Improved 3-Tesla cardiac cine imaging using wideband.
Cine balanced steady-state free precession (SSFP) is the most widely used sequence for assessing cardiac ventricular function at 1.5 T because it provides high signal-to-noise ratio efficiency and strong contrast between myocardium and blood. At 3 T, the use of SSFP is limited by susceptibility-induced off-resonance, resulting in either banding artifacts or the need to use a short-sequence puls...
متن کاملMandibular Trabecular Bone Analysis Using Local Binary Pattern for Osteoporosis Diagnosis
Background: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and increased fracture risk. Since Panoramic image is a feasible and relatively routine imaging technique in dentistry; it could provide an opportunistic chance for screening osteoporosis. In this regard, numerous...
متن کاملWideband SSFP: alternating repetition time balanced steady state free precession with increased band spacing.
Balanced steady-state free precession (SSFP) imaging is limited by off-resonance banding artifacts, which occur with periodicity 1/TR in the frequency spectrum. A novel balanced SSFP technique for widening the band spacing in the frequency response is described. This method, called wideband SSFP, utilizes two alternating repetition times with alternating RF phase, and maintains high SNR and T(2...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Cartilage and Whole Organ Knee Joint Assessment: 3D Radial Fat-Suppressed Alternating TR SSFP
INTRODUCTION Effective cartilage imaging and whole organ joint assessment requires both high isotropic resolution and fat suppression or separation. SSFP lends itself to this task as it rapidly creates high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and T2-like contrast with bright fluid signal. However, SSFP also produces bright fat signal which may interfere with visualization of the critical cartilage/bone...
متن کاملRobust and fast SSFP for the evaluation of LV function at 3T
Background 3T MRI is advantageous to CMR as it offers higher SNR and better T1 contrast. Its slow clinical adoption is partly due to the lack of robustness in SSFP cine imaging [1]. Banding artifact in SSFP caused by main field inhomogeneity is common at 3T. Wideband SSFP [2] or prescans (shimming, frequency scout, etc.) are needed to avoid/ reduce the artifact, increasing patient scan time. We...
