چکیده
The quadrupole peaks arising due to immobile proteins in muscle are clearly visible (see arrows). Figure 1: Dispersion curves for a phantom of crosslinked BSA obtained using the FC-FSE sequence (solid dots) show good agreement with results from a commercial relaxometer (open circles).

Rapid field-cycling MRI using fast spin-echo.
PURPOSE Fast field-cycling MRI (FFC-MRI) is a technique that promises to expand upon the diagnostic capabilities of conventional MRI by allowing the main field, B0 , to be varied during a pulse sequence, thus allowing access to new types of endogenous contrast. However, this necessitates longer scan times, which can limit the technique's application to clinical research. In this paper, an adapt...
متن کاملRelaxation in a Natural Soil: Comparison of Relaxometric Imaging, T1 – T2 Correlation and Fast-Field Cycling NMR
Longitudinal and transverse relaxation times are used to characterise the pore system of a natural Kaldenkirchen sandy loam. Here we present new results obtained by relaxometric imaging (MEMS) and two-dimensional T1-T2 correlation relaxometry, and compare these with available T1relaxation time distributions of water obtained by the analysis of fast field cycling relaxometry (FFC) data. The soil...
متن کاملAssessment of the Characteristics of MRI Coils in Terms of RF Non-Homogeneity Using Routine Spin Echo Sequences
Introduction: One of the major causes of image non-uniformity in MRI is due to the existence of non-homogeneity in RF receive and transmit. This can be the most effective source of error in quantitative studies in MRI imaging. Part of this non-homogeneity demonstrates the characteristics of RF coil and part of it is due to the interaction of RF field with the material being imaged...
متن کاملComparison the Accuracy of Fetal Brain Extraction from T2-Half-Fourier Acquisition Single-Shot Turbo Spin-Echo (HASTE) MR Image with T2-True Fast Imaging with Steady State Free Precession (TRUFI) MR Image by Level Set Algorithm
Background Access to appropriate images of fetal brain can greatly assist to diagnose of probable abnormalities. The aim of this study was to compare the suitability of T2-True Fast Imaging with Steady State Free Precession (T2-TRUFI), and T2-Half-Fourier Acquisition Single-Shot Turbo Spin-Echo (T2- HASTE( magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to extract the fetal brain using the level set algorithm...
متن کاملReliable Cortical Thickness Estimation with Reduction of Susceptibility-Induced Signal Loss using Optimized T1-Weighted Single-Slab 3D Turbo Spin Echo Pulse Sequence
Introduction: In brain volumetry, magnetization-prepared rapid gradient recalled echo (MP-RAGE) imaging [1], which yields a strong T1-weighted contrast among brain tissues and thus a highly accurate segmentation of the brain structures, has been widely used. However, since signals in MPRAGE result from free induction decay (FID) without radio-frequency (RF) pulse induced refocusing, conventiona...
