Abstract

In a method and apparatus for magnetic resonance imaging preview and establishing an MR model, an MRI scanner is controlled so as to execute an MR model scan sequence to perform an MRI scan of a designated patient, to obtain an MR model of the patient. One type of scan sequence is sequentially selected from all types of scan sequence supported by the MRI device, and one parameter set is sequentially selected from at least one parameter set supported by this type of scan sequence. The selected sequence and the selected parameter set are used to subject the MR model to a virtual MRI scan, to obtain an MR preview image corresponding to the selected sequence and the selected parameter set for the sequence C. This is repeated for all types of scan sequence supported by the MRI scanner and all parameter sets supported by each type of scan sequence. An MR model of a patient can thereby be established, and MR images of the patient to be previewed quickly, before an MRI scan of the patient is actually begun.
