Correction of B0 induced slice profile distortion using parallel transmit
Introduction: With the advent of parallel transmit (PTx), there has been much interest in creating complex spatially localised excitations. The algorithms which calculate the requisite pulses [1,2] require an estimate of the B1 field produced by each coil, and also a map of the B0 (off resonance) field, since this distorts the excited magnetisation profiles. In fact spatially localized excitati...
متن کاملMotion Correction in fMRI by Mapping Slice-to-Volume with Concurrent Field-Inhomogeneity Correction
Head motion is the major source of error in measuring intensity changes related to given stimuli in fMRI. The effects of head motion are image shifts and field inhomogeneity variations which cause local changes in geometric distortions. The previously developed motion correction method, mapping slice-to-volume (MSV), retrospectively remaps slices that are shifted by head motion to their spatial...
متن کاملImproved Slice Excitation for Ultra-short TE Imaging with B0 and Linear Eddy Current Correction
INTRODUCTION MR imaging with ultra short echo times (UTEs) are of increasing interest to visualize tissues with short T2 or T2*, such as cartilage and ligaments, or monitoring the temperature during cryosurgery [1]. To achieve ultra-short TEs, a self-refocused half RF is usually used for excitation [2]. However, eddy currents induced by the selective gradient can result in undesirable slice pro...
متن کاملConsistency Assessment for R2 Measurements Obtained with Different Techniques at 7 Tesla
Introduction R2 relaxometry has been established as an important technique in various quantitative MR approaches [1, 2]. In practice, transverse relaxation of H nucleus usually deviates from the ideal mono-exponential decay due to the influences of various factors such as B0 inhomogeneity [3] and slice profile imperfection [4]. Free induction decay (FID) distortion causes discrepancy between R2...
متن کاملSparse spokes slice selective design for B1 inhomogeneity correction at 7T
Introduction: At high magnetic field strength, B1 inhomogeneity causes undesired effects of non-uniformity in SNR and contrast. For slice selective excitation, 3D RF pulse design proposed in [1,2,3], can be used to mitigate this B1 inhomogeneity effect. These designs are based on playing kz sinc spokes of different amplitude at a number of (kx,ky) locations around the k-space origin. The sinc...
