Uncertainty and bias in contrast concentration measurements using spoiled gradient echo pulse sequences.
Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is a widely used technique for assessing tissue physiology. Spoiled gradient echo (SPGR) pulse sequences are one of the most common methods for acquisition of DCE-MRI data, providing high temporal and spatial resolution with strong T(1)-weighting. Conversion of SPGR signal to concentration is briefly reviewed, and a new closed-form ...
متن کاملSpoiled & Balanced Gradient-Echo Sequences
1 Introduction Rapid imaging sequences are characterized by a fast train of excitation and gradient pulses. Between excitation pulses or within TR, the magnetization is not able to return to its thermal equilibrium. As a consequence, excitation pulses will influence both the remaining transversal and the remaining longitudinal magnetization. The steady-state magnetization of a multi pulse exper...
متن کاملGradient-Echo Pulse Sequences
The basic idea of parallel imaging is to reduce the number of acquisition steps (i.e. phase-encoding steps) by decreasing the sampling density in kspace. Artefacts, in particular aliasing artefacts, that would result from the reduced sampling density are compensated by employing image data from several independent coil elements with different spatial sensitivity profi les for reconstruction. Th...
متن کاملSpoiled & Balanced Gradient Echo Methods
Imaging with spoiled, balanced or nonbalanced gradient echo (GRE) refers to a class of fast imaging sequences that use a dynamic equilibrium or steady state signal for imaging. As originally introduced in 1958 by Carr (1) for NMR spectroscopy, a dynamic equilibrium or steadystate can be established by a train of radio-frequency (RF) excitation pulses interleaved by periods of ‘free precession’,...
متن کاملParameter Optimization for Quantitative Signal-Concentration Mapping Using Spoiled Gradient Echo MRI
Rationale and Objectives. Accurate signal to tracer concentration maps are critical to quantitative MRI. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and optimize spoiled gradient echo (SPGR) MR sequences for the use of gadolinium (Gd-DTPA) as a kinetic tracer. Methods. Water-gadolinium phantoms were constructed for a physiologic range of gadolinium concentrations. Observed and calculated SPGR sig...
