Simultaneous Echo Refocused Magnetization Transfer Imaging
Purpose: To increase the efficiency of densely encoded magnetization transfer imaging of the brain, we time-multiplex multiple slices within the same readout using simultaneous echo refocusing FLASH imaging with magnetization transfer (MT) preparation (MT-SER-FLASH). Materials and Methods: Inefficiency in total scan time results from the number of frequency samples needed for sufficient quality...
متن کاملMagnetization preparation during the steady state: fat-saturated 3D TrueFISP.
A novel fat saturation scheme is proposed which combines spectral fat saturation with a steady-state 3D true Fast Imaging with Steady Precesson (TrueFISP) sequence. Fat saturation consisted of a conventional frequency-selective excitation pulse surrounded by spoiler gradients. This saturation block was periodically repeated within a continuously running TrueFISP sequence. Except for the fat sig...
متن کاملStrategies for Improved 3D Small-Tip Fast Recovery (STFR) Imaging
Introduction: Small tip fast recovery (STFR) imaging has been proposed recently as a potential alternative to balanced steady state free precession (bSSFP). STFR relies on a tailored “tip-up” RF pulse (Fig. 1(a)) to achieve comparable signal level and image contrast as bSSFP, but with reduced banding artifacts [1]. 2D STFR imaging can use fast 2D tailored pulses (e.g., spiral) in combination wi...
متن کاملQuantitative magnetization transfer ultrashort echo time imaging of the Achilles tendon.
Ultrashort echo time imaging allows the short T(2) Achilles tendon to be directly visualized with MRI. Radiofrequency saturation 1 kHz or less off-resonance has been used previously to improve image contrast. In this study, magnetization transfer was investigated in the Achilles tendon of eight normal volunteers and one patient with psoriatic arthritis. 2D Ultrashort echo time images were acqui...
متن کاملMagnetization transfer from inhomogeneously broadened lines: A potential marker for myelin.
PURPOSE To characterize a new approach to magnetization transfer (MT) imaging with improved specificity for myelinated tissues relative to conventional MT. METHODS Magnetization transfer preparation sequences were implemented with all radiofrequency power centered on a single frequency and also with power evenly divided between positive and negative frequencies. Dual frequency saturation was ...
