Alternate ascending/descending directional navigation approach for imaging magnetization transfer asymmetry.
A new method for imaging magnetization transfer (MT) asymmetry with no separate saturation pulse is proposed in this article. MT effects were generated from sequential two-dimensional balanced steady-state free precession imaging, where interslice MT asymmetry was separated from interslice blood flow and magnetic field inhomogeneity with alternate ascending/descending directional navigation (AL...
متن کاملBrain MR perfusion-weighted imaging with alternate ascending/descending directional navigation.
In this study, a new arterial spin labeling technique that requires no separate spin preparation pulse was developed. Sequential two-dimensional slices were acquired in ascending and descending orders by turns using balanced steady state free precession for pair-wise subtraction. Simulation studies showed this new technique, alternate ascending/descending directional navigation (ALADDIN), has h...

Magnetization transfer (MT) techniques provide tissue contrast which depends mainly on the concentration of macromolecules. The magnetization transfer phenomenon is determined by the restricted macromolecular protons and is quantified by the magnetization transfer ratio (MTR). Since many macromolecular structures are implicated in the secretory activity of the pituitary gland, this imaging tech...

University of Basel, Switzerland, Basel, Switzerland. Introduction: Recently, we showed that the rapid succession of high flip angle RF pulses in conventional balanced steady state free precession (bSSFP) sequences causes an on-resonancemagn...
متن کاملPulsed magnetization transfer spin-echo MR imaging.
Cross relaxation between macromolecular protons and water protons is known to be important in biologic tissue. In magnetic resonance (MR) imaging sequences, selective saturation of the characteristically short T2 macromolecular proton pool can produce contrast called magnetization transfer contrast, based on the cross-relaxation process. Selective saturation can be achieved with continuous wave...
