Correcting surface coil excitation inhomogeneities in single-shot SPEN MRI.
Given their high sensitivity and ability to limit the field of view (FOV), surface coils are often used in magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and imaging (MRI). A major downside of surface coils is their inherent radiofrequency (RF) B1 heterogeneity across the FOV, decreasing with increasing distance from the coil and giving rise to image distortions due to non-uniform spatial responses. A r...
متن کاملRadial single-shot STEAM MRI.
Rapid MR imaging using the stimulated echo acquisition mode (STEAM) technique yields single-shot images without any sensitivity to resonance offset effects. However, the absence of susceptibility-induced signal voids or geometric distortions is at the expense of a somewhat lower signal-to-noise ratio than EPI. As a consequence, the achievable spatial resolution is limited when using conventiona...
متن کاملPartial Fourier transform reconstruction for single-shot MRI with linear frequency-swept excitation.
A novel image encoding approach based on linear frequency-swept excitation has been recently proposed to overcome artifacts induced by various field perturbations in single-shot echo planar imaging. In this article, we develop a new super-resolved reconstruction method for it using the concepts of local k-space and partial Fourier transform. This method is superior to the originally developed c...
متن کاملHalf-Fourier single-shot STEAM MRI.
As a high-speed imaging technique based on stimulated echoes single-shot STEAM MRI is insensitive to chemical shift artifacts and magnetic susceptibility differences. The achievable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is limited by the fact that high flip angles of the read-out excitation pulses cause a steep decay of the stimulated echo train and therefore degrade the point-spread function of the resu...
متن کاملSingle-photon excitation of surface plasmon polaritons.
We provide the quantum-mechanical description of the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons on metal surfaces by single photons. An attenuated-reflection setup is described for the quantum excitation process in which we find remarkably efficient photon-to-surface plasmon wave-packet transfer. Using a fully quantized treatment of the fields, we introduce the Hamiltonian for their interaction a...
