Skin Imaging at 7T
High-resolution in vivo imaging is SNR-limited. Recently, 7 nL resolution skin imaging was demonstrated at 3 T, using a dedicated 1-inch-diameter receive-only coil [1]. At 7 T, 16 nL resolution images were obtained with a 4-inch-diameter transmit-receive coil [2]. Small coils are well suited to high-field systems where they behave as mid-range coils [3]. However, frequency offsets due to chemic...
متن کاملA Novel Whole Body Diffusion Weighted Imaging Technique with Continuously Moving Table: Preliminary Results
INTRODUCTION Influenced by the successful application of DWI to intracranial diseases, application of multistation DWI to whole-body has been proposed and used clinically for extracranial diseases [1]. However, the clinical impact of wbDWI remains limited due to technical difficulties which are inherent characteristics of multistation approach. As the continuously moving table (CMT) approach ha...
متن کاملUsing a whole-body 31P birdcage transmit coil and 16-element receive array for human cardiac metabolic imaging at 7T
PURPOSE Cardiac phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P-MRS) provides unique insight into the mechanisms of heart failure. Yet, clinical applications have been hindered by the restricted sensitivity of the surface radiofrequency-coils normally used. These permit the analysis of spectra only from the interventricular septum, or large volumes of myocardium, which may not be meaningful in ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) of the human head at 7T: first results with a 70 mT/m whole body gradient system
Introduction High resolution diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) provides a step towards depicting in vivo smaller fiber tracts such as U-fibers between different cortical and subcortical functional areas. Additionally, smaller pathologies might be detected at an earlier stage [1-4]. Ultra-high fields such as 7T will be advantageous as an initially higher signal-to-noise ratio should allow increased...
متن کاملFeasibility of Applying Mb Epi Pcasl for High-resolution Whole Brain Perfusion Imaging at 7t
Target audience: Arterial spin labeling researchers, neuroimaging scientists and clinicians Purpose Ultra high fields, (≥7T), should provide significant advantages for high-resolution whole brain perfusion imaging due to greatly increased blood T1 and signal noise ratio (SNR). However, there exist several challenges: B1 and B0 inhomogeneity, high specific absorption rate (SAR) and shortened T2*...
