Influence of the FID and off-resonance effects in dense MRI.

چکیده
Accurate functional measurement in cardiovascular diseases is important as inaccuracy may compromise diagnostic decisions. Cardiac function can be assessed using displacement encoding with stimulated echoes, resulting in three signal components. The free induction decay (FID), arising from spins undergoing T(1) -relaxation, is not displacement encoded and impairs the displacement acquired. Techniques for suppressing the FID exist; however, a residual will remain. The effect of the residual is difficult to distinguish and investigate in vitro and in vivo. In this work, the influence of the FID as well as of off-resonance effects is evaluated by altering the phase of the FID in relation to the stimulated echo. The results show that the FID and off-resonance effects can impair the accuracy of the displacement measurement acquired. The influence of the FID can be avoided by using an encoded reference. We therefore recommend the assessment of this influence of the FID for each displacement encoding with stimulated echoes protocol.

متن کاملNew Pseudo-CT Generation Approach from Magnetic Resonance Imaging using a Local Texture Descriptor
Background: One of the challenges of PET/MRI combined systems is to derive an attenuation map to correct the PET image. For that, the pseudo-CT image could be used to correct the attenuation. Until now, most existing scientific researches construct this pseudo-CT image using the registration techniques. However, these techniques suffer from the local minima of the non-rigid deformation energy f...
