Patent ID: 11662413

Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed based on balanced steady state free precession sequence. The techniques include determining a readout gradient of climbing period, platform period, and descent period, and performing a balanced steady state free precession sequence in which the readout gradient is applied in the readout direction, the analog-to-digital conversion module for collecting k-space data is activated during the climbing period maintained in the on state during the platform period, and deactivated during the descent period. The technique includes converting the k-space data collected by the analog-to-digital conversion module into uniform k-space data and generating a magnetic resonance image based on the uniform k-space data. The techniques yield more running time of the readout gradient for data acquisition, reduce the data reading time, and shorten the scanning time. The techniques also reduce the accumulated phase of the field non-uniformity in the echo interval to reduce black band artifacts.
