发明名称 Multiple-echo NMR angiography for enhancement of signal-to noise ratio
摘要 Several sequences of radio-frequency and magnetic field gradients are presented for obtaining from a sample multiple response echo signals from which to obtain a plurality of independent angiograms, which can be combined or separately analyzed to provide more information than an individual angiogram, but in substantially the same amount of time as a single angiogram. For example, a series of angiograms, each with a different projection axis, can be obtained in the time required to obtain a single angiogram using a single echo method. If the view angle of each echo is the same, then the acquired angiograms can be added to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio. Another pulse sequence simultaneously obtains two or more angiograms, each sensitive to one of two orthogonal flow components of the overall blood flow; the angiograms are then added to give an angiogram which is sensitive to total flow in all directions. Multiple velocity ranges are accommodated in a fourth sequence form.
