Imaging gray matter with concomitant null point imaging from the phase sensitive inversion recovery sequence
PURPOSE To present an improved three-dimensional (3D) interleaved phase sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) sequence including a concomitantly acquired new contrast, null point imaging (NPI), to help detect and classify abnormalities in cortical gray matter. METHODS The 3D gradient echo PSIR images were acquired at 0.6 mm isotropic resolution on 11 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and 9 contr...
متن کاملUltra-High Field Optimization of the Double Inversion Recovery (DIR) sequence: Gray Matter Imaging at 7T
Target Audience: Clinicians and scientists who perform gray matter imaging and lesion detection with the DIR sequence. Purpose: The goal of this project was to develop an optimized double inversion recovery (DIR) sequence [1] for gray matter imaging at ultra-high field (7 Tesla). Several issues compromise image quality and scanning efficiency when the DIR sequence is used at ultra-high field: S...
متن کاملImproved carotid intraplaque hemorrhage imaging using a slab-selective phase-sensitive inversion-recovery (SPI) sequence.
Intraplaque hemorrhage in atherosclerotic plaques has been associated with accelerated plaque growth as well as exacerbation of clinical symptoms. The identification of intraplaque hemorrhage using magnetic resonance imaging primarily relies on the detection of methemoglobin on T(1) weighted images. Current techniques are limited by insufficient intraplaque hemorrhage-wall contrast and poor blo...
متن کامل3D Double Inversion Recovery for High Resolution Gray Matter Brain Imaging
Gray matter (GM) images with high spatial resolution are obtained at 1.5T with a new multislab 3D double inversion recovery sequence that selectively suppresses cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and white matter (WM). Images show a clear delineation of GM from WM and CSF, also for small GM structures such as the entorhinal cortex, of importance in Alzheimer's disease. Feasibility is demonstrated for th...
متن کاملThe effect of inversion times on the minimum signal intensity of the contrast agent concentration using inversion recovery t1-weighted fast imaging sequence
Background :Inversion recovery (IR) pulse sequences can generate T1-weighted images with a different range of inversion time (TI) to suppress or null the signal intensity (SI) for a specified tissue. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of TI values on the concentration of the contrast agent, which leads to a minimum signal intensity, using an inversion recovery T1-weighted 3-dim...
