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 کاملEchoplanar chemical shift imaging.
A novel method of chemical shift imaging utilizing echoplanar imaging (EPI) has been developed for the purpose of improving the spatial resolution of metabolite images for the specific goal of high spatial resolution mapping of neuronal content. An EPI sequence was modified to allow temporal offsets of the 180 degree refocusing pulse that encode the chemical shift information into the phase of ...
متن کاملAutomatic gradient preemphasis adjustment: a 15-minute journey to improved diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging.
Image distortion caused by gradient eddy currents is a major problem in the use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), as using the uncorrected images for calculation of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and diffusion anisotropy will result in areas of artificially increased anisotropy and ADC at the edge of the images, as well as decreased spatial resolution and accuracy in ADC computations ove...
متن کاملA Method for Gradient Calibration in Diffusion Weighted Imaging
Introduction. Conventional gradient calibration procedures do not exclude significant bias in the diffusion-weighted (DW) signal during MR experiments. The error, arising from imperfections in the DW gradients, varies among the different gradient directions and exhibits different extent of offsets. We propose a calibration method for DW imaging using a homogeneous water phantom, presuming that ...
متن کاملApplications of high-resolution echoplanar spectroscopic imaging for structural imaging.
Echoplanar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) was introduced as a fast alternative for spectroscopic imaging and has been recently implemented on clinical scanners. With further advances in gradient hardware and processing strategies, EPSI can be used to obtain spectroscopic images whose spatial resolution parallels that of conventional anatomic images within clinically acceptable acquisition time. T...
