RF inhomogeneity compensation in structural brain imaging.
Three-dimensional T(1)-weighted magnetization-prepared rapid gradient-echo (MP-RAGE) sequences with centric phase encoding (PE) in the inner loop provide structural brain images with a high spatial resolution and high tissue contrast. A disadvantage of this sequence type is the susceptibility to inhomogeneities of the radiofrequency (RF) coil, which may result in poor image contrast in some per...
متن کاملJoint Brain Parametric T1-Map Segmentation and RF Inhomogeneity Calibration
We propose a constrained version of Mumford and Shah's (1989) segmentation model with an information-theoretic point of view in order to devise a systematic procedure to segment brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data for parametric T(1)-Map and T(1)-weighted images, in both 2-D and 3D settings. Incorporation of a tuning weight in particular adds a probabilistic flavor to our segmentation m...
متن کاملRF Inhomogeneity Correction Algorithm in Magnetic Resonance Imaging
MR images usually present grey level inhomogeneities which are a problem of significant importance. Eliminating these inhomogeneities is not an easy problem and has been studied and discussed in several previous publications. Most of those approaches are based on segmentation processes. The algorithm presented in this paper has the advantage that it does not involve any segmentation step. Inste...
متن کاملInherent insensitivity to RF inhomogeneity in FLASH imaging.
Radiofrequency (RF) field inhomogeneity is an unavoidable problem in MRI, and it becomes severe at high magnetic fields due to the dependence of B1 on the sample. It leads to nonuniformities in image intensity and contrast, causing difficulties in quantitative interpretation and image segmentation. In this work, it is observed that with the fast low-angle shot (FLASH) sequence, which is often u...
متن کاملInfluence of the rf Field Inhomogeneity on Nutation NQR Spectra of Spin 3/2 Nuclei in Powders
The influence of the rf field inhomogeneity on the NQR nutation spectra of spin / = 3/2 nuclei in powder samples is investigated. To eliminate the rf field inhomogeneity effects, a method of reconstruction of the NQR nutation spectra, based on finding the deconvolution of the Fourier nutation spectrum with a function of the rf field distribution, is used. The method is successfully demonstrated...
