متن کاملComparison of Single-Shot Echo-Planar and Line Scan Protocols for Diffusion Tensor Imaging1
Rationale and Objectives. Both single-shot diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging (EPI) and line scan diffusion imaging (LSDI) can be used to obtain magnetic resonance diffusion tensor data and to calculate directionally invariant diffusion anisotropy indices, ie, indirect measures of the organization and coherence of white matter fibers in the brain. To date, there has been no comparison of EP...
متن کاملDiffusion weighted MR nerve sheath imaging (DW-NSI) using diffusion-sensitized driven-equiliblium (DSDE)
INTRODUCTION: The use of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for the evaluation of peripheral nerves was recently introduced by Takahara et al. [1]. Since the signal from the nerves at DWI originates from water within the nerve sheath, this method can be referred to as diffusion-weighted nerve sheath imaging (DW-NSI). There are two major limitations related to echo-planar imaging (EPI)-based DW-NS...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted single-shot line scan imaging of the human brain.
Single-shot line scan imaging (LSI) was adapted to diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI by replacing the initial 90 degrees radiofrequency pulse of the underlying high-speed stimulated echo sequence by a DW spin-echo preparation period. Implementation on a 2. 0 T whole-body MRI system yielded DW images of the human brain with b factors of 750 s mm(-2) and total imaging times of about 500 ms either for a...
