15 mm PEPSI slice) and metabolic images of mI, Cho, Cr+PCr, Glu+Gln, NAA+NAAG and macromolecules at 0.9 ppm (MM09) measured with 0.25 cc spatial resolution, (left) before and (right) after partial volume and relaxation correction. Cho, Cr+PCr and Glu+Gln maps show strong GM/WM contrast and considerable anatomical detail, including sulcal structure (see red and yellow arrows). Fig.1:Selected cen...
متن کاملAccelerated Proton Echo-Planar Spectroscopic Imaging Using Parallel Imaging and Compressed Sensing
INTRODUCTION: Proton Echo-Planar Spectroscopic Imaging (PEPSI) provides fast spatial-spectral encoding and has been demonstrated to map a variety of metabolites in the human brain [1,2]. Further acceleration in PEPSI can be accomplished by using parallel imaging along the phaseencoding dimension(s) [3,4]. However, the acceleration is limited by the relatively low SNR of the metabolites and g-fa...
متن کاملAccelerated proton echo planar spectroscopic imaging (PEPSI) using GRAPPA with a 32-channel phased-array coil.
Parallel imaging has been demonstrated to reduce the encoding time of MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI). Here we investigate up to 5-fold acceleration of 2D proton echo planar spectroscopic imaging (PEPSI) at 3T using generalized autocalibrating partial parallel acquisition (GRAPPA) with a 32-channel coil array, 1.5 cm(3) voxel size, TR/TE of 15/2000 ms, and 2.1 Hz spectral resolution. Compared t...
متن کاملFast detection of diffuse axonal damage in severe traumatic brain injury: comparison of gradient-recalled echo and turbo proton echo-planar spectroscopic imaging MRI sequences.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is a common type of primary neuronal injury in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), and is frequently accompanied by tissue tear hemorrhage. T2-weighted gradient-recalled echo (GRE) sequences are more sensitive than T2-weighted spin-echo images for detection of hemorrhage. The purpose of this study is to compare turbo Proton Echo ...
