Intensity-Corrected Dual-Echo Echo-Planar Imaging (DE-EPI) for Improved Pediatric Brain Diffusion Imaging
Here we investigate the utility of a dual-echo Echo-Planar Imaging (DE-EPI) Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) approach to improve lesion conspicuity in pediatric imaging. This method delivers two 'echo images' for one diffusion-preparation period. We also demonstrate how the echoes can be utilized to remove transmit/receive coil-induced and static magnetic field intensity modulations on both ech...
متن کاملIsotropic resolution in Diffusion Weighted Imaging using 3D multi-slab, multi-echo Echo Planar Imaging
INTRODUCTION Diffusion weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DWI) is usually performed using a 2D single shot echo planar imaging technique, because it generates good SNR, short scan times and is immune to phase differences between diffusion-encoded excitations. 2D DWEPI can be acquired with a reasonably high in-plane resolution, especially if parallel imaging is used to reduce the geometric dis...
متن کاملGradient preemphasis calibration in diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging.
This article describes a method which enables fast and objective pulse-sequence-specific preemphasis calibration, using standard pulse sequences and system hardware. The method is based on a k-space measurement technique, and has been applied to single-shot, diffusion-weighted, spin-echo, echo-planar imaging (DW-SE-EPI), which is particularly sensitive to eddy-current-induced image distortions....
متن کاملGhost-Free Spin-Echo Echo Planar Imaging Method for Diffusion Weighted Images using Adaptive RF Pulses
Y. Han, J. Hwang, J-Y. Chung, H. Park Department of Electrical Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of Introduction Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can provide valuable information regarding brain connectivity and neurological diseases. However, acquiring DTI is not an easy process because it has to be acquired in a short period of time with h...
