Abstract

The present invention provides a method for indicating differentiation between tissues. For each tissue amongst multiple tissues, a magnetization vector corresponding to each tissue is generated on the basis of a random scan sequence; on the basis of the magnetization vector corresponding to each of the multiple tissues, a differentiation-indicating value between each pair of the multiple tissues is calculated. Thus, a physician can select a suitable random scan sequence, according to the method provided in the present invention, and generate a magnetic resonance image comprising multiple brightness curves corresponding to multiple tissues, such that the trends of the brightness curves corresponding to the multiple tissues in the magnetic resonance image differ significantly. The present invention also provides a device for indicating differentiation between tissues.
