Abstract:
1. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus comprising: an MRI gantry and associated MRI system components including static and gradient magnetic field magnets, a plurality of radio frequency (RF) coils, an RF transmitter and RF receiver configured to transmit and/or receive RF signals to and from an imaging volume within the gantry and a computing system connected to MRI gantry components for controlling same, said computing system being configured to collect magnetic resonance signal data received individually by a plurality of element coils for each channel assigned to each of the element coils at a positioning image taking time, and enter the magnetic resonance signal data that is collected for each channel in a storage unit; reconstruct an image from the magnetic resonance signal data stored in the storage unit by referring to the storage unit in relation to a channel selected at the positioning image taking time; display the reconstructed image; receive a channel selection change command; when the change command is received, correct the reconstructed image by use of the magnetic resonance signal data stored in the storage unit in relation to a channel that is changed; and display information regarding the corrected image.
