Abstract

See full text

The invention is an MRI imaging system that seamlessly switches between a fast imaging fluoro-mode and a diagnostic imaging mode. The fluoro-mode is used to quickly obtain an image which provides confirmation that the selection of MR imaging parameters are proper and to provide an opportunity to adjust these selections. After the selections have been confirmed and adjusted, the system is switched to a normal diagnostic image mode using the parameter selects as modified during fluoro-mode imaging.
