Gradient 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 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 کاملNon-uniformity of Clinical Head, Head and Neck, and Body Coils in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Introduction Signal intensity uniformity in a magnetic resonance (MR) image indicates how well the MR imaging (MRI) system represents an object. One of the major sources of image non-uniformity in high-field MRI scanners is inhomogeneity of radio-frequency coil. The aim of this study was to investigate non-uniformity in head, head and neck, and body coils and compare the obtained results to det...
متن کاملAccelerated proton echo planar spectroscopic imaging (PEPSI) using GRAPPA with a 32-channel phased-array coil.
Parallel imaging has been demonstrated to reduce the encoding time of MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI). Here we investigate up to 5-fold acceleration of 2D proton echo planar spectroscopic imaging (PEPSI) at 3T using generalized autocalibrating partial parallel acquisition (GRAPPA) with a 32-channel coil array, 1.5 cm(3) voxel size, TR/TE of 15/2000 ms, and 2.1 Hz spectral resolution. Compared t...
