Bilateral Breast Imaging using Split-Symmetric Parallel Transmission
INTRODUCTION: Breast MRI at 7T is appealing because of the opportunity for improved contrast, spatial/temporal resolution, and spectral differentiation compared to clinical field strengths (1-6). However, a high-field bilateral system is challenging to design because of the conflicting requirements of a uniform transmit field and a large field-of-view (FOV), which is further complicated by the ...
متن کاملRobust Fat Suppression for High-resolution Diffusion-weighted Imaging
Introduction The diffusion-weighted imaging techniques can greatly benefit from an increase in image resolution as smaller voxels reductes the effects of partial volume with surrounding tissue. By scanning in the 3T environment a significant gain in SNR is achieved which facilitates the ability for higher resolution scans. In diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) it is important to acquire data with i...
متن کاملCombinatorial fat suppression for Diffusion Weighted Imaging at 3.0T
around the perimeter of the body, not including fat signal (red). 2(b) Example b = 800 s mm images of each of the tested fat suppression combinations. Note the loss of water signal in some of the images acquired using SSGR as demonstrated by the white arrow. Note that due to time restrictions not all fat suppression techniques could be tested on the same volunteer. Combinatorial fat suppression...
متن کاملWater/Fat Separation MR Improves Optical Breast Imaging MR Water/Fat Separation Improves Optical Breast Imaging
Background Optical imaging may be added to MR mammography to provide absolute concentration images of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin, water, and other endogenous and exogenous molecular agents. This is beneficial because hemoglobin and tissue oxygenation have been shown in several studies to have high specificity to breast cancer [1]. This combined optical/MR instrument has been shown t...
متن کاملImproved Fat Suppression With High Resolution Balanced Steady State Imaging in the Breast
(a) because of the variable level of fat suppression. Both 3DPR-SSFP with WC-SSFP (b) and IDEAL 3DPR-SSFP (c) provide a more consistent level of fat suppression allowing for better delineation of fine fibroglandular structure. IDEAL 3DPR-SSFP (c) also resolves fat-water swap due to B0 inhomogeneity in superior region of the breast. Red arrows: Note tiny gap in fibroglandular tissue in WC SSFP (...
