چکیده

A fast chemical-shift imaging using the gradient-echo technique is proposed for the separation of the water and fat in human in vivo imaging. This technique also incorporates magnetic field inhomogeneity correction in the fast chemical-shift imaging. Experimental results of the proposed imaging technique demonstrate that the method would be useful for quick in vivo water-fat separation imaging with a substantially shorter time than the conventional spin-echo imaging sequence.

Fast Spectroscopic Imaging (F-uTSI) of Angiogenesis on Vx-2 Tumors in Rabbits Using Targeted Perfluorocarbon Emulsions

Quantitative molecular MR imaging of angiogenesis may fulfill an unmet clinical need for patient stratification by increasing efficacy of antiangiogenic therapy. In particular, perfluorocarbons targeted to αvβ3 have been used to image angiogenesis through paramagnetic markers and also direct detection by F MR imaging or spectroscopy [1,2,3]. F offers several advantages including absolute quanti...

GRASE (gradient- and spin-echo) MR imaging: a new fast clinical imaging technique.

A novel technique of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, which combines gradient-echo and spin-echo (GRASE) technique, accomplishes T2-weighted multisection imaging in drastically reduced imaging time, currently 24 times faster than spin-echo imaging. The GRASE technique maintains contrast mechanisms, high spatial resolution, and image quality of spin-echo imaging and is compatible with clinical w...

GRASE (gradient- and spin-echo) MR of the brain.

PURPOSE To assess the clinical utility of GRASE (gradient- and spin-echo) MR imaging of the brain by comparing it with the T2-weighted turbo spin-echo technique. METHODS Fifty-three consecutive patients referred for MR imaging of the brain were studied with T2-weighted turbo spin-echo and GRASE techniques, matched for effective echo time (110 milliseconds), echo train length (eight), and spat...

Comparison of spin-echo MR pulse sequences for imaging of the brain.

PURPOSE To determine the value of the gradient- and spin-echo (GRASE) technique as compared with the fast spin-echo and conventional spin-echo techniques in MR imaging of the brain. METHODS Sixty-six patients with ischemic and neoplastic brain lesions were examined with T2-weighted spin-echo, fast spin-echo, and GRASE sequences. Three independent observers evaluated the contrast characteristi...

Turbo Spin Echo Bloch Siegert Shift B1 Mapping

An interesting method for B1 mapping based on the Bloch-Siegert (BLS) shift was recently presented (1,2) for gradient echo (FLASH) and Spin Echo (SE) sequences. This method uses off-resonant pulses before signal acquisition to encode the B1 information into the signal phase. Fast B1 mapping is possible since the repetition time has only minor influence on the quality of the phase information. I...
