Transmit B1+ field inhomogeneity and T1 estimation errors in breast DCE-MRI at 3 tesla.
PURPOSE To quantify B1+ variation across the breasts and to evaluate the accuracy of precontrast T1 estimation with and without B1+ variation in breast MRI patients at 3 Tesla (T). MATERIALS AND METHODS B1+ and variable flip angle (VFA) T1 mapping were included in our dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) breast imaging protocol to study a total of 25 patients on a 3.0T GE MR 750 system. We compute...

متن کاملFeasibility of a fast method for B1-inhomogeneity correction for FSPGR sequences.
The Fast Spoiled Gradient Echo (FSPGR) sequence is often used in MRI to create T1-weighted images. The signal intensity generated by this sequence depends on the applied flip angle. Knowing the correct flip angle is essential for the determination of T1-maps by means of an FSPGR based Variable Flip Angle (VFA) approach. Also, quantitatively determining the concentration of contrast agent in cas...
متن کاملPelvic B1 mapping at 3T for DCE
Introduction: Ovarian cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer mortality in women. Much work has therefore been done to develop early assessments of tumour response, such as dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) perfusion measurements [1]. In order to better quantify contrast agent concentration, it is common to use T1 maps rather than relative changes in signal intensity from T1-weighted ima...
متن کاملImproved precision in SASHA T1 mapping with a variable flip angle readout
Background The SAturation-recovery single-SHot Acquisition (SASHA) T1 mapping sequence has excellent accuracy independent of T1, T2, heart rate, and flip angle [1], which are known dependencies of the more commonly used MOdified Look-Locker Inversion-recovery (MOLLI) sequence. However, SASHA has a greater T1 variability (poorer precision) compared to MOLLI. A two-parameter fit, with assumed ide...
