RF inhomogeneity compensation in structural brain imaging.
Three-dimensional T(1)-weighted magnetization-prepared rapid gradient-echo (MP-RAGE) sequences with centric phase encoding (PE) in the inner loop provide structural brain images with a high spatial resolution and high tissue contrast. A disadvantage of this sequence type is the susceptibility to inhomogeneities of the radiofrequency (RF) coil, which may result in poor image contrast in some per...
متن کاملRF Inhomogeneity Correction Algorithm in Magnetic Resonance Imaging
MR images usually present grey level inhomogeneities which are a problem of significant importance. Eliminating these inhomogeneities is not an easy problem and has been studied and discussed in several previous publications. Most of those approaches are based on segmentation processes. The algorithm presented in this paper has the advantage that it does not involve any segmentation step. Inste...
متن کاملInherent insensitivity to RF inhomogeneity in FLASH imaging.
Radiofrequency (RF) field inhomogeneity is an unavoidable problem in MRI, and it becomes severe at high magnetic fields due to the dependence of B1 on the sample. It leads to nonuniformities in image intensity and contrast, causing difficulties in quantitative interpretation and image segmentation. In this work, it is observed that with the fast low-angle shot (FLASH) sequence, which is often u...
متن کاملJoint Brain Parametric T1-Map Segmentation and RF Inhomogeneity Calibration
We propose a constrained version of Mumford and Shah's (1989) segmentation model with an information-theoretic point of view in order to devise a systematic procedure to segment brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data for parametric T(1)-Map and T(1)-weighted images, in both 2-D and 3D settings. Incorporation of a tuning weight in particular adds a probabilistic flavor to our segmentation m...
متن کاملRegularized Estimation of Main and RF Field Inhomogeneity and Longitudinal Relaxation Rate in Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Regularized Estimation of Main and RF Field Inhomogeneity and Longitudinal Relaxation Rate in Magnetic Resonance Imaging by Amanda K. Funai Chair: Jeffrey A. Fessler In designing pulses and algorithms for magnetic resonance imaging, several simplifications to the Bloch equation are used. However, as magnetic resonance (MR) imaging requires higher temporal resolution and faster pulses are used, ...
