Single-Shot 3D Gradient and Stimulated Echo Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Single-shot STEAM MRI [1] is insensitive to off-resonance effects because it is based on RF refocused echoes but suffers from a inherently low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Recently, gradient and stimulated echo (GRASTE) imaging [2] has been shown to ameliorate the limitations of single-shot STEAM by improving the SNR efficiency. Here, an extension of 2D GRASTE is presented that is capable of acquiring a 3D volume within a single acquisition.

Slab 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 کاملComparison the Accuracy of Fetal Brain Extraction from T2-Half-Fourier Acquisition Single-Shot Turbo Spin-Echo (HASTE) MR Image with T2-True Fast Imaging with Steady State Free Precession (TRUFI) MR Image by Level Set Algorithm
Background Access to appropriate images of fetal brain can greatly assist to diagnose of probable abnormalities. The aim of this study was to compare the suitability of T2-True Fast Imaging with Steady State Free Precession (T2-TRUFI), and T2-Half-Fourier Acquisition Single-Shot Turbo Spin-Echo (T2- HASTE( magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to extract the fetal brain using the level set algorithm...
متن کاملDiffusion-tensor MR imaging of the human brain with gradient- and spin-echo readout: technical note.
Diffusion-tensor MR imaging of the brain is an objective method that can measure diffusion of water in tissue noninvasively. Five adult volunteers participated in this study that was performed to evaluate the potential of gradient- and spin-echo readout for diffusion-tensor imaging by comparing it with single-shot spin-echo echo-planar imaging. Gradient- and spin-echo readout provides comparabl...
متن کاملSingle-shot T(2)* mapping with 3D compensation of local susceptibility gradients in multiple regions.
Macroscopic magnetic field inhomogeneities severely limit sensitivity of blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) functional MRI (fMRI) in frontal and central brain regions close to brain stem. A single-shot multiecho echo-planar imaging method (TurboPEPSI) was developed that combines quantitative T(2)* mapping with gradient compensation of local susceptibility inhomogeneities in multiple volum...
متن کاملRapid isotropic diffusion mapping without susceptibility artifacts: whole brain studies using diffusion-weighted single-shot STEAM MR imaging.
A subsecond magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique for isotropic diffusion mapping is described which, in contrast to echo-planar imaging (EPI), is insensitive to resonance offsets, i.e., tissue susceptibility differences, magnetic field inhomogeneities, and chemical shifts. It combines a diffusion-weighted (DW) spin-echo preparation period and a high-speed stimulated echo acquisition mode ...
