High-Contrast and High-SNR SWI Venography with Multiple Echo datasets

چکیده
Introduction Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) method is commonly used for Magnetic Resonance (MR) venography. The difference between SWI and conventional GRE imaging is that phase information of signal is incorporated to enhance contrast of image. The phase can provide excellent contrast between venous blood vessels and other tissues with susceptibilities that are different from the background tissue [1]. Although SWI is very powerful technique, SWI technique still has some weaknesses, regarding a trade-off between the gain of venous contrast and the loss of SNR. In this study, we propose a new approach to obtain high-contrast and high-SNR SWI venography with multiple echo datasets.

The vein structures of the brain are important for understanding brain function and structure, especially when functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is utilized, as fMRI is based on changes in the blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal, which is directly related to veins. The aim of the present study was to develop an effective method to produce high signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) and h...
