Myocardial diffusion tensor imaging using diffusion-prepared SSFP
Background Diffusion tensor imaging of the myocardium is challenging due to the large bulk motion of the heart relative to the distance water diffuses. One solution is to use diffusion gradients on two consecutive heartbeats, with EPI to readout the stimulated echo [1]. The technique has not been widely adopted, primarily due to the long imaging times required to overcome the low SNR of the tec...
متن کاملSSFP Diffusion prepared SSFSE
Introduction The bright signal of fluid and blood can affect tumor detection in screening applications. Diffusion weighted EPI is now frequently employed to attenuate these signals and highlight tumors. Gradient pulses can also be added to unbalanced SSFP sequences to attenuate the signals with motion. It has been demonstrated that SSFP sequence is strongly sensitive to self-diffusion or other ...
متن کاملMyocardial fiber orientation mapping using reduced encoding diffusion tensor imaging.
A precise knowledge of the myocardial fiber architecture is essential to accurately understand and interpret cardiac electrical and mechanical functions. Diffusion tensor imaging has been used to noninvasively and quantitatively characterize myocardial fiber orientations. However, because the approach necessitates diffusion to be measured in multiple encoding directions and frequently at multip...
متن کاملDiffusion-Weighted Imaging and Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Assessment of the integrity of the articular cartilage is considered key for the early diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA). Diffusion-weighted imaging and diffusion tensor imaging have potential as biomarkers for cartilage composition and structure. The value of diffusion to detect compositional and structural changes in the cartilage matrix has been shown in ex vivo experiments for several years....
متن کاملPropagation Framework for Diffusion Tensor Imaging via Diffusion Tensor Error Propagation Framework for Diffusion Tensor Imaging via Diffusion Tensor Representations
This preprint is made available because the published work cited below had several infelicities due to production error, i.e., awkward layout of equations and font styles. The conversion from the Words document here to IEEE TMI format was a mess. Abstract An analytical framework of error propagation for diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is presented. Using this framework, any uncertainty of intere...
