Saturated double-angle method for rapid B1+ mapping.
For in vivo magnetic resonance imaging at high field (> or =3 T) it is essential to consider the homogeneity of the active B(1) field (B(1)+), particularly if surface coils are used for RF transmission. A new method is presented for highly rapid B(1)+ magnitude mapping. It combines the double angle method with a B(1)-insensitive magnetization-reset sequence such that the choice of repetition ti...
متن کاملRapid Radiofrequency Field Mapping In Vivo Using Single-Shot STEAM MRI
Higher field strengths entail less homogeneous RF fields. This may influence quantitative MRI and MRS. A method for rapidly mapping the RF field in the human head with minimal distortion was developed on the basis of a single-shot stimulated echo acquisition mode (STEAM) sequence. The flip angle of the second RF pulse in the STEAM preparation was set to 60 degrees and 100 degrees instead of 90 ...
متن کاملActual flip-angle imaging in the pulsed steady state: a method for rapid three-dimensional mapping of the transmitted radiofrequency field.
A new method has been developed for fast image-based measurements of the transmitted radiofrequency (RF) field. The method employs an actual flip-angle imaging (AFI) pulse sequence that consists of two identical RF pulses followed by two delays of different duration (TR(1) < TR(2)). After each pulse, a gradient-echo (GRE) signal is acquired. It has been shown theoretically and experimentally th...
متن کاملOptimized Sensitivity for 3D Mapping of the B1 Field using a Phase-Based Method
Introduction: The advent of surface array coils specially design for parallel imaging makes it necessary to develop rapid methods for B1 mapping, as the performance of the coil varies a lot within the sensitive volume and with different patient loadings. In this work we follow and modify a strategy previously presented [1, 2] both for proton and He MRI. Furthermore, the recent He price raise an...
متن کاملRapid Mapping of the 3d Urban Environment
The United Kingdom Armed Forces face an increasing requirement to accurately and rapidly map the 3D urban environment in order to support a wide range of activities including active engagement of forces, counter terrorism and peace keeping measures. The challenges faced by the UK Forces have resulted in a diverse range of mapping requirements that may overlap or differ significantly. This in tu...
