Simultaneous Image Refocusing (SIR): a New Approach to Multi-slice MRI
Introduction The new multi-slice imaging technique described herein, makes multiple images in a single echo train sequence. Simultaneous image refocusing (SIR) technique differs from conventional multi-slice in the timing of processes of excitation (Ex) and refocusing (R) of signals from different slices (s). Conventional multi-slice: [Ex of sl, R ofsl,Exofs2,Rofs2], SIR:[Exofsl,Exofs2,Rof sl a...
متن کامل"Spin-echo Like T1 Contrast" Volumetric Black-Blood Images Using 3D LOWRAT: Low Refocusing Flip Angle TSE
Introduction: T1 contrast is typically acquired using multi-slice two-dimensional spin-echo (2D SE), inversion recovery fast spin echo (T1 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery : T1FLAIR) or 3D T1-weighted spoiled gradient-echo (3D T1TFE) imaging [1]. However, these conventional methods have problems when used for contrast enhancement studies. 2D-SE requires long scan time for 3-plane diagnosis, ...
متن کاملSimultaneous spin-echo refocusing.
A new approach to spin-echo imaging is presented in which the 180 degrees RF pulse refocuses two or more spin-echoes at different positions in the readout period. When simultaneous echo refocusing (SER) is implemented using multiple 180 degrees pulses, an undesirable mixing of stimulated echoes and primary echoes from different slices can occur. A novel periodic gradient spoiler scheme eliminat...
متن کاملMultiplex RARE Dixon: a novel multislice RARE sequence applied to simultaneous slice fat-water Dixon imaging
Introduction Multislice excitation methods have been widely used to increase efficiency in volume coverage. In the simultaneous spin-echo refocusing sequence (SER) [1], two or more slices are excited simultaneously and refocused with a train of 180° pulses which act simultaneously on both slices. However, the SER sequence does not fulfil CPMG conditions, and requires special spoiler gradients t...
متن کاملRARE/turbo spin echo imaging with Simultaneous Multislice Wave-CAIPI.
PURPOSE To enable highly accelerated RARE/Turbo Spin Echo (TSE) imaging using Simultaneous MultiSlice (SMS) Wave-CAIPI acquisition with reduced g-factor penalty. METHODS SMS Wave-CAIPI incurs slice shifts across simultaneously excited slices while playing sinusoidal gradient waveforms during the readout of each encoding line. This results in an efficient k-space coverage that spreads aliasing...
