چکیده
sequence with minimized acquisition delays (left). The duration of each gradient is minimized individually. Thus the acquisition delay depends on the k-space position (right). Figure 2: Central slices of a phantom containing 0.9% saline solution measured with the normal 3D-CSI sequence (a), the 3D-TEMin CSI sequence with minimized acquisition delay (b),the 3D-AW-CSI sequence with acquisition weighted data acquisition (c) and a 3D radial projection imaging sequence (d).

DT-MRI Tractography and its Application in Cognitive Neuroscience
Recent advancement of MRI techniques and development of new methods of image analysis have allowed us to study large neural tracts within the human brain. This is based on the principle of diffusion tensor MRI that is similar to that of diffusion-weighted imaging but takes magnitude and direction of the diffusion of water into account. Using this technique we have been able to define large neur...

متن کاملContrast enhancement methods in sodium MR imaging: a new emerging technique
Background: In the last decade, sodium magnetic resonance imaging was investigated for its potential as a functional cardiac imaging tool for ischemia. Later interest was developed in contrast enhancement for intracellular sodium. Little success was reported to suppress extracellular sodium resulting in the intracellular sodium MRI image acquisition using quantum filters or sodium transition st...
متن کاملPseudo-CT Generation from Magnetic Resonance Imaging by fuzzy look up table algorithm
Introduction: Despite growing interest in the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the external radiotherapy design process (RT), Computer Tomography (CT) remains a gold standard and is regarded as a basic imaging modality in radiotherapy. MRI shows the high contrast in soft tissues without any radiation exposure to patients. As a result, MRI is used in functional tissue ...
