SWI-based method for emphasizing susceptivity changes on liver T2* multi-echo gradient-echo MRI
Introduction It is well known that the susceptibility difference between tissues, such as venous blood and surrounding tissue, causes a different bulk magnetization that can be observed both in magnitude and phase images: as a signal amplitude loss due to a reduced T2*, and as a local frequency variation of the protons inside the vessel that results in a phase angle Φ of the venous blood signal...
متن کاملVery Fast T2* Imaging by Using Improved Echo-Shifted Gradient-Recalled-Echo (iESGRE)
INTRODUCTION Echo-Shifted Gradient-Recalled-Echo (ESGRE) can be used to rapidly acquire MR images with strong T2* sensitivity [1, 2]. In this approach, excited spins are precessing over multiple TRs before each gradient echo is recalled. Therefore, the effective T2* weighting period in ESGRE is longer than one TR (TE>TR). This property makes it attractive in various clinical applications to sig...

متن کاملGradient Echo
Principles and concepts of gradient echo (GRE) imaging are the basis of many applications on modern MR-systems. The most obvious difference between Spin Echo and GRE imaging is related to the pulse sequence elements that are used to generate an MR signal (see figure 1). While two rf-pulses (90 and 180) are used for spin refocusing and spin echo generation, GRE imaging is based on only a single ...
متن کاملSimplified Signal Equations for Spoiled Gradient Echo MRI
INTRODUCTION: This work presents simplified signal equations for spoiled gradient echo (SPGR) imaging that, to the authors' knowledge, has not been published. The framework introduces an exponential time constant TA, which reflects magnetization loss from the rf pulse. This framework is then used for to consider image SNR and T1 contrast. THEORY: Image SNR can be approximated as the product of ...
