Velocity Encoding and Flow Imaging
نویسنده
چکیده
MRI techniques provide a non-invasive method for the highly accurate anatomic depiction of the heart and vessels. In addition, the intrinsic sensitivity of MRI to flow, motion and diffusion offers the possibility to acquire spatially registered functional information simultaneously with the morphological data within a single experiment [1-13, 16-19, 31, 36, 38]. Characterizations of the dynamic components of blood flow and cardiovascular function provide insight into normal and pathological physiology and have made considerable progress in recent years [14-15, 24, 26-29, 35, 55].

Simultaneous measurement of water flow velocity with fluorescent and speckle imaging technique
The average velocity of water flow has been simultaneously measured with fluorescent and speckle imaging methods. The measured velocities with two methods are in good agreement with each other and it confirms that the speckle imaging method can be used as a confident method to measure the velocity of water flow in a dry leaf. Also the velocity of water flow through thick and thin xylems of a le...
متن کاملImaging CSF Flow using Spin Echo Phase Contrast Velocity Encoded MRI at 3T
Introduction: Flow sensitive MRI techniques are typically based on gradient echo (GE) imaging. Such techniques are well validated, offer robust image quality, and are relatively insensitive to artefacts related to sources of field inhomogeneities. However, GE offers a relatively low SNR, particularly for imaging cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) which has a long T1 relaxation time and thus low signal a...
متن کاملI-44: Color Doppler Imaging in Impotence
Sexual impotent is very common entity and define as inability to induce or maintaining penile erection during sexual intercourse. Studies reveals about 10% of men aged 40-70 years have complete, 17% have mild and 25% have moderate amount of erectile dysfunction. The sexual impotence has different etiology including psychogenic, neurogenic, arteriogenic and venogenic causes. Current studies reve...
متن کاملSSFP and GRE phase contrast imaging using a three-echo readout.
A technique for rapid in-plane phase-contrast imaging with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is described. Velocity-encoding is achieved by oscillating the readout gradient, such that each 2DFT phase-encode is acquired three times following a single RF slice-selective excitation. Three images are reconstructed, from which both flow velocity and local resonance offset are calculated. This techniq...
متن کاملImproved SNR in phase contrast velocimetry with five-point balanced flow encoding.
Phase contrast velocimetry can be utilized to measure complex flow for both quantitative and qualitative assessment of vascular hemodynamics. However, phase contrast requires that a maximum measurable velocity be set that balances noise and phase aliasing. To efficiently reduce noise in phase contrast images, several investigators have proposed extended velocity encoding schemes that use extra ...
متن کاملVariable-density one-shot Fourier velocity encoding.
In areas of highly pulsatile and turbulent flow, real-time imaging with high temporal, spatial, and velocity resolution is essential. The use of 1D Fourier velocity encoding (FVE) was previously demonstrated for velocity measurement in real time, with fewer effects resulting from off-resonance. The application of variable-density sampling is proposed to improve velocity measurement without a si...
