MULTI-ECHO MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE: Provided is a multi-echo magnetic resonance imaging method by which artifacts as a result of residual magnetizations are reduced without extending the measuring time. CONSTITUTION: The multi-echo magnetic resonance imaging method comprises the steps of: generating a plurality of high-frequency pulses including a high-frequency excitation pulse followed by a plurality of the high-frequency refocusing pulses, the plurality of the high-frequency refocusing pulses including a first high-frequency refocusing pulse; generating at least two phase encoding gradient pulses(106,108) respectively between successive high-frequency refocusing pulses; and generating at least two compensation phase encoding gradient pulses between the high-frequency excitation pulse and the first high-frequency refocusing pulse.
