Comparison of Single-Shot Echo-Planar and Line Scan Protocols for Diffusion Tensor Imaging1
Rationale and Objectives. Both single-shot diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging (EPI) and line scan diffusion imaging (LSDI) can be used to obtain magnetic resonance diffusion tensor data and to calculate directionally invariant diffusion anisotropy indices, ie, indirect measures of the organization and coherence of white matter fibers in the brain. To date, there has been no comparison of EP...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted single-shot line scan imaging of the human brain.
Single-shot line scan imaging (LSI) was adapted to diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI by replacing the initial 90 degrees radiofrequency pulse of the underlying high-speed stimulated echo sequence by a DW spin-echo preparation period. Implementation on a 2. 0 T whole-body MRI system yielded DW images of the human brain with b factors of 750 s mm(-2) and total imaging times of about 500 ms either for a...
متن کاملSlab scan diffusion imaging.
For maximum robustness of a diffusion-weighted MR imaging sequence, it is desirable to use a single-shot imaging method. This article introduces a new single-shot imaging approach that combines the advantages of multiple spin-echoes with the technique of line scan diffusion imaging. A slab volume, which can be spatially encoded with fewer phase encodes than a regular field of view, is selected ...
متن کاملMulti-Echo-Based Echo-Planar Spectroscopic Imaging Using a 3T MRI Scanner
The use of spin-echoes has been employed in an Echo-Planar Spectroscopic Imaging (EPSI) sequence to collect multiple phase encoded lines within a single TR in a Multi-Echo-based Echo-Planar Spectroscopic Imaging technique (MEEPSI). Despite the T₂ dependence on the amplitude of the spin-echoes, the Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of the derived multi-echo Point Spread Function (PSF) is shown t...
متن کاملUltrafast in vivo diffusion imaging of stroke at 21.1 T by spatiotemporal encoding.
PURPOSE This study quantifies in vivo ischemic stroke brain injuries in rats using ultrahigh-field single-scan MRI methods to assess variations in apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs). METHODS Magnitude and diffusion-weighted spatiotemporally encoded imaging sequences were implemented on a 21.1 T imaging system, and compared with spin-echo and echo-planar imaging diffusion-weighted imaging ...
