Breath-hold MR cholangiopancreatography with three-dimensional, segmented, echo-planar imaging and volume rendering.
End-expiration, 21-second breath-hold, three-dimensional magnetic resonance (MR) cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) was developed with segmented echo-planar imaging. In 15 healthy subjects and 14 randomly selected patients undergoing liver studies, three-dimensional MRCP images were obtained and volume rendered. In 15 (100%) healthy subjects and 13 (93%) patients, clear depiction of biliary, hepat...
متن کاملSegmented K-space cine breath-hold cardiovascular MR imaging: Part 1. Principles and technique.
S everal well-established MR techmques are routinely used for evaluation of the heart and great vessels. Tl-weighted spin-echo images gated to the cardiac cycle provide black-blood images of the heart and vessels. Spin-echo images provide good anatomic detail, but imaging times are relatively long (approximately 5-7 mm, depending on the heart rate). In addition, the images are static: only a si...
متن کاملSegmented three-dimensional echo-planar flow imaging of the cervical carotid arteries.
PURPOSE To implement and assess the application of segmented three-dimensional echo-planar MR imaging time-of-flight flow sequences for studying the anatomy of the cervical carotid arteries at 1.5 T. METHODS The 3-D echo-planar sequences were segmented along the in-plane phase-encoding direction. Echo train lengths (ETLs) of 3 and 5 and signal bandwidths of +/-25, +/-33, and +/-50 KHz were te...
متن کاملReadout-Segmented Echo-Planar Imaging in Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging in Breast Cancer: Comparison with Single-Shot Echo-Planar Imaging in Image Quality
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the image quality of standard single-shot echo-planar imaging (ss-EPI) and that of readout-segmented EPI (rs-EPI) in patients with breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-one patients with 74 breast cancers underwent both ss-EPI and rs-EPI. For qualitative comparison of image quality, three readers independently assessed the two sets of ...
متن کاملThree dimensional echo-planar imaging at 7 Tesla
Functional MRI (fMRI) most commonly employs 2D echo-planar imaging (EPI). The advantages for fMRI brought about by the increasingly popular ultra-high field strengths are best exploited in high-resolution acquisitions, but here 2D EPI becomes impractical for several reasons, including the very long volume acquisitions times. In this study at 7 T, a 3D EPI sequence with full parallel and partial...
