Method for magnetic resonance imaging
A method for magnetic resonance imaging, in which a magnetic resonance imaging device employs a multi-echo imaging sequence, includes the steps of: applying, to one of the multiple echoes, a first number of steps of phase encoding, applying a readout gradient, and collecting the data of this echo to reconstruct an anatomical image; and applying, to another one of the multiple echoes, a second number of steps of phase encoding, applying a readout gradient, and collecting the data of this echo to construct a temperature image. The method is capable of obtaining at the same time both a temperature image with high time resolution and an anatomical image with high spatial resolution.
