Snapshot gradient-recalled echo-planar images of rat brains at long echo time at 9.4 T.
With improved B 0 homogeneity along with satisfactory gradient performance at high magnetic fields, snapshot gradient-recalled echo-planar imaging (GRE-EPI) would perform at long echo times (TEs) on the order of T2*, which intrinsically allows obtaining strongly T2*-weighted images with embedded substantial anatomical details in ultrashort time. The aim of this study was to investigate the feas...
متن کاملActivation of the sensorimotor cortex at 1.0 T: comparison of echo-planar and gradient-echo imaging.
PURPOSE The increasing demand for the clinical application of functional MR imaging raises the question of whether this technique can be routinely performed on 1.0-T MR scanners. To this end, we assessed the feasibility of functional MR imaging at 1.0 T. METHODS Healthy volunteers were scanned during the performance of a motor task. Functional data were acquired with echo-planar imaging (EPI)...
متن کاملMR imaging of the cavernous sinus: value of spin echo and gradient recalled echo images.
A detailed evaluation of the MR appearance of the pituitary gland-cavernous sinus junction has not been described. In a series of coronal T1-weighted spin echo images without and with IV gadolinium, we noted the variable size and signal intensity of cavernous venous spaces adjacent to the pituitary gland and the inconsistent visualization of the dural membrane just lateral to the gland. Correla...
متن کاملGradient recalled echo MR imaging of the jugular foramen.
Axial T1-weighted spin-echo MR images have not proved to be effective in identifying normal structures in the jugular foramen. By correlating cryomicrotomic sections and axial T1-weighted gradient recalled echo images, we identified the neural and vascular contents of the jugular foramen. Further work with gradient recalled echo images is needed to determine the signal characteristics of jugula...
متن کاملCenter-out echo-planar spectroscopic imaging with correction of gradient-echo phase and time shifts.
A procedure to prevent the formation of image and spectral Nyquist ghosts in echo-planar spectroscopic imaging is introduced. It is based on a novel Cartesian center-out echo-planar spectroscopic imaging trajectory, referred to as EPSICO, and combined with a correction of the gradient-echo phase and time shifts. Processing of homogenous sets of forward and reflected echoes is no longer necessar...
