发明名称 EPI calibration method to minimize ghosting in reconstructed images
摘要 A method of magnetic resonance imaging is provided. It includes supporting a subject in an examination region of an MRI scanner (A), and applying an EPI pulse sequence with the MRI scanner (A) to induce a detectable magnetic resonance signal from a selected region of the subject. The magnetic resonance signal are received and demodulated to generate raw data. Applied to the raw data are a pair of ghost reducing correction factors (theta,Delta). The pair of corrections factors (theta,Delta) included a phase correction (theta) and a read delay (Delta). The phase correction (theta) compensates for phase errors in the raw data, and the read delay (Delta) effectively shifts a data acquisition window (120) under which the raw data was collected to thereby align the raw data in k-space. The correction factors affect how data is loaded into k-space to generate k-space data, and the k-space data is subjected to a reconstruction algorithm to generate image data. Thereafter, values for the pair of correction factors (theta,Delta) are derived from the image data.
