Multishot for High Spatial Resolution
نویسنده
چکیده
Conventional Cartesian non-diffusion pulse sequences acquire k-space in multiple excitations (a.k.a. shots). As the phase errors originating from motion during the diffusion preparation time are random in nature and large compared to the phase used to spatially encode the image, the use of multi-shot sequences with diffusion gradients is not straightforward, and in most cases severe image ghosting will result.

High-Resolution Functional MRI at 3 T: 3D/2D Echo-Planar Imaging with Optimized Physiological Noise Correction
High-resolution functional MRI (fMRI) offers unique possibilities for studying human functional neuroanatomy. Although high-resolution fMRI has proven its potential at 7 T, most fMRI studies are still performed at rather low spatial resolution at 3 T. We optimized and compared single-shot two-dimensional echo-planar imaging (EPI) and multishot three-dimensional EPI high-resolution fMRI protocol...
متن کاملMultishot versus Single-Shot Pulse Sequences in Very High Field fMRI: A Comparison Using Retinotopic Mapping
High-resolution functional MRI is a leading application for very high field (7 Tesla) human MR imaging. Though higher field strengths promise improvements in signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) and BOLD contrast relative to fMRI at 3 Tesla, these benefits may be partially offset by accompanying increases in geometric distortion and other off-resonance effects. Such effects may be especially pronounced...

PURPOSE To accelerate the acquisition of simultaneously high spatial and angular resolution diffusion imaging. METHODS Accelerated imaging is achieved by recovering the diffusion signal at all voxels simultaneously from under-sampled k-q space data using a compressed sensing algorithm. The diffusion signal at each voxel is modeled as a sparse complex Gaussian mixture model. The joint recovery...

The desire to understand complex mental processes using functional MRI drives development of imaging techniques that scan the whole human brain at a high spatial and temporal resolution. In this work, an accelerated multishot three-dimensional echo-planar imaging sequence is proposed to increase the temporal resolution of these studies. A combination of two modern acceleration techniques, UNFOL...
متن کاملInverse reconstruction method for segmented multishot diffusion-weighted MRI with multiple coils.
Each k-space segment in multishot diffusion-weighted MRI is affected by a different spatially varying phase which is caused by unavoidable motions and amplified by the diffusion-encoding gradients. A proper image reconstruction therefore requires phase maps for each segment. Such maps are commonly derived from two-dimensional navigators at relatively low resolution but do not offer robust solut...
متن کاملMultishot EPI-SSFP in the heart.
Refocused steady-state free precession (SSFP), or fast imaging with steady precession (FISP or TrueFISP), has recently proven valuable for cardiac imaging because of its high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and excellent blood-myocardium contrast. In this study, various implementations of multiecho SSFP or EPI-SSFP for imaging in the heart are presented. EPI-SSFP has higher scan-time efficiency tha...
