Cluster-based segmentation of dual-echo ultra-short echo time images for PET/MR bone localization
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance (MR)-based attenuation correction is a critical component of integrated positron emission tomography (PET)/MR scanners. It is generally achieved by segmenting MR images into tissue classes with known attenuation properties (e.g., bone, fat, soft tissue, lung, air). Ultra-short echo time (UTE) have been proposed in the past to locate bone tissue. In this study, tri-...
متن کاملMRI with zero echo time: hard versus sweep pulse excitation.
Zero echo time can be obtained in MRI by performing radiofrequency (RF) excitation as well as acquisition in the presence of a constant gradient applied for purely frequency-encoded, radial centre-out k-space encoding. In this approach, the spatially nonselective excitation must uniformly cover the full frequency bandwidth spanned by the readout gradient. This can be accomplished either by shor...
متن کاملIterative Soft-Thresholding Reconstruction for Time-of-Flight MR Angiography
Introduction: Time-of-Flight MR angiography (TOF-MRA) is a non-invasive technique that utilizes the signal enhancement due to blood inflow effects for imaging the blood vessel anatomy. Vascular images are inherently sparse and can be made even sparser in a suitable transform domain (e.g. wavelet transform), making MR angiography a natural application of Compressed Sensing (CS) [1]. There are tw...
متن کاملDistal Lower Extremities: Prospective Comparison of 2D Time-of-Flight, 3D Time-Resolved Contrast-Enhanced MR Angiography, and 3D Bolus Chase Contrast-Enhanced MR Angiography
W. Y. Hahn, E. M. Hecht, B. Friedman, V. S. Lee NYU Medical Center, New York, NY, United States SYNOPSIS: Magnetic resonance angiography of the calf and pedal arteries is challenging due to the issues of venous contamination and small vessel size. Therefore, contrast-enhanced MRA is typically supplemented with TOF imaging below the knee. In this study, we compared the conventional TOF sequence ...
متن کاملVisualization of Middle Ear Ossicles in Elder Subjects with Ultra-short Echo Time MR Imaging
PURPOSE To evaluate the visualization of middle ear ossicles by ultra-short echo time magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at 3T in subjects over 50 years old. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty ears from 30 elder patients that underwent surgical or interventional treatment for neurovascular diseases were included (ages: 50-82, median age: 65; 10 men, 20 women). Patients received follow-up MR imaging inc...
