Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging system and method is provided. The magnetic resonance imaging method comprises: in a single signal acquisition, applying a plurality of diffusion-weighted imaging sequences in a plurality of diffusion directions, respectively, to acquire a plurality of k-space data sets. Each diffusion-weighted imaging sequence comprising a pre-dephasing gradient pulse and a plurality of phase encoding gradient pulses applied after the pre-dephasing gradient pulse, and the pre-dephasing gradient pulses in the plurality of diffusion-weighted imaging sequences, when sorted according to area values, successively having a first standard area difference determined on the basis of the number of the plurality of diffusion directions. The method further includes performing data fusion processing on the plurality of k-space data sets in the single signal acquisition to obtain a magnetic resonance image.
