Clinical performance of contrast enhanced abdominal pediatric MRI with fast combined parallel imaging compressed sensing reconstruction.
PURPOSE To deploy clinically, a combined parallel imaging compressed sensing method with coil compression that achieves a rapid image reconstruction, and assess its clinical performance in contrast-enhanced abdominal pediatric MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS With Institutional Review Board approval and informed patient consent/assent, 29 consecutive pediatric patients were recruited. Dynamic contr...
متن کاملNon-uniformity of Clinical Head, Head and Neck, and Body Coils in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Introduction Signal intensity uniformity in a magnetic resonance (MR) image indicates how well the MR imaging (MRI) system represents an object. One of the major sources of image non-uniformity in high-field MRI scanners is inhomogeneity of radio-frequency coil. The aim of this study was to investigate non-uniformity in head, head and neck, and body coils and compare the obtained results to det...
متن کاملAutomatic Coil Selection for SENSE Imaging with Large Coil Arrays
Introduction Parallel imaging using coil arrays with large number of receive elements allows improved imaging performance and increased SNR [1, 2]. However, the use of a large number of coil elements can lead to memory storage problems and to increased reconstruction times. Several techniques for data reduction were presented, realized either by linear combination of the original coil data or b...
متن کاملAssessment 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 کاملEstimating Absolute-Phase Maps Using ESPIRiT and Virtual Conjugate Coils
PURPOSE To develop an ESPIRiT-based method to estimate coil sensitivities with image phase as a building block for efficient and robust image reconstruction with phase constraints. THEORY AND METHODS ESPIRiT is a new framework for calibration of the coil sensitivities and reconstruction in parallel magnetic resonance imaging. Applying ESPIRiT to a combined set of physical and virtual conjugat...
