Improved SNR in phase contrast velocimetry with five-point balanced flow encoding.
Phase contrast velocimetry can be utilized to measure complex flow for both quantitative and qualitative assessment of vascular hemodynamics. However, phase contrast requires that a maximum measurable velocity be set that balances noise and phase aliasing. To efficiently reduce noise in phase contrast images, several investigators have proposed extended velocity encoding schemes that use extra ...
متن کاملA novel method of increasing the contrast to noise ratio of phase images using balanced SSFP
Introduction Balanced SSFP (bSSFP) has particular advantages over GRE [1, 2]. However, with few exceptions [2, 3], most of the bSSFP studies have utilized only the image magnitude and ignored the image phase. Recently at high field (≥ 7 Tesla), contrast based on resonance frequency shifts (or phase in gradient-echo MRI) has allowed improved visualization of fine-scale structures in brain [4]. T...
متن کاملFirst attempt to motion corrected flow encoding using free-breathing phase-contrast CINE MRI
Background Phase-contrast MRI encodes speed and direction of moving spins by means of toggling a bipolar gradient. It is a valuable tool for assessing conditions affecting the vascular system by measuring the velocity of flowing blood[2]. Clinically, this sequence is performed in breath-hold or in free breathing but, in the latter case, using signal averaging. We propose to demonstrate the feas...
متن کاملA Novel Phase Encoding Scheme for Optical Packet Label Processing
An optical packet label encoding scheme based on synchronously modulated DPSK labels is proposed and demonstrated. This scheme allows high packet extinction ratio and supports low data rate DPSK label encoding and detection.
متن کاملIncreased robustness and speed in low-dose phase-contrast tomography with laboratory sources
In this article we discuss three different developments in Edge Illumination (EI) X-ray phase contrast imaging (XPCi), all ultimately aimed at optimising EI computed tomography (CT) for use in different environments, and for different applications. For the purpose of reducing scan times, two approaches are presented; the “reverse projection” acquisition scheme which allows a continuous rotation...
