MR DATA ACQUISITION METHOD, MR IMAGE CONSTRUCTION METHOD AND MRI SYSTEM

Application 229/DEL/2005 published 2006-12-22, filed 2005-02-03
An object of the present invention is to acquire data, which is used to construct a water component-enhanced/fat component-suppressed image, with a repetition time TR set to a desired value. Included are a data acquisition unit and an image construction unit. The data acquisition unit acquires data D_phi fat according to a steady-state pulse sequence specifying that the phase of an RF pulse is varied in order of 0, 1xphi fat, 2xphifat, etc. Herein, phifat=(2TR/T_out+2xm) x pie is established on the assumption that m denotes an integer equal to or larger than 0 and meets TR/(2xT_out)-1
