Magnetic Resonance Tissue Quantification using Optimal bSSFP Pulse-Sequence Design
We propose a merit function for the expected contrast to noise ratio in tissue quantifications, and formulate a nonlinear, nonconvex semidefinite optimization problem to select locally-optimal balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) pulse-sequence design variables. The method could be applied to other pulse sequence types, arbitrary numbers of tissues, and numbers of images. To solve the ...
متن کاملAdvanced Optimization Laboratory Title: Magnetic Resonance Tissue Density Estimation using Optimal SSFP Pulse-Sequence Design
In this paper, we formulate a nonlinear, nonconvex semidefinite optimization problem to select the steady-state free precession (SSFP) pulse-sequence design variables which maximize the contrast to noise ratio in tissue segmentation. The method could be applied to other pulse sequence types, arbitrary numbers of tissues, and numbers of images. To solve the problem we use a mixture of a grid sea...
متن کاملSimulation procedure to determine nuclear magnetic resonance imaging pulse sequence parameters for optimal tissue contrast.
In order to permit a more optimized selection of acquisition parameters for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging a simulation procedure is proposed to determine the pulse sequences for optimal tissue contrast for a variety of clinical indications. In selected patient studies an adequate set of source images is measured, which allows computation of images of all possible pulse sequences, and...
متن کاملSimplifying cardiovascular magnetic resonance pulse sequence terminology
We propose a set of simplified terms to describe applied Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) pulse sequence techniques in clinical reports, scientific articles and societal guidelines or recommendations. Rather than using various technical details in clinical reports, the description of the technical approach should be based on the purpose of the pulse sequence. In scientific papers or othe...
متن کاملFourier decompositions and pulse sequence design algorithms for nuclear magnetic resonance in inhomogeneous fields.
In this paper, we introduce algorithms based on Fourier synthesis for designing phase compensating rf pulse sequences for high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in an inhomogeneous B0 field. We show that using radio frequency pulses and time varying linear gradients in three dimensions, it is possible to impart the transverse magnetization of spins phase, which is a desir...
