Increased maximum gradient amplitude improves robustness of spin-echo cardiac diffusion-weighted MRI
Background Cardiac motion presents a major challenge in diffusion weighted MRI (DWI), often leading to large signal dropouts that necessitate repeated measurements (Pai, V.M., MRM 2011). While cardiac DWI is generally ECG gated to apply diffusion weighting during peak-systole or enddiastole, these intervals can be short and difficult to pinpoint, resulting in poor sequence reproducibility. Rece...
متن کاملcomparison of maximum signal intensity of magnevist contrast agent in modified t1 weighted spin echo, t1 weighted fast spin echo and t1 weighted gradient echo sequences
background: nowadays mri examinations have been widely used in clinical applications for many diagnoses. the use of contrast agent in mri improves lesion detection and characterization and causes more accurate diagnosis. objectives: the aim of this study was comparing to optimal dose of magnevist contrast agent in modified t1w se (spin echo), t1w fse (fast spin echo) and t1w gre (gradient ech...
متن کاملHigh-resolution spin-echo Cardiac Diffusion-Weighted MRI with motion compensated Convex Optimized Diffusion Encoding (CODE)
Background Cardiac Diffusion Weighted MRI (cDWI) has the potential to characterize myocardial infarction (MI) without contrast. However, the clinical utility of cDWI has been limited by severe sensitivity to cardiac motion that manifests as signal dropouts which corrupt measures of myocardial diffusivity. This can be managed by carefully timing the diffusion encoding gradients (GDiff) to a quie...
متن کاملObservation of microscopic diffusion anisotropy in the spinal cord using double-pulsed gradient spin echo MRI.
A double-pulsed gradient spin echo (d-PGSE) filtered MRI sequence is proposed to detect microscopic diffusion anisotropy in heterogeneous specimen. The technique was developed, in particular, to characterize local microscopic anisotropy in specimens that are macroscopically isotropic, such as gray matter. In such samples, diffusion tensor MRI (DTI) produces an isotropic or nearly isotropic diff...
متن کاملStructure Tensor Informed Fiber Tractography (STIFT) by combining gradient echo MRI and diffusion weighted imaging
Structural connectivity research in the human brain in vivo relies heavily on fiber tractography in diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI). The accurate mapping of white matter pathways would gain from images with a higher resolution than the typical ~2mm isotropic DWI voxel size. Recently, high field gradient echo MRI (GE) has attracted considerable attention for its detailed anatomical contrast even wi...
