Gradient-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 کاملSpoiled & Balanced Gradient-Echo Sequences
1 Introduction Rapid imaging sequences are characterized by a fast train of excitation and gradient pulses. Between excitation pulses or within TR, the magnetization is not able to return to its thermal equilibrium. As a consequence, excitation pulses will influence both the remaining transversal and the remaining longitudinal magnetization. The steady-state magnetization of a multi pulse exper...
متن کاملFast Gradient Echo Sequences Including Balanced SSFP
Many common magnetic resonance imaging sequences are classified either as spin echo or gradient echo techniques. Generally, a gradient echo occurs when spins are coherent regardless of their position within the sample. This occurs whenever the net gradient area since a previous echo is zero. In a spin echo, spins are coherent regardless of their resonance frequency [1]. Here we will focus on gr...
متن کاملQuantifying the Arterial Input Function*
t i o Measurement of absolute myocardial blood flow (MBF) and coronary flow reserve (CFR) is of great importance clinically. To make such measurements quantitatively, one must also measure the arterial input function (AIF). Many studies, including the one reported by Vasquez et al. (1) in this issue of iJACC, which focuses on rubidium-82 (Rb), have sought optimal ways to measure the AIF for a v...
متن کاملAnalysis of partial volume effects on arterial input functions using gradient echo: a simulation study.
Absolute blood flow and blood volume measurements using perfusion weighted MRI require an accurately measured arterial input function (AIF). Because of limited spatial resolution of MR images, AIF voxels cannot be placed completely within a feeding artery. We present a two-compartment model of an AIF voxel including the relaxation properties of blood and tissue. Artery orientations parallel and...
