Abstract
A method and apparatus for susceptibility-weighted imaging, and a magnetic resonance imaging system. The method includes, in planar echo imaging of a plurality of excitations, performing flow compensation in directions of layered encoding, phase encoding, and frequency encoding for echoes of each excitation; after determination of excitation each time, when a linear reordering mode is adopted, for excitation each time, collecting each echo towards space k in a positive direction or a negative direction from the central echo of the plurality of echoes, and collecting echoes of the current excitation in a direction opposite to a direction of collecting echoes of the previous excitation; and subjecting the collected echoes to susceptibility-weighted imaging. An aspect of the present disclosure allows a reduction of flow artifacts in an image created by susceptibility-weighted imaging based on a planar echo sequence.
