Abstract
Ultrahigh speed magnetic resonance imaging equipment is capable of predicting temporal and spatial operation of an object to be imaged and significantly reducing the number of phase and frequency encodings, thereby significantly increasing the imaging speed. An object () to be imaged is placed in a static magnetic field () and a gradient magnetic field and a radiofrequency wave are applied to the object in an x, y and/or z direction in an orthogonal coordinates system. The equipment includes means for collecting only phase and frequency encodings optimized based on an estimate of motion of the object () to be imaged and means for complementing unacquired data. By increasing the imaging speed, as described above, the temporal resolution is improved and it is possible to display a two-dimensional cross section and three-dimensional internal structure of the object in motion as an image. As a result imaging is possible even when the object () to be imaged is temporally deformed or displaced.
