Spin Locked Steady-State Free Precession Imaging
Introduction: T1ρ MRI is typically performed by magnetization preparation followed by a readout sequence during which the T1ρ-weighted signal is frequency and phase encoded (1). This paradigm is inherently time inefficient and, instead, it might be desirable to continuously acquire the T1ρ-weighted signal in the steady-state. Unfortunately, it isn’t clear how to establish a steady-state T1ρ con...
متن کاملLinear combination steady-state free precession MRI.
A new, fast, spectrally selective steady-state free precession (SSFP) imaging method is presented. Combining k-space data from SSFP sequences with certain phase schedules of radiofrequency excitation pulses permits manipulation of the spectral selectivity of the image. For example, lipid and water can be resolved. The contrast of each image depends on both T1 and T2, and the relative contributi...
متن کاملMR angiography using steady-state free precession.
Contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) using steady-state free precession (SSFP) pulse sequences is described. Using SSFP, vascular structures can be visualized with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at a substantial (delay) time after the initial arterial pass of contrast media. The peak blood SSFP signal was diminished by <20% 30 min after the initial administration of 0.2 mmol/kg of Gd-che...
متن کاملResting-State fMRI Using Passband Balanced Steady-State Free Precession
OBJECTIVE Resting-state functional MRI (rsfMRI) has been increasingly used for understanding brain functional architecture. To date, most rsfMRI studies have exploited blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast using gradient-echo (GE) echo planar imaging (EPI), which can suffer from image distortion and signal dropout due to magnetic susceptibility and inherent long echo time. In this s...
متن کاملSNR using balanced steady-state free precession (b-SSFP)
A brief overview of the signal-to-noise ratio in MR imaging; including the sources of signal and noise and their respective parameters for optimization. In particular, the balanced SSFP sequence is presented as an example of a special type of gradient-echo (GE) sequence where the dephasing due to readout gradient is exactly zero. Thus b-SSFP yields a very high SNR, in some applications, by cont...
