Flip angle optimization for quantitative phase contrast MR imaging
Background PC-MRI is a noninvasive imaging technique used to measure the velocity of flowing blood in a particular blood vessel with flexible spatial and temporal resolution [1,2]. It is considered the clinical “gold standard” for quantification of blood flow. PC-MRI boasts a variety of established applications in quantifying cardiovascular function and hemodynamics. In particular, this techniq...
متن کاملFlip angle Optimization with Hepatobiliary Contrast Agents at 3T
INTRODUCTION: To date, two FDA-approved Gadolinium-based contrast agents Gd-EOBDTPA (Gadoxetate, Eovist, Bayer Pharmaceuticals, Wayne, NJ), and Gd-BOPTA (Gadobenate, Bracco Diagnostics, Princeton, NJ) are available for hepatobiliary imaging. The pharmacokinetics of these agents are different, with approximately 4-5% hepatic uptake with Gd-BOPTA at 1-2 hours, and 50% uptake of Gd-EOB-DTPA at app...
متن کاملMR phase-contrast imaging in pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life-threatening, multifactorial pathophysiological haemodynamic condition, diagnosed when the mean pulmonary arterial pressure equals or exceeds 25 mmHg at rest during right heart catheterization. Cardiac MRI, in general, and MR phase-contrast (PC) imaging, in particular, have emerged as potential techniques for the standardized assessment of cardiovascular fun...
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 ...
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...
