Functional MRI with variable echo time acquisition.
A new functional MRI protocol that integrates variable echo time (TE) acquisition and a block-design paradigm is proposed and evaluated with finger-tapping motor task. Simulations and experimental data show that the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) sensitivity achieved with this approach is comparable to that achieved using a conventional constant-TE protocol. The proposed variable-TE f...
متن کاملPreliminary use of a double-echo pulse sequence with 3D ultrashort echo time in the MRI of bones and joints
The aim of the present study was to investigate the application of a double-echo pulse sequence with 3D ultrashort echo time (UTE) in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of bones and joints. In total, 7 healthy volunteers and 1 volunteer with a suspected tear of the lateral meniscus of the left knee joint underwent MRI with a double-echo pulse sequence and 3D UTE. The imaging was performed on ...
متن کاملOptimized 3D ultrashort echo time pulmonary MRI.
PURPOSE To optimize 3D radial ultrashort echo time MRI for high resolution whole-lung imaging. METHODS 3D radial ultrashort echo time was implemented on a 3T scanner to investigate the effects of: (1) limited field-of-view excitation, (2) variable density readouts, and (3) radial oversampling. Improvements in noise performance and spatial resolution were assessed through simulation and phanto...
متن کاملDual Double-gradient-echo MRI for Liver Fat Content Analysis
We have devised a modified Dixon method for analyzing fatty infiltration of the liver using a dual doublegradient-echo (DDGRE) sequence. To correct the T2* decay, fourfold echo images were obtained by out-of-phase (TE = 2.3/6.9 ms) and in-phase (4.6/9.2 ms) double-echo sets during a single breath-hold scan on a 1.5 T MRI. The liver fat fractions obtained using the DDGRE method were determined i...
متن کاملSWI-based method for emphasizing susceptivity changes on liver T2* multi-echo gradient-echo MRI
Introduction It is well known that the susceptibility difference between tissues, such as venous blood and surrounding tissue, causes a different bulk magnetization that can be observed both in magnitude and phase images: as a signal amplitude loss due to a reduced T2*, and as a local frequency variation of the protons inside the vessel that results in a phase angle Φ of the venous blood signal...
