MR Elastography Sequence Comparison: Standard PC MRE vs. Balanced Alternating Steady-State Elastography
S. Maderwald, F. Stock, O. Kraff, A. de Greiff, O. Bieri, K. Scheffler, M. E. Ladd Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology and Neuroradiology, University Hospital Essen, Essen, Germany, MR Physics, Demartment of Medical Radiology, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland Introduction MR elastography (MRE) has been shown to be capable of non-invasively measuring tissue elasticity ev...
متن کاملImaging periodic currents using alternating balanced steady-state free precession.
Existing functional brain MR imaging methods detect neuronal activity only indirectly via a surrogate signal such as deoxyhemoglobin concentration in the vascular bed of cerebral parenchyma. It has been recently proposed that neuronal currents may be measurable directly using MRI (ncMRI). However, limited success has been reported in neuronal current detection studies that used standard gradien...
متن کاملWideband SSFP: alternating repetition time balanced steady state free precession with increased band spacing.
Balanced steady-state free precession (SSFP) imaging is limited by off-resonance banding artifacts, which occur with periodicity 1/TR in the frequency spectrum. A novel balanced SSFP technique for widening the band spacing in the frequency response is described. This method, called wideband SSFP, utilizes two alternating repetition times with alternating RF phase, and maintains high SNR and T(2...
متن کاملFMRI using high flip-angle alternating steady state balanced SSFP supported by Monte Carlo studies
Introduction The need exists for a functional MRI (fMRI) technique capable of artifact-free whole brain coverage, with good blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast to noise ratio (CNR), and high temporal resolution. Conventional gradient echo (GRE) BOLD fMRI suffers from signal dropout in regions of magnetic field inhomogeneity, limiting coverage, while spin echo fMRI has reduced BOLD...
متن کاملBalanced Steady-State Feedback Radiation Damping: Balanced SSFR
INTRODUCTION The SNR efficiency in MR experiments is intrinsically limited by longitudinal-, and transverse spin relaxation mechanisms. This becomes particularly limiting for unbalanced, short repetition time (TR) sequences, where incomplete T1-relaxation results in a steady-state signal that is only a small fraction of the available thermal equilibrium magnetization. Radiation damping (RD) is ...
