Intensity non-uniformity correction using N3 on 3-T scanners with multichannel phased array coils
Measures of structural brain change based on longitudinal MR imaging are increasingly important but can be degraded by intensity non-uniformity. This non-uniformity can be more pronounced at higher field strengths, or when using multichannel receiver coils. We assessed the ability of the non-parametric non-uniform intensity normalization (N3) technique to correct non-uniformity in 72 volumetric...
متن کاملImprovement of brain segmentation accuracy by optimizing non-uniformity correction using N3
Smoothly varying and multiplicative intensity variations within MR images that are artifactual, can reduce the accuracy of automated brain segmentation. Fortunately, these can be corrected. Among existing correction approaches, the nonparametric non-uniformity intensity normalization method N3 (Sled, J.G., Zijdenbos, A.P., Evans, A.C., 1998. Nonparametric method for automatic correction of inte...
متن کاملA Multichannel Radiofrequency Receiver for MRI Phased Array Coils
The main goal of the project is to develop a VME standard board with two independent radiofrequency inputs. Fast 12 bits A/D converter will digitize each channel at max. rate 40 MHz. After digitalization signal will be down converted by DDC (Harris HSP-50016 Digital Down Converter) with fully programmed intermediate frequency as well as phase. Detected signal from the DDC will be send to TMS320...
متن کاملOptimizing N3 parameters leads to better segmentation accuracy on 3T scanners
Introduction. Intensity non-uniformity can have detrimental effect on the accuracy of automated measurements of brain structures and can often be corrected only retrospectively. Among existing correction approaches, the nonparametric non-uniformity intensity normalization method N3 (1) is one of the most frequently used. However, at least one recent study (2) suggested that its performance on 3...
متن کاملPhased array antenna using MEMS phase shifter
This article presents a phased array antenna employing MEMS phase shifter. The proposed phased array antenna consists of eight square patch antennas operating at 10.4 GHz with a bandwidth of 400 MHz. Feed line for each patch passes through a MEMS phase shifter realized by a series of bridges above the transmission line. The distance between the bridge and the transmission line underneath it is ...
