Effect of Phase-Encoding Reduction on Geometric Distortion and BOLD Signal Changes in fMRI
Introduction Echo-planar imaging (EPI) is a group of fast data acquisition methods commonly used in fMRI studies. It acquires multiple image lines in k-space after a single excitation, which leads to a very short scan time. A well-known problem with EPI is that it is more sensitive to distortions due to the used encoding scheme. Source of distortion is inhomogeneity in the static B0 field that ...
متن کاملGroup-encoded Ungated Inversion Nulling for Non-contrast Enhancement in the Steady State (GUINNESS): a balanced SSFP-Dixon technique for breath-held non-contrast MRA
Purpose: While contrast-enhanced MR Angiography (CEMRA) is widely used for evaluation of vascular pathology, recent nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) concerns following administration of Gadolinium based contrast agents have spurred interest in non-contrast MRA methods. Balanced steady state free precession (bSSFP) imaging [1-3] has shown great promise due to its high SNR and short scan times...
متن کاملQuantitative T(1)(ρ) imaging using phase cycling for B0 and B1 field inhomogeneity compensation.
T(1)(ρ) imaging is useful in a number of clinical applications. T(1)(ρ) preparation methods, however, are sensitive to non-uniformities of the B0 magnetic field and the B1 RF field. These common system imperfections can result in image artifacts and quantification errors in T(1)(ρ) imaging. We report on a phase-cycling method which can eliminate B1 RF inhomogeneity effects in T(1)(ρ) imaging. T...
متن کاملImproved Fat Suppression With High Resolution Balanced Steady State Imaging in the Breast
(a) because of the variable level of fat suppression. Both 3DPR-SSFP with WC-SSFP (b) and IDEAL 3DPR-SSFP (c) provide a more consistent level of fat suppression allowing for better delineation of fine fibroglandular structure. IDEAL 3DPR-SSFP (c) also resolves fat-water swap due to B0 inhomogeneity in superior region of the breast. Red arrows: Note tiny gap in fibroglandular tissue in WC SSFP (...
متن کاملUltrafast near-isotropic spatial resolution 3D balanced-SSFP Dixon imaging in the breast
INTRODUCTION: T2 imaging in the breast is most commonly performed using a fat suppressed 2D Fast Spin Echo (FSE) pulse sequence. The in-plane spatial resolution is high (<1mm) but the 3-4 mm slice thickness blurs fine structures and makes multi-planar reformatting sub-optimal. Balanced steady-state free precession (b-SSFP) techniques yield high SNR images in short scan times with a T2-like (T2/...
