Respiratory-Gated Continuously Moving Table 3D MRI
B. Aldefeld, P. Börnert, J. Keupp, K. Nehrke Philips Research Laboratories, Hamburg, Germany Introduction When continuously moving table imaging is applied to an extended virtual FOV that includes the abdomen and chest, the physiological motion of the patient must be addressed to achieve optimum image quality. Scanning under breath-hold conditions is unacceptable in most cases because scan time...
متن کاملContrast Manipulation in 3D Whole-Body Continuously Moving Table MRI using Magnetization Preparation and k-Space Segmentation
J. Keupp, P. Börnert, B. Aldefeld Philips Research Laboratories, Hamburg, Germany Introduction The ability to create clinically relevant image contrasts in continuously moving table (CMT) imaging [1] is a pre-requisite to enable applications such as metastases screening in cancer patients. Contrast variation can be achieved using appropriate magnetization preparations, interlaced in the pulse s...
متن کاملTwo Approaches to Water/Fat Selective Whole-Body Continuously Moving Table 3D Imaging
P. Börnert, B. Aldefeld, J. Keupp, H. Eggers Philips Research Laboratories, Hamburg, Germany Introduction Non-invasive measurement of the fat distribution using MRI may be of interest for future whole-body screening procedures. For example, the perilesional fat sparing can serve as an indicator for tumors or their metastases. Furthermore, the amount of body fat and its local bio-distribution sh...
متن کاملA Novel Whole Body Diffusion Weighted Imaging Technique with Continuously Moving Table: Preliminary Results
INTRODUCTION Influenced by the successful application of DWI to intracranial diseases, application of multistation DWI to whole-body has been proposed and used clinically for extracranial diseases [1]. However, the clinical impact of wbDWI remains limited due to technical difficulties which are inherent characteristics of multistation approach. As the continuously moving table (CMT) approach ha...
متن کاملWhole Body-MRI imaging with a continuously moving table platform in detection of metastatic disease in cancer patients First Results of a feasibility study
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new protocol for axial Whole Body-MRI imaging performed with a continuously moving table platform in comparison to Whole Body-MRI using a multi-station coronal Turbo-STIR as a staging and screening method in cancer patients.The first results of our study demonstrated that Whole Body-MRI as a fast and accurate examination in cancer patients in nearly 1...
