ABSTRACT:
A sequence controller (40) controls the pulses applied by the radio transmitter (24) and the gradient amplifiers (20) and gradient coils (22) such that each repetition includes a prepreparation sequence segment, such as a presaturation sequence segment and a magnetization transfer contrast correction (MTC) segment, and a plurality of image sequence segments. More specifically, each of the image sequence segments induce resonance, phase and frequency-encode the resonance, and generate one or more views of data, all within a corresponding one of a plurality of slabs or sub-regions (74.sub.1, 74.sub.2, . . .) of an image volume (72). More precisely to the preferred embodiment, the imaging sequence segments interleave the slabs such that resonance is not excited concurrently in adjacent slabs, without exciting resonance and collecting a view in a non-adjacent slab. The views are sorted (80) by slab and stored in corresponding slab data memories (82). The data in each slab data memory is reconstructed (84) into a corresponding slab image stored in corresponding slab image memories (86). The slab images are stacked or combined (88) into a volumetric image representation of the region of interest and stored in a volume image memory (90).
