qualitative analysis of petroleum reservoir rocks is still one of the most important topics of core laboratories and directly affects hydrocarbon-in-place, fluid flow, and prediction of field performance. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) as a non-invasive, millimeter resolution technique which only images fluids in porous media fits this purpose perfectly. magnetic resonance is a radio frequenc...

A large number of the presentations at this meeting are about boosting the spatial resolution of MRI. While there are several innovative approaches being pursued, these developments do not promise an image resolution better than of the order of a millimeter when considering MRI of large parts of the human body. This millimeter scale is three orders of magnitude coarser than the fundamental scal...

PURPOSE To enable accelerated isotropic sub-millimeter whole-heart coronary MRI within a 6-min acquisition and to compare this with a current state-of-the-art accelerated imaging technique at acceleration rates beyond what is used clinically. METHODS Coronary MRI still faces major challenges, including lengthy acquisition time, low signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR), and suboptimal spatial resolutio...

Introduction: Nowadays applying computer in image processing is being improved revolutionary for solving medical images deficiencies. Image features that are analysis in image processing show image information. The aim of the present study was to find correlation between CT- scan and MRI images' features. Materials and Methods: After data acquisition, applying...

MRI is one of the most powerful techniques to study the internal structure of the body. MRI image quality is affected by various noises. Noises in MRI are usually thermal and mainly due to the motion of charged particles in the coil. Noise in MRI images also cause a limitation in the study of visual images as well as computer analysis of the images. In this paper, first, it is proved that proba...

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...
