Whole Brain Perfusion Using Dynamic pCASL with Multiband Look-locker EPI

چکیده
were reconstructed after 2-fold in-plane parallel imaging. Before and after using MB technique, the slice number was 6 and 18, respectively. Using MB excitation with an MB factor of 3 and blipped-CAIPI, three simultaneous excited slices were folded together with a phase shift. After reconstruction with the 'SliceGRAPPA' algorithm, the three folded slices were successfully separated and unaliased. SB

Tripled Readout Slices in Multi Time-Point pCASL Using Multiband Look-Locker EPI
Multi time-point pseudo-continuous arterial spin labelling (pCASL) with a Look-Locker EPI readout can sample the signal curve of blood kinetics at multiple time points after the labelling pulse. However, due to signal relaxation of labelled blood, the number of readout slices is limited. The aim of this study is to employ a multiband excitation technique to triple the number of readout slices i...
متن کاملFeasibility of Applying Mb Epi Pcasl for High-resolution Whole Brain Perfusion Imaging at 7t
Target audience: Arterial spin labeling researchers, neuroimaging scientists and clinicians Purpose Ultra high fields, (≥7T), should provide significant advantages for high-resolution whole brain perfusion imaging due to greatly increased blood T1 and signal noise ratio (SNR). However, there exist several challenges: B1 and B0 inhomogeneity, high specific absorption rate (SAR) and shortened T2*...
متن کاملReliability of two-dimensional and three-dimensional pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling perfusion MRI in elderly populations: comparison with 15O-water positron emission tomography.
PURPOSE To investigate the reliability and accuracy of two pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) sequences, using two-dimensional (2D) gradient-echo echo planar imaging (EPI) and 3D gradient and spin echo (GRASE) as the readout, respectively. MATERIALS AND METHODS Each sequence was performed twice 4 weeks apart on six normal control subjects, six elderly subjects with mild cognitiv...
متن کاملFast high-resolution T1 mapping using inversion-recovery Look-Locker echo-planar imaging at steady state: optimization for accuracy and reliability.
A fast T(1) measurement sequence using inversion recovery Look-Locker echo-planar imaging at steady state (IR LL-EPI SS) is presented. Delay time for a full magnetization recovery is not required in the sequence, saving acquisition time significantly for high-resolution T(1) mapping. Imaging parameters of the IR LL-EPI SS sequence were optimized to minimize the bias from the excitation pulses i...
متن کاملPre- and Postprandial Arterial and Portal Venous Liver Perfusion Using Selective Spin Labeling Mri with Look-locker Read-out
PURPOSE: Spin labeling (SL) MRI is a non-invasive technique for perfusion evaluation. Drug-related risks, which is a concern in contrast-enhanced MRI, are eliminated by using labeled blood as endogenous contrast. In a few studies SL-MRI of the liver has been explored [1-5]. However, in humans only readouts with a single post labeling delay (PLD) were used, limiting quantification accuracy. The ...
