Bright-iron imaging applying an off-resonance modulating pre-pulse (OMPP)

چکیده
Introduction In this contribution, a new off-resonance modulating pre-pulse (OMPP) is applied for bright-iron imaging. The p enables the modulation of the longitudinal magnetization according to the local magnetic field distortion. While ma signal from off-resonant spins, it can especially be applied for cancellation of the MR signal from on-resonant spin enabling direct imaging of off-resonant spins. Methods

Off-resonance binomial composite pulses in 2D and 3D fat/water imaging at 0.5 T.
A new method of acquiring two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) fat/water decomposed images on a 0.5 T magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system is described. The method uses a gradient-recalled echo (GRE) sequence incorporating a composite 121 pulse, originally used for magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) experiments, for frequency-selective pre-saturation. By applying the 121 pulse o...

PURPOSE To compare the effectiveness and reproducibility of a new black-blood sequence vs. a conventional bright-blood gradient-echo T2* sequence for myocardial iron overload measurement in thalassemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty thalassemia patients were studied. Black-blood sequence images were acquired in diastole after a double inversion recovery (DIR) preparation pulse. Bright-blood se...
متن کاملAnalytical determination of the chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) contrast in molecular magnetic resonance imaging
Magnetic resonance based on molecular imaging allows tracing contrast agents thereby facilitating early diagnosis of diseases in a non-invasive fashion that enhances the soft tissue with high spatial resolution. Recently, the exchange of protons between the contrast agent and water, known as the chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) effect, has been measured by applying a suitable pulse ...
متن کاملFlow-enhanced off-resonance saturation for remote detection of iron-based contrast agents.
A switchable contrast mechanism, flow enhanced off-resonance saturation, is presented. This technique combines the effects of flow and off-resonance saturation for remote detection of iron oxide contrast agents incorporated into a vessel wall. Initial results from phantom experiments are presented and show the feasibility of this method. A specific saturation contrast could be observed. This co...
