Phase sensitive inversion recovery with simultaneous dark fat rendering by virtual chemical inversion

چکیده
Background On delayed-enhancement (DE-CMR), both fat and infarcted myocardium appear bright making them difficult to differentiate. Standard chemical shift fat-suppression (FatSatCS) consists of a fat-frequency selective saturation followed by readout. This approach is suboptimal in clinical DE-CMR sequences which typically have long readout times (100-200ms) and as a result, fat magnetization has significantly recovered (T1 = 290ms, 3T) when the center of k-space is acquired for linear reordering. Centric reordering can overcome this limitation, but at the cost of blurring artifacts. The phase sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) variant of DE-CMR avoids the need to precisely set inversion time through the acquisition of a reference data set interleaved between image acquisitions. We hypothesized that modifying the reference acquisition via a Dixon-type approach could provide PSIR images that simultaneously show dark fat without added acquisition time. The result is a virtual chemically selective inversion (FatSatVCSI), without increased SAR and at no cost to signal-to-noise from pulse imperfections.

متن کاملA Simple Theoretical Model for Prediction of Phase Inversion
Phase inversion in liquid-liquid dispersions corresponds to the transitional boundary between Oil-in-Aqueous dispersion and Aqueous-in-Oil dispersion. A theoretical model based on simple assumptions was proposed to predict phase inversion point, ambivalence region and the hysteresis effect of inversion. Experimental data from the literature were used to validate the model and results were c...

In this paper, we studied effect of different parameters including density, viscosity, interfacial tension and solute transfer concentration on phase inversion hold-up. The results showed that change in phase density ratio had no effect on phase inversion hold-up. It also disclosed that the phase viscosity ratio was the most effective parameter affecting phase inversion hold-up and each phase h...
