Benefits of higher magnetic fields for diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) based on single-shot STEAM MRI sequences: In vivo mouse brain studies at 2.35 T and 7 T
Introduction In theory, the NMR signal is expected to scale more than linearly with magnetic field strength [1]. On the other hand, practical MRI applications such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) using echo-planar imaging (EPI) are also affected by a marked reduction of T2 and T2* relaxation times, the latter referring to enhanced magnetic field inhomogeneities with corresponding geometric di...
متن کاملMulti-shot Diffusion-Weighted Split-Echo PROPELLER MRI of the Abdomen
Introduction Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) provides a non-invasive method for in vivo evaluation of tissue water mobility. Most DWI studies employ single-shot DWEPI techniques which can suffer severe artifacts and image distortion in abdominal imaging applications. Multi-shot TSE-based DW-PROPELLER [1] may overcome these limitations. DW-PROPELLER for brain [2] and abdominal [3] imaging has demon...
متن کامل7122 In vivo high resolution , undistorted diffusion weighted imaging using DSDE - TFE
Purpose: to explore DSDE-TFE for in vivo high resolution, undistorted DWI and ADC calculation. Background: Diffusion weighted MRI is commonly performed using a single shot spin echo EPI acquisition. EPI techniques, however, are very sensitive to B0 inhomogeneities due to susceptibility differences. This causes geometrical distortions.Because of the high sensitivity to motion, DW-EPI is mostly c...
متن کاملHigh-field diffusion tensor imaging of mouse brain in vivo using single-shot STEAM MRI.
Information about the microstructural organization of cerebral white matter that is accessible by magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) gains increasing importance for studies of animal brain. Particular challenges occur for in vivo conditions as well as at high magnetic fields. Here, we have employed a diffusion-weighted (DW) single-shot STEAM MRI sequence for DTI of mouse brain in...
