Abstract
The present invention discloses a 3-dimension magnetic resonance imaging method which comprises: applying a slab selection gradient to a subject; transmitting a radiofrequency pulse to the subject, and exciting a slab of the subject to produce magnetic resonance signals with a continuous frequency bandwidth; performing a spatial encoding gradient across three dimensions to encode the magnetic resonance signals, wherein an equivalent encoded field of view which along the selected acceleration direction is controlled by the spatial encoding gradient, and the equivalent encoded field of view is shorter than the excited slab size of the subject; applying a separation gradient along with the spatial encoding gradient; and receiving and reconstructing the encoded magnetic resonance signals to produce 3D images.
