(57)< Abstract > Being the method of making the signal or the picture form which show 1 circulation of aforementioned contrast medium bolus which passes the organization where this invention prescribes the bolus which includes the contrast medium for magnetic resonance image pickup of the contrast reinforcement quantity flow of the organization which the blood vessel of the body of the animal other than the person or the person passed in regard to the method in order contrast reinforcement magnetic resonance image pickup to do, to the blood vessel system of the aforementioned body, magnetic resonance image pickup processes the aforementioned body, has relation with that, the (i) aforementioned contrast medium, in the origin of the image pickup processing which is used measurable T1 and T2* the decrease effect simultaneously showingIt is something which it can do, (ii) T1 emphasis image pickup processing, visualizes 1 circulation of aforementioned contrast medium bolus which passes the aforementioned organization (a) the signal decrease T2* with the effect, at the same time, (b) regards the method of featuring that it is used in order to obtain the T1 emphasis contrast medium reinforcement picture of aforementioned organization.本発明は、ヒトもしくはヒト以外の動物の体の血管の通った組織の潅流を造影増強磁気共鳴撮像するための方法に関し、造影増強量の磁気共鳴撮像用造影剤を含むボーラスを前記体の血管系に投与し、前記体を磁気共鳴撮像処理し、それによって関連のある組織を通過した前記造影剤ボーラスの1回循環を示す信号もしくは画像を生成させる方法であって、(i)前記造影剤が、使用した撮像処理のもとで測定可能なT1およびT2*減少効果を同時に発揮し得るものであり、(ii)T1強調撮像処理が、(a) その信号減少T2*効果によって、前記組織を通過した前記造影剤ボーラスの1回循環を視覚化し、且つ、(b)前記組織のT1強調造影剤増強画像を得るために使用されることを特徴とする方法に関する。
