acquired magnetic resonance signals and process the received magnetic resonance signal to generate images proportional to perfusion.
