Ghost-Free Spin-Echo Echo Planar Imaging Method for Diffusion Weighted Images using Adaptive RF Pulses
Y. Han, J. Hwang, J-Y. Chung, H. Park Department of Electrical Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon, Korea, Republic of Introduction Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can provide valuable information regarding brain connectivity and neurological diseases. However, acquiring DTI is not an easy process because it has to be acquired in a short period of time with h...
متن کاملDesigning RF Refocusing Pulses for Parallel Transmit Spin Echo Sequences
INTRODUCTION Parallel transmission of RF pulses [1, 2] has shown great potential in B1 inhomogeneity correction at high fields [3]. Most of the existing applications of parallel transmission, however, have been restricted to only gradient echo due to lack of systematic design of parallel transmit refocusing pulses. The difficulty of designing such pulses lies in that 1) the large flip angle nat...
متن کاملAssessment of the Characteristics of MRI Coils in Terms of RF Non-Homogeneity Using Routine Spin Echo Sequences
Introduction: One of the major causes of image non-uniformity in MRI is due to the existence of non-homogeneity in RF receive and transmit. This can be the most effective source of error in quantitative studies in MRI imaging. Part of this non-homogeneity demonstrates the characteristics of RF coil and part of it is due to the interaction of RF field with the material being imaged...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional spatially-selective RF excitation pulses in echo-planar imaging.
Two-dimensional spatially-selective RF (2DRF) excitation pulses were developed for single-shot echo-planar imaging (EPI) with reduced field of view (FOV) in the phase-encoding direction. The decreased number of k-space lines significantly shortens the length of the EPI echo train. Thus, both gradient-echo and spin-echo 2DRF-EPI images of the human brain at 2.0 T exhibit markedly reduced suscept...
متن کاملSmall Fov Imaging Using Wavelet Encoding with 2 Dimensional Rf Pulses and Gradient Echo
Introduction: Several magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications, such as cardiac imaging and functional MRI, require the use of small Field of View (FOV) imaging to achieve dynamic MR studies. However, using small FOV with Fourier encoding results in aliased images in the phase encoding direction. Several approaches have been used to solve the aliasing problem. Among the proposed techniques...
