Magnetization Transfer Prepared Gradient Echo MRI for CEST Imaging
Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) is an emerging MRI contrast mechanism that is capable of noninvasively imaging dilute CEST agents and local properties such as pH and temperature, augmenting the routine MRI methods. However, the routine CEST MRI includes a long RF saturation pulse followed by fast image readout, which is associated with high specific absorption rate and limited spat...
متن کاملGradient-Echo Pulse Sequences
The basic idea of parallel imaging is to reduce the number of acquisition steps (i.e. phase-encoding steps) by decreasing the sampling density in kspace. Artefacts, in particular aliasing artefacts, that would result from the reduced sampling density are compensated by employing image data from several independent coil elements with different spatial sensitivity profi les for reconstruction. Th...
متن کاملThe added gradient echo pulse sequence technique: application to imaging of fluid in the temporomandibular joint.
PURPOSE To assess the value of an added gradient echo in the same pulse sequence with a T1-weighted spin echo for determining the presence of an abnormal fluid collection in the temporomandibular joint with no additional imaging time. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using a standard T1-weighted sequence used in cine temporomandibular joint imaging, a readout gradient reversal was added and the resultin...
متن کاملGradient echo imaging.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on gradient echoes is used in a wide variety of imaging techniques and clinical applications. Gradient echo sequences form the basis for an essential group of imaging methods that find widespread use in clinical practice, particularly when fast imaging is important, as for example in cardiac MRI or contrast-enhanced MR angiography. However, the term "gradi...
متن کاملRapid gradient-echo imaging.
Gradient-echo sequences are widely used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for numerous applications ranging from angiography to perfusion to functional MRI. Compared with spin-echo techniques, the very short repetition times of gradient-echo methods enable very rapid 2D and 3D imaging, but also lead to complicated "steady states." Signal and contrast behavior can be described graphically and ...
