Quantitative magnetic susceptibility mapping without phase unwrapping using WASSR

Diagnosis of patients with Parkinson's disease using quantitative susceptibility mapping

Introduction: Parkinson'sdisease isassociated withirondeposition in the brain. The T2-weighted imaging, T2* mapping, R2 mapping and Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) are three common methods to evaluating the iron deposition in brain. Among three methods the QSM is more sensitive than others. Few studies have been used QSM for evaluating the iron deposition in the basa...

Quantitative Phase Imaging using Multi-wavelength Optical Phase Unwrapping

Unwrapping highly wrapped phase using Nonlinear Multi Echo phase unwrapping

The unwrapping problem has been a major topic of research for over a decade. A variety of algorithms were suggested, but a correct solution is by no means guaranteed. In addition, many of these techniques are timeconsuming issues. In this work, we propose a simple and fast method, which combines conventional temporal unwrapping with a nonlinear phase model to unwrap highly wrapped Multi Echo da...

Profilometry without phase unwrapping using multi-frequency and four-step phase-shift sinusoidal fringe projection.

A three-dimensional (3D) profilometry method without phase unwrapping is proposed. The key factors of the proposed profilometry are the use of composite projection of multi-frequency and four-step phase-shift sinusoidal fringes and its geometric analysis, which enable the proposed method to extract the depth information of even largely separated discontinuous objects as well as lumped continuou...

New robust 3-D phase unwrapping algorithms: application to magnetic field mapping and undistorting echoplanar images.

The phase, as well as the magnitude, of MRI images can carry useful information. It may be used to encode flow or temperature, or to map the magnetic field for the undistorting of EPIs and automated shimming. In all cases, we measure the extra spin given to nuclei. Unfortunately, we can only measure the final phase of the spins: the rotation is wrapped into the range [-pi, +pi], and to obtain a...
