Quantitative magnetization transfer imaging using balanced SSFP.
It is generally accepted that signal formation in balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) is a simple function of relaxation times and flip angle only. This can be confirmed for fluids, but for more complex substances, magnetization transfer (MT) can lead to a considerable loss of steady-state signal. Thus, especially in tissues, the analytical description of bSSFP requires a revision to ...
متن کاملCardiac BOLD Imaging with Cine 2D-Balanced SSFP
Introduction Detecting changes in oxygen content in tissues can aid in understanding pathological processes. In the MR environment, changes in blood oxygen saturation are accompanied by local magnetic field variations sampled by the spins, allowing for acquisition of oxygen-weighted images [1-2]. This observation has been exploited in identifying myocardial oxygen deficits that originate from c...

Figure 3. Coronal (top) and axial (bottom) views from a 3D acquisiton slightly above the heart. Images have 2x2x3 mm resolution. The coronal image shows the 4cm, TB=10 slab profile in vivo. The contrast is consistent across the slab, indicating a flat slab profile. The black level is 0 for these images. Introduction: Balanced steady-state free precession (SSFP) imaging (TrueFISP, FIESTA, balanc...
متن کاملFast Gradient Echo Sequences Including Balanced SSFP
Many common magnetic resonance imaging sequences are classified either as spin echo or gradient echo techniques. Generally, a gradient echo occurs when spins are coherent regardless of their position within the sample. This occurs whenever the net gradient area since a previous echo is zero. In a spin echo, spins are coherent regardless of their resonance frequency [1]. Here we will focus on gr...
متن کاملBalanced SSFP & Modifications for Unique Contrast
The term “steady state” refers to the equilibrium condition that evolves when magnetization experiences a train of radiofrequency (RF) pulses. If RF pulses are applied on the order of seconds (TR≈T1), the magnetization decays away completely in the transverse plane between RF pulses, but may not recover fully along the longitudinal axis. In the resulting steady state, the magnetization tipped a...
