Four dimensional spectral-spatial fat saturation pulse design.
PURPOSE The conventional spectrally selective fat saturation pulse may perform poorly with inhomogeneous amplitude of static (polarizing) field (B0 ) and/or amplitude of (excitation) radiofrequency field (B1 ) fields. We propose a four dimensional spectral-spatial fat saturation pulse that is more robust to B0/B1 inhomogeneity and also shorter than the conventional fat saturation pulse. THEOR...
متن کاملFat-Water Imaging
Reliable and uniform fat-suppression is essential for accurate diagnoses in many areas of MR imaging. The purpose of this talk is to provide an overview of water-fat imaging in clinical practice. A review of the relevant physics of chemical shift between water and fat, and how this can be exploited to improve image quality through fat suppression and tissue characterization will be explored. Wa...
متن کاملPulmonary Scintiscan Findings in Sulfur Mustard Injured Patients Suspected for Gastroesophageal Reflux; a Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study
Background:Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) prevalence in patients with sulfur mustard (SM)-induced bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is higher than exposed cases with mild lung injuries. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of microaspirations using nuclear scintiscan among BO patients with SM exposure. Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study conducted on patient...
متن کاملTime-Efficient Slab Selective Water Excitation
Introduction Spectral spatial (SPSP) RF pulses are simultaneously selective in both the spectral and spatial domains [1]. SPSP pulses consist of a train of slice selective RF subpulses applied simultaneously with an oscillating slice select gradient. When used for spatially selective water or fat excitation, the difference in frequency between water and fat, ∆ , limits the spacing between RF su...
متن کاملHigh-flip-angle slice-selective parallel RF transmission with 8 channels at 7 T.
At high magnetic field, B(1)(+) non-uniformity causes undesired inhomogeneity in SNR and image contrast. Parallel RF transmission using tailored 3D k-space trajectory design has been shown to correct for this problem and produce highly uniform in-plane magnetization with good slice selection profile within a relatively short excitation duration. However, at large flip angles the excitation k-sp...
