Image combination for high-field phased-array MRI
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider signal processing methods for phased-array magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A theoretical description of a phasedarray MRI data model is presented and three image reconstruction algorithms are proposed to estimate the effective image pixels. An analysis is provided to show how the new algorithms compare to conventional reconstruction methods.

Asymptotic SNR-performance of some image combination techniques for phased-array MRI
Phased-array MRI technology is currently flourishing with the promise of obtaining a profitable trade-off between image quality and image acquisition speed. The image quality is generally measured in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which is often calculated using samples taken from the reconstructed image. In this paper, we derive analytical expressions for the asymptotic SNR in the f...

Introduction: After their introduction by Roemer et al [1], phased array coils have become standard in clinical MR imaging. The development of array coils for small animal MRI is of increasing interest. Field strengths of 4.7T and higher are especially suited for small animal work because of the high SNR offered at these field strengths. Isolation preamplifiers are expensive and not ubiquitous ...
متن کاملPhased array antenna using MEMS phase shifter
This article presents a phased array antenna employing MEMS phase shifter. The proposed phased array antenna consists of eight square patch antennas operating at 10.4 GHz with a bandwidth of 400 MHz. Feed line for each patch passes through a MEMS phase shifter realized by a series of bridges above the transmission line. The distance between the bridge and the transmission line underneath it is ...

One of the novel ultrasonic phased array based scanning methods for ultrasonic imaging in non-destructive test is total focusing method (TFM). This method employs maximum available information of the phased array elements and leads to an improved defect detection accuracy compared to conventional scanning methods. Despite its high detection accuracy, TFM behaves weak in distinguishing the real ...

Introduction Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has become a very important technique for the diagnosis of breast diseases. A dedicated radio frequency (RF) coil, capable of inducing a homogeneous magnetic field within a defined region of interest as well as receiving MRI signals with a high signal to noise ratio (SNR), is essential for high spatial resolution breast imaging. Close-fitting phased...
