Hadamard slice encoding for reduced-FOV diffusion-weighted imaging.
PURPOSE To improve the clinical utility of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) by extending the slice coverage of a high-resolution reduced field-of-view technique. THEORY Challenges in achieving high spatial resolution restrict the use of DWI in assessment of small structures such as the spinal cord. A reduced field-of-view method with 2D echo-planar radiofrequency (RF) excitation was recently ...
متن کاملHadamard Slice Encoding for Reduced-FOV Single-Shot Diffusion-Weighted EPI
Introduction: A reduced field-of-view (FOV) single-shot EPI (ss-EPI) method that uses a 2D echoplanar RF (2D-EPRF) excitation has recently been proposed for high-resolution DWI [1]. This method takes advantage of ss-EPI’s robustness against motion during diffusion encoding gradients. Furthermore, it allows for contiguous multi-slice imaging without the need for slice skip. However, there is a l...
متن کاملMulti-Slice Parallel Excitation Reduced FOV Imaging for Rodent EPI Applications
Introduction Echo-planar imaging (EPI) offers major advantages over conventional MR imaging, including reduced imaging time and the ability to image rapid physiologic processes [1]. However, signal decay and off-resonance effects limit the possible duration of the EPI echo train, requiring high resolution EPI to combine k-space signals from several sequential excitations. Multiple shot techniqu...

متن کاملMyocardial fiber orientation mapping using reduced encoding diffusion tensor imaging.
A precise knowledge of the myocardial fiber architecture is essential to accurately understand and interpret cardiac electrical and mechanical functions. Diffusion tensor imaging has been used to noninvasively and quantitatively characterize myocardial fiber orientations. However, because the approach necessitates diffusion to be measured in multiple encoding directions and frequently at multip...
