1 Claim

1. A method for synthesizing high-quality magnetic resonance images, comprising steps of:

(1) scanning a subject by a magnetic resonance scanner, and obtaining proton density PD, longitudinal relaxation time T1 and transverse relaxation time T2 by further reconstruction; and

(2) by image processor substituting PD, T1 and T2 obtained in the step (1) into formula (1) to obtain a magnetic resonance signal S:

S∝PD^β(1−e^−TR/T1)e^−TE/T2 (1)

where β is −1; TR represents simulated repetition time and is negative; and TE represents simulated echo time and is negative, and by image processor generating magnetic resonance images with improve contrast.
