A New Short TE 3D Radial Sampling Sequence: SWIFT-LiTE
Introduction: Ultrashort echo-time (UTE) imaging (1) and sweep imaging with Fourier transformation (SWIFT) (2) are techniques for imaging hard tissues with short T2 relaxation times on the order of a few tens to hundreds of microseconds, due to their very short acquisition delays (in the range of 0.01-0.5 ms). Such short T2 components are not easily detected with conventional imaging techniques...
متن کاملBloch Equation Based Algebraic Reconstruction for MRI using Frequency-Modulated Pulses
Introduction Magnetic resonance imaging of ultrashort T2 spins generally requires the use of a short radiofrequency pulse delivered with high peak power. In contrast, frequency-modulated (FM) pulses enable uniform spin excitation with a relatively low peak power, because they deliver a flat excitation profile and energy is distributed in time due to sequential excitation of spins by the frequen...
متن کاملBloch Simulations of UTE, WASPI and SWIFT for Imaging Short T2 Tissues
Introduction: Clinical MR is predominantly geared towards the imaging of “long” T2 species (T2’s greater than 10 ms). However, musculoskeletal (MSK) tissues of interest, such as ligaments (T2 ≈ 4-10 ms), tendons (T2 ≈ 2 ms) and cortical bone (T2 ≈ 0.5ms) often exhibit low signal intensity in images acquired using clinical MR sequences [1]. Three specialized sequences designed to overcome these ...
متن کاملBurst Detector Sensitivity: Past, Present & Future
I compare the burst detection sensitivity of CGRO’s BATSE, Swift’s BAT, the GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM) and EXIST as a function of a burst’s spectrum and duration. A detector’s overall burst sensitivity depends on its energy sensitivity and set of accumulations times ∆t; these two factors shape the detected burst population. For example, relative to BATSE, the BAT’s softer energy band decreases t...
متن کاملHighly accelerated 7 T prostate imaging using parallel imaging
Introduction Due to stronger signal attenuation and high SAR levels, prostate imaging at 7 Tesla is a challenging procedure. Nevertheless, it has been demonstrated with various surface coil array designs [1,2,3]. For this work we used an array of single-side adapted dipole antennas [1]. The elements of this array have been designed according to a radiative design principle maximizing the power ...
