Real-Time Artefact Corrections for Quantitative MR Temperature Mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
Apart from anatomical and physiological imaging, MRI can also be used to produce temperature maps. Our objective is to obtain such maps in real-time to monitor mini-invasive thermal therapies. The acquisition procedure of temperature MRI produces specific artefacts : noise generated by MRI, motion artefacts and geometric distortions. Here, numerical methods are described for attenuation of such artefacts. The methods are based on a physical description of the origin of such artefacts in MR temperature mapping.

Feasibility of real-time MR thermal dose mapping for predicting radiofrequency ablation outcome in the myocardium in vivo
BACKGROUND Clinical treatment of cardiac arrhythmia by radiofrequency ablation (RFA) currently lacks quantitative and precise visualization of lesion formation in the myocardium during the procedure. This study aims at evaluating thermal dose (TD) imaging obtained from real-time magnetic resonance (MR) thermometry on the heart as a relevant indicator of the thermal lesion extent. METHODS MR t...
متن کاملQuantitative assessment of the susceptibility artefact and its interaction with motion in diffusion MRI
In this paper we evaluate the three main methods for correcting the susceptibility-induced artefact in diffusion-weighted magnetic-resonance (DW-MR) data, and assess how correction is affected by the susceptibility field's interaction with motion. The susceptibility artefact adversely impacts analysis performed on the data and is typically corrected in post-processing. Correction strategies inv...

متن کاملThe finite temperature real time h̄ 2 corrections in quantum mechanics
The finite temperature real time ¯ h 2 corrections in quantum mechanics Abstract We study non-perturbative real time correlation functions at finite temperature. In order to see whether the classical term gives a good approximation in the high temperature limit T ≫ ¯ hω, we consider the first ¯ h 2 quantum corrections. We find that for the simplest non-trivial case, the quantum mechanical anhar...
متن کاملThe importance of phase drift correction for accurate MR thermometry in long duration MR-HIFU exposures
Background/introduction In MRI-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRHIFU) therapy, temperature-dependent proton resonance frequency (PRF) shift is a key factor to quantify and visualize the spatial heating pattern in treated and surrounding tissue. However, during treatment, multiple scanner-related changes can impact the accuracy of the temperature measurements obtained with the PRF shi...
