T1 Maps From Shifted Echoes and Stimulated Echoes
Theory The proposed sequence is shown in Figure 1. The basic idea is to obtain a spin echo (SE) and a stimulated echo (STE) with different T1 weighting for T1 calculation. In contrast to the FastPACE technique, both echoes were acquired separately. Then, only magnitude images are required which allows for exploiting the Half Fourier technique and using phased array coils. Acquisition of the tru...
متن کاملOptimisation of the combined gradient echo/spin echo (GESE) sequence for the measurement of T2 at 7.0 T
The combined gradient echo/spin echo (GESE) sequence has been used to measure T2 and T2* simultaneously in the brain at 7T in both healthy volunteers and patients . GESE is particularly useful at 7T as it is insensitive to RF pulse errors since errors in either of the pulse flip angles will cause constant attenuation of all the echoes, leading to a simple reduction in SNR, and it has a low SAR....
متن کاملFe- and Ln-DOTAm-F12 Are Effective Paramagnetic Fluorine Contrast Agents for MRI in Water and Blood.
A series of fluorinated macrocyclic complexes, M-DOTAm-F12, where M is LaIII, EuIII, GdIII, TbIII, DyIII, HoIII, ErIII, TmIII, YbIII, and FeII, was synthesized, and their potential as fluorine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents was evaluated. The high water solubility of these complexes and the presence of a single fluorine NMR signal, two necessary parameters for in vivo MRI, are...
متن کاملBenefits of higher magnetic fields for diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) based on single-shot STEAM MRI sequences: In vivo mouse brain studies at 2.35 T and 7 T
Introduction In theory, the NMR signal is expected to scale more than linearly with magnetic field strength [1]. On the other hand, practical MRI applications such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) using echo-planar imaging (EPI) are also affected by a marked reduction of T2 and T2* relaxation times, the latter referring to enhanced magnetic field inhomogeneities with corresponding geometric di...
متن کاملImproved visibility of the subthalamic nucleus on high-resolution stereotactic MR imaging by added susceptibility (T2*) contrast using multiple gradient echoes.
Reliable identification of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a critical step in deep brain stimulation for Parkinson disease but difficult on T1-weighted stereotactic MR imaging. By simultaneous imaging of multiple gradient echoes, susceptibility contrast is added to conventional T1-weighted high-resolution MR image. Thus, the visibility of the STN is enhanced on a second co-localized dataset by...
