RFuGE –an accelerated imaging method combining Parallel Transmit RF encoding plus Gradient Encoding with compressed sensing reconstruction
Introduction: In compressed sensing, a problem with random phase encoding patterns is that the eddy current performance is much worse and can lead to significant artefacts because the resulting k-space distortions may be very different on adjacent k-space samples. This undermines performance in random sampling strategies. We have explored combining regular gradient sampling with randomly select...
متن کاملHighly Distributed RF Transmission with a 32-Channel Parallel Transmit System
Introduction: When RF signal gets transmitted (Tx) / detected (Rx), the B1 / B1 fields interact with the spin system of the imaged object, forming the basis of MR signal induction / detection. The concomitant E field meanwhile gives rise to RF loss in the object and dictates SAR / noise. An MR system implements / optimizes the RF electromagnetic fields for MR via the currents in an RF coil stru...
متن کاملCan RF encoding Improve Parallel Imaging?
Introduction: It is possible to achieve spatial encoding by repeated gradient (Fourier) encoding, using multiple coils (parallel Imaging), or by repeating the acquisition with different RF modulation profiles (RF encoding). Partially Parallel Imaging (PPI) combines Fourier and coil encoding, enabling reconstruction with reduced phase encoding steps but with a signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) penalty...
متن کاملLarge-Signal Characterization of Coupled RF Amplifiers for Parallel Transmit
Target audience: This work is relevant to those interested in parallel transmit amplifiers. Purpose: Previous work has demonstrated the use of high efficiency switch mode power amplifier (SMPA) topologies for miniature on-coil amplifiers aimed at use in parallel transmit coil arrays. Though such amplifiers demonstrate very high efficiency and power density in isolation, there has not yet been a...
متن کاملDesigning RF Refocusing Pulses for Parallel Transmit Spin Echo Sequences
INTRODUCTION Parallel transmission of RF pulses [1, 2] has shown great potential in B1 inhomogeneity correction at high fields [3]. Most of the existing applications of parallel transmission, however, have been restricted to only gradient echo due to lack of systematic design of parallel transmit refocusing pulses. The difficulty of designing such pulses lies in that 1) the large flip angle nat...
