Slice Encoding for Metal Artefact Correction in magnetic resonance imaging examinations for radiotherapy planning
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) images are degraded in the presence of metallic implants. We investigate whether SEMAC (Slice Encoding for Metal Artifact Correction) MR is advantageous for radiotherapy (RT) planning. METHODS Conventional and SEMAC MR protocols were compared (1.5T). A spine fixation device suspended in gelatine, two patients with spi...
متن کاملCompressive Slice Encoding for Metal Artifact Correction
Introduction: Slice encoding for metal artifact correction (SEMAC) [1] completely corrects metal-induced in-plane and through-plane distortions. The SEMAC imaging sequence (Fig. 1) augments a view-angle-tilting (VAT) [2] spin echo sequence with z-phase encoding. While the VATcompensation gradient suppresses the in-plane distortions, the throughplane distortions are corrected by combining multip...
متن کاملAdaptive Slice Encoding for Metal Artifact Correction
Introduction: Metallic implants can cause moderate or severe distortion artifacts in MR images depending on the shape, size, composition and orientation of the implant. Recentlyproposed methods correct image distortion due to susceptibility shifts near metallic implants by using excitation of limited bandwidths [1] or limited spatial slices [2], both followed by 3D imaging. Here we demonstrate ...
متن کاملAccelerated slice encoding for metal artifact correction.
PURPOSE To demonstrate accelerated imaging with both artifact reduction and different contrast mechanisms near metallic implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Slice-encoding for metal artifact correction (SEMAC) is a modified spin echo sequence that uses view-angle tilting and slice-direction phase encoding to correct both in-plane and through-plane artifacts. Standard spin echo trains and short-TI ...
