MRI with zero echo time: hard versus sweep pulse excitation.
Zero echo time can be obtained in MRI by performing radiofrequency (RF) excitation as well as acquisition in the presence of a constant gradient applied for purely frequency-encoded, radial centre-out k-space encoding. In this approach, the spatially nonselective excitation must uniformly cover the full frequency bandwidth spanned by the readout gradient. This can be accomplished either by shor...
متن کاملTIME-DOMAlN ZERO-FIELD MAGNETIC RESONANCE WITH FIELD PULSE EXCITATION
The principal attraction of magnetic resonance in zero field is the isotropy of space which allows one to record high-resolution spectra even for powder samples. This extends the domain of magnetic resonance to systems of which large single crystals cannot be grown. Normally, senslhvlty considerations do not pernut direct observation of zero-field resonance and special high-sensltlvity procedur...
متن کاملFunctional MRI with variable echo time acquisition.
A new functional MRI protocol that integrates variable echo time (TE) acquisition and a block-design paradigm is proposed and evaluated with finger-tapping motor task. Simulations and experimental data show that the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) sensitivity achieved with this approach is comparable to that achieved using a conventional constant-TE protocol. The proposed variable-TE f...
متن کاملQuantitative contrast-enhanced MRI with superparamagnetic nanoparticles using ultrashort time-to-echo pulse sequences.
PURPOSE Conventional MRI using contrast agents is semiquantitative because it is inherently sensitive to extravoxular susceptibility artifacts, field inhomogeneity, partial voluming, perivascular effects, and motion/flow artifacts. Herein we demonstrate a quantitative contrast-enhanced MRI technique using ultrashort time-to-echo pulse sequences for measuring clinically relevant concentrations o...
متن کاملPreliminary use of a double-echo pulse sequence with 3D ultrashort echo time in the MRI of bones and joints
The aim of the present study was to investigate the application of a double-echo pulse sequence with 3D ultrashort echo time (UTE) in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of bones and joints. In total, 7 healthy volunteers and 1 volunteer with a suspected tear of the lateral meniscus of the left knee joint underwent MRI with a double-echo pulse sequence and 3D UTE. The imaging was performed on ...
