MRI sequence design support method

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To easily perform photographing by an optional photographing procedure without using a programmer by interactively inputting data with a graphic screen, and automatically generating a program based on the data. CONSTITUTION:Sequence data are interactively inputted on a graphic screen to visually perform sequence designing, then parameters for a sequence control program are automatically generated. The combined designing for the device characteristic and photographing sequence is performed in the functional design 101, and the designing for the combination of pulse sequences, multi-slice, phase encoding repetition number and change order, accumulation number, synchronizing trigger, and repetition time is performed in the photographing sequence design 102. Data depending on a device such as the static magnetic field strength and pulse rising characteristic are measured in the device 103 with a characteristic design, and the setting of the application timing and application strength of a two-way high frequency magnetic field-radiating system and a three-way inclined magnetic field-radiating system and the designing for the timing and sampling interval of signal measurement are performed in the pulse sequence design 104.
