Method of generating magnetic resonance image and medical imaging apparatus using the method

Abstract

A method of generating a medical resonance image and a medical imaging apparatus using the same are provided. The medical imaging apparatus includes a signal controller configured to determine flip angles respectively corresponding to radio frequency (RF) refocusing pulses included in a fast spin-echo (FSE) pulse sequence, based on a pseudo-steady state model of a flip angle schedule. The medical imaging apparatus further includes an RF transmitter configured to apply an RF excitation pulse to an object, and apply the RF refocusing pulses to the object based on the determined flip angles. The medical imaging apparatus further includes an image processor configured to generate a magnetic resonance (MR) image based on an MR signal that is received from the object.
