Abstract

See full text

A method of magnetic resonance imaging includes performing a first magnetic resonance scan sequence which saves a data store, and performing a second magnetic resonance scan sequence which uses a data store from the first magnetic resonance scan sequence. A magnet (10) generates a B0 field in an examination region (12), a gradient coil system (14, 22) creates magnetic gradients in the examination region, and an RF system (16, 18, 20) induces resonance in and receives resonance signals from a subject in the examination region. One or more processors (30) are programmed to perform a magnetic resonance pre-scan sequence to generate pre-scan information, perform a first sequence to generate first sequence data, refine the pre-scan information with the first sequence data, perform a second imaging sequence to generate second sequence data. Further, the second sequence data is either reconstructed using the refined pre-scan information or performed using the refined pre-scan sequence information.
