A magnetic resonance imaging system that:

Evolving image

A method and system for using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to acquire separate data contributions from first and second spectral components by causing a 90 degree phase difference between the data of said components in a first of at least two echoes and using the two echoes to determine the approximate .DELTA..phi. delay due to inhomogeneity, determining linear phase delay .beta. and using .DELTA..phi. and .beta. in the calculation of the separated data contributions of each of the spectral components.

Spectral component separation in mr imaging

A continuous phase magnetic field map is provided by dividing the field map of elements into regions; determining discontinuities in the regions and adding a constant modulo 2.pi. to the phase values of each element of the region which results in a minimum difference between adjacent elements of the region. Then similarly joining the continuous regions to form continuous sections and the continuous sections to form continuous zones until substantially continuous phase magnetic field maps are obtained.
