Optimized 3D ultrashort echo time pulmonary MRI.
PURPOSE To optimize 3D radial ultrashort echo time MRI for high resolution whole-lung imaging. METHODS 3D radial ultrashort echo time was implemented on a 3T scanner to investigate the effects of: (1) limited field-of-view excitation, (2) variable density readouts, and (3) radial oversampling. Improvements in noise performance and spatial resolution were assessed through simulation and phanto...
متن کاملDesigning long-T2 suppression pulses for ultrashort echo time imaging.
Ultrashort echo time (UTE) imaging has shown promise as a technique for imaging tissues with T2 values of a few milliseconds or less. These tissues, such as tendons, menisci, and cortical bone, are normally invisible in conventional magnetic resonance imaging techniques but have signal in UTE imaging. They are difficult to visualize because they are often obscured by tissues with longer T2 valu...
متن کاملQuantitative contrast-enhanced MRI with superparamagnetic nanoparticles using ultrashort time-to-echo pulse sequences.
PURPOSE Conventional MRI using contrast agents is semiquantitative because it is inherently sensitive to extravoxular susceptibility artifacts, field inhomogeneity, partial voluming, perivascular effects, and motion/flow artifacts. Herein we demonstrate a quantitative contrast-enhanced MRI technique using ultrashort time-to-echo pulse sequences for measuring clinically relevant concentrations o...
متن کاملUSPIO enhanced 4D flow imaging of the mouse cardiovascular system at 7T with an ultrashort echo time sequence
Background Time resolved phase contrast imaging is hardly used in small animal studies due to a lack of signal-to-noise ratio. Some studies were performed in 2D and one publication (Janiczek et al, MRM 2011) reported flow measurement in mouse aortic arch in 3D due to the use of a thin excitation slab and high Time-Of-Flight (TOF) effect. However, this strategy is not applicable on the whole car...
متن کاملUltrashort echo time imaging using pointwise encoding time reduction with radial acquisition (PETRA).
Sequences with ultrashort echo times enable new applications of MRI, including bone, tendon, ligament, and dental imaging. In this article, a sequence is presented that achieves the shortest possible encoding time for each k-space point, limited by pulse length, hardware switching times, and gradient performance of the scanner. In pointwise encoding time reduction with radial acquisition (PETRA...
