Clinical evaluation of zero-echo-time MR imaging for the segmentation of the skull.
UNLABELLED MR-based attenuation correction is instrumental for integrated PET/MR imaging. It is generally achieved by segmenting MR images into a set of tissue classes with known attenuation properties (e.g., air, lung, bone, fat, soft tissue). Bone identification with MR imaging is, however, quite challenging, because of the low proton density and fast decay time of bone tissue. The clinical e...
متن کاملZTE imaging with enhanced flip angle using modulated excitation.
PURPOSE Zero echo time (ZTE) imaging is a fast, robust, and silent three-dimensional technique for direct MRI of tissues with rapid transverse relaxation. It is conventionally performed with hard, block-shaped excitation pulses short enough to excite spins uniformly over a large bandwidth. With this approach, the achievable flip angle (FA) is limited by the available B1 amplitude. The purpose o...
متن کاملArtifacts Correction in MRI Imaging Using RF Pulse Phase Modulation and Recurrence Solving
Currently MRI is extensively used in medical analysis to produce high-eminence images for its a variety of useful features, such as high-resolution potential, subjective anatomic cross-sectional image, and high tissue contrast. In habitual magnetic resonance imaging the presence of artifacts in images is a part of the practice, few are readily identified and others can be interpreted as patholo...
متن کاملHigh-Power T/R Switches with 350 ns Rise Time for Zero Echo Time Imaging
Introduction: High-power transmit-receive (T/R) switches are a core component of pulsed NMR and MRI spectrometers. The usually employed PIN diodes offer low losses and high power handling capabilities, but are inherently slow semiconductors and let switches usually transit within 5-20 μs from transmission to reception. For liquid state NMR methods, this dead-time is mostly not a big caveat, how...
متن کاملEvaluation of the confounding factors disturbing the quality of CT images of pulmonary angiography
Background: Since pulmonary angiography is the only non-invasive method for diagnosing pulmonary embolism, the use of radiation reduction methods without affecting the quality of images seems necessary. One of the simplest reasons for unnecessarily increasing of patient exposure is repetitive imaging due to poor image quality. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and ...
