T2 accuracy on a whole-body imager.
MR oximetry requires a T2 measurement that is accurate within 5% in vivo. Simple methods are susceptible to signal loss and tend to underestimate T2. Current methods utilize RF pulses or RF cycling patterns that prevent signal loss at each data acquisition. However, using these methods with imperfect pulses, T2 tends to be overestimated due to temporary storage of the magnetization along the lo...
متن کاملMouse Imaging with Whole-Body MRI Scanners
Magnetic Resonance Imaging has been used in clinical applications for several decades. It offers a physician excellent anatomic detail and tissue characterization. Within the past decade, advances in MRI allowed us to image with a sub-millimetre in-plane resolution. Achieving such reduction in voxel volume require novel technological developments in every aspect of the MRI acquisition process: ...
متن کاملPerformance characteristics of a whole-body PET scanner.
METHODS This study characterizes the performance of a newly developed whole-body PET scanner (Advance, General Electric Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI). The scanner consists of 12,096 bismuth germinate crystals (4.0 mm transaxial by 8.1 mm axial by 30 mm radial) in 18 rings, giving 35 two-dimensional image planes through an axial field of view of 15.2 cm. The rings are separated by retractable ...
متن کاملHighly Resolved MR Imaging of Arbitrary Subregions in Large Objects by a Whole-Body Imager
Highly resolved images of defined regions of interest within extended objects were obtaind with a 1.5 T whole-bode imager and standard hardware. The high-resolution spin echo imaging sequence avoids aliasing and allows pixel resolutions down to 39 pm which are confirmed by phantom measurements. The application of the sequence to large biological objects such as, for example, an amaryllis bulb r...
متن کاملProjection based whole body motion planning for legged robots
In this paper we present a new approach for dynamic motion planning for legged robots. We formulate a trajectory optimization problem based on a compact form of the robot dynamics. Such a form is obtained by projecting the rigid body dynamics onto the null space of the Constraint Jacobian. As consequence of the projection, contact forces are removed from the model but their effects are still ta...
