Improved Spectral Quality Through Enhanced Shimming on a Clinical Platform at 3T and 7T
Introduction Increased spectral resolution and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and additional metabolite information not available at B0 = 1.5T are some of the benefits of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) at higher fields (≥3T) that enhance its attractiveness as an investigational tool for clinical use. However, to obtain high-quality MR spectra, reliable localized shimming is an essential pre...
متن کاملR2* for myocardial iron quantification at 3T CMR using an advanced shimming algorithm
Background Quantification of myocardial iron overload is critical for the management of patients with hemochromatosis. T2* relaxation time or its inverse R2*, are currently the noninvasive gold standard at 1.5T, as they strongly correlate with myocardial iron concentration, and are obtained using a fast single breath-hold ECG-gated multi-echo GRE sequence. However, due to high sensitivity to B0...
متن کاملB0 magnetic field homogeneity and shimming for in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
The homogenization of B0 conditions is necessary for every magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) investigation. Its direct consequence is narrow spectral lines, on which reliable separation and quantification of biochemicals, and thus experimentally obtainable metabolic information, fundamentally relies. Besides spectral linewidth, unwanted B0 inhomogeneity also impairs other aspects of the MRS...
متن کامل3T-MRH1 spectroscopy for quantification of myocardial steatosis: relationship to metabolic profile and global myocardial function
Methods A research protocol was applied on 90 subjects, using a Siemens Verio 70 cm bore 3T-MRI scanner. All subjects were not known to have cardiac disease. MR spectroscopy was performed with water suppressed ECG gated point resolved spectroscopy (PRESS), TR/TE =1R-R/ 30ms. PRESS voxel was located in the septum at isovolumic phase of diastole. Short axis and 4-chamber Steady State Free Precess...
متن کاملReal-time cardiac MRI at 3 tesla.
Real-time cardiac and coronary MRI at 1.5T is relatively "signal starved" and the 3T platform is attractive for its immediate factor of two increase in magnetization. Cardiac imaging at 3T, however, is both subtly and significantly different from imaging at 1.5T because of increased susceptibility artifacts, differences in tissue relaxation, and RF homogeneity issues. New RF excitation and puls...
