متن کاملMagnetization transfer contrast imaging of hepatic neoplasms.
A method of performing magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) using a pulse sequence based on a series of on-resonance binomial pulses preceding a conventional spin-echo sequence has been recently described. We investigated this technique in the evaluation of circumscribed hepatic neoplasms on a 0.5 T imager. Conventional spin-echo imaging was performed in 18 patients with hepatic neoplasms, 15 ...
متن کاملParallel Imaging with RASER using Multiband Frequency-modulated Excitation Pulses
Introduction: The recently described RASER sequence is a conceptual novelty in MR imaging [1]. Based on frequency-swept excitation, and timeencoding, RASER is a rapid, pure T2-weighted scheme without signal voids, ghosting and distortion artifacts present in conventional echo-planar imaging (EPI). These properties render it attractive for functional imaging (fMRI). However, in the previous impl...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted EPI with magnetization transfer contrast.
Capabilities of diffusion-weighted (DW) and magnetization transfer (MT) imaging are well established for tissue characterization in various pathologies individually. However, the effect of suppression of macromolecules on applying MT pulse on signals associated with DW imaging and resulting change in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of water molecules has not been demonstrated previousl...
متن کاملQuantitative magnetization transfer imaging using balanced SSFP.
It is generally accepted that signal formation in balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) is a simple function of relaxation times and flip angle only. This can be confirmed for fluids, but for more complex substances, magnetization transfer (MT) can lead to a considerable loss of steady-state signal. Thus, especially in tissues, the analytical description of bSSFP requires a revision to ...
