Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Image processing techniques which enable various contrast control, by quantitatively handling a degree of phase enhancement in a contrast control as a post-processing of the image reconstruction. A complex operation is performed on each pixel value of a complex image obtained by an MRI, thereby generating an image with desired contrast. Intensity is controlled by increasing or decreasing the argument of the pixel value of each pixel by a constant amount, and the degree of phase enhancement is controlled by multiplying the phase (argument) of each pixel by a constant.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising, an imaging unit for applying a radio frequency magnetic field and a magnetic field gradient to a subject placed in a static magnetic field, and detecting a nuclear magnetic resonance signal generated from the subject as a complex signal, a computing unit for carrying out an operation on the complex signal and generating an image, and a display unit for displaying the image being generated, the computing…
