Fast proton spectroscopic imaging using steady-state free precession methods.
Various pulse sequences for fast proton spectroscopic imaging (SI) using the steady-state free precession (SSFP) condition are proposed. The sequences use either only the FID-like signal S(1), only the echo-like signal S(2), or both signals in separate but adjacent acquisition windows. As in SSFP imaging, S(1) and S(2) are separated by spoiler gradients. RF excitation is performed by slice-sele...
متن کاملOptimized composite pulses for steady state free precession proton spectroscopic imaging
Synopsis The optimization of a steady state free precession (SSFP) proton spectroscopic imaging (SI) sequence which uses only the echo-like signal S2 and composite pulses for RF excitation and refocusing is described. The use of chemical shift selective composite pulses allows a short TR because of the inherent water and lipid suppression. Based on the flip angle dependence of the SSFP signal i...
متن کاملSpin Locked Steady-State Free Precession Imaging
Introduction: T1ρ MRI is typically performed by magnetization preparation followed by a readout sequence during which the T1ρ-weighted signal is frequency and phase encoded (1). This paradigm is inherently time inefficient and, instead, it might be desirable to continuously acquire the T1ρ-weighted signal in the steady-state. Unfortunately, it isn’t clear how to establish a steady-state T1ρ con...
متن کاملImaging periodic currents using alternating balanced steady-state free precession.
Existing functional brain MR imaging methods detect neuronal activity only indirectly via a surrogate signal such as deoxyhemoglobin concentration in the vascular bed of cerebral parenchyma. It has been recently proposed that neuronal currents may be measurable directly using MRI (ncMRI). However, limited success has been reported in neuronal current detection studies that used standard gradien...
متن کاملIntravoxel incoherent motion imaging using steady-state free precession.
IVIM MR imaging is a method which generates images of diffusion and perfusion in vivo. Until now, intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) images have been obtained using spin-echo sequences with extragradient pulses, resulting in long acquisition times (typically 2 x 8 min 32 s). A new method is proposed here, using steady-state free precession (SSFP), which allows IVIM images to be obtained in a c...
