Maxwell's Equation Tailored Reverse Method of Obtaining Coil Sensitivity for Parallel MRI
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction: A new method is proposed to obtain noise-free RF coil sensitivity maps. This is highly desirable, considering the fact that the sensitivity encoding (SENSE)[1] method imposes ultimate dependence of successful full FOV image reconstruction on the correct sensitivity map of each individual coil. The proposed method differs from traditional methods in that, instead of refining the measured sensitivity maps by means of numerical approximation and/or extrapolation, it is based on physics of electromagnetics, parameterization and optimization algorithms.

Assessment of the Characteristics of MRI Coils in Terms of RF Non-Homogeneity Using Routine Spin Echo Sequences
Introduction: One of the major causes of image non-uniformity in MRI is due to the existence of non-homogeneity in RF receive and transmit. This can be the most effective source of error in quantitative studies in MRI imaging. Part of this non-homogeneity demonstrates the characteristics of RF coil and part of it is due to the interaction of RF field with the material being imaged...
متن کاملCardiac cine with ART for radial parallel imaging reconstruction
Background It was noted early-on that non-Cartesian parallel imaging is achievable by solving the k-space data consistency equation, with inclusion of coil sensitivity profiles [1]. This iterative method which uses gridding is successful [2,3], as is radial GRAPPA [4]. Here we present the first results of algebraic reconstruction technique (ART) [5,6] which also enforces data consistency. The u...
متن کامل3-D RF Coil Design Considerations for MRI
High-frequency coils are widely used in medical applications, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. A typical medical MRI includes a local radio frequency transmit/receive coil. This coil is designed for maximum energy transfer or wave transfer through magnetic resonance. Mutual inductance is a dynamic parameter that determines the energy quantity to be transferred wirelessly by ele...
متن کاملA wavelet-based approximation of surface coil sensitivity profiles for correction of image intensity inhomogeneity and parallel imaging reconstruction.
We evaluate a wavelet-based algorithm to estimate the coil sensitivity modulation from surface coils. This information is used to improve the image homogeneity of magnetic resonance imaging when a surface coil is used for reception, and to increase image encoding speed by reconstructing images from under-sampled (aliased) acquisitions using parallel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for ...
متن کاملA Green's function approach to local rf heating in interventional MRI.
Current safety regulations for local radiofrequency (rf) heating, developed for externally positioned rf coils, may not be suitable for internal rf coils that are being increasingly used in interventional MRI. This work presents a two-step model for rf heating in an interventional MRI setting: (1) the spatial distribution of power in the sample from the rf pulse (Maxwell's equations); and (2) t...
