T₁ mapping using variable flip angle SPGR data with flip angle correction.
PURPOSE To improve the calculation of T1 relaxation time from a set of variable flip-angle (FA) spoiled gradient recalled echo images. MATERIALS AND METHODS The proposed method: (a) uses a uniform weighting of all FAs, (b) takes into account global inaccuracies in the generation of the prescribed FAs by estimating the actual FAs, and (c) incorporates data-driven local B1 inhomogeneity correct...
متن کاملNon-contrast-enhanced 4D intracranial MR angiography: Optimizations using a variable flip angle approach
INTRODUCTION: Recently, a new technique was presented for non-contrast-enhanced (NCE) 4D intracranial MR angiography (MRA) [1,2]. It uses a FAIR-type spin-labeling approach [3] together with an ECG-triggered CINE-like b-SSFP acquisition of multiple 3D phases, to sample the inversion recovery (IR) signal curves after selective and non-selective inversion, respectively. By subtraction of the two ...

Background: Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) provides functional information on the microcirculation in tissues by analyzing the enhancement kinetics which can be used as biomarkers for prostate lesions detection and characterization.Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate spatiotemporal patterns of tumors by extracting semi-quantitative as well as w...
متن کاملInvestigating the Influence of Flip Angle and k-Space Sampling on Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI Breast Examinations
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To retrospectively investigate the effect of flip angle (FA) and k-space sampling on the performance of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE-) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) breast sequences. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five DCE-MRI breast sequences were evaluated (10°, 14°, and 18° FAs; radial or linear k-space sampling), with 7-10 patients in each group (n = 45). All sequence...
متن کاملAccurate and Efficient Mapping of Flip Angle and T1 using Simultaneous Actual Flip Angle - Variable Flip Angle Imaging (AFI-T1)
Introduction: The knowledge of flip angle values is essential for accurate modeling in many quantitative MRI techniques. Recently, Actual Flip Angle Imaging (AFI) was proposed to account for multiple sources of flip angle variations such as transmit field inhomogeneity, B0 variations, slab profile, and excitation pulse effects [1]. AFI was successfully applied to yield system-independent T1 rel...
