Fast dynamic fat-water separation using shorter spatial-spectral excitation and novel temporal acquisition
Introduction: Many dynamic applications can benefit from reliable fat-water separation. Examples include temperature monitoring for ablation therapy (where fat signals can corrupt temperature measurements) and cardiac imaging (where fat infiltrations can indicate disease). Spectral-spatial pulses (SPSP) [1] are a common way of exciting only the water or fat content of an imaged slice or volume....
متن کاملFast temperature measurement using a 2DRF pulse enables both reduced-FOV imaging and fat suppression
Fig.4: Temperature changes of a cheese phantom at the hottest voxel during FUS heating experiments. While measurements using GE fast gradient-echo sequence are echo time-dependent (a), the measurements using 2DRF pulse for fat suppression are very similar (b). With excitation pattern of Fig.2d, both fat suppression and 2D excitation were achieved, resulting in improvement in temporal resolution...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional spatially-selective RF excitation pulses in echo-planar imaging.
Two-dimensional spatially-selective RF (2DRF) excitation pulses were developed for single-shot echo-planar imaging (EPI) with reduced field of view (FOV) in the phase-encoding direction. The decreased number of k-space lines significantly shortens the length of the EPI echo train. Thus, both gradient-echo and spin-echo 2DRF-EPI images of the human brain at 2.0 T exhibit markedly reduced suscept...
متن کاملRapid fat suppression in MRI of the breast with short binomial pulses.
PURPOSE To develop a faster method of fat suppression for use in dynamic contrast enhanced MRI of the breast. MATERIALS AND METHODS A method of fast fat suppression is presented using spatially nonselective rapid binomial pulses. In contrast to conventional binomial frequency-selective pulses, these short pulses are applied without interpulse delay, allowing for very rapid spectrally selectiv...
متن کاملGradient-echo line scan imaging using 2D-selective RF excitation.
A gradient-echo line scan imaging technique was developed which employs two-dimensional spatially selective radiofrequency (2DRF) pulses for consecutively exciting individual columns of transverse magnetization, i.e., image lines. Although a variety of trajectories are possible for 2DRF excitation, the current implementation involved a blipped-planar trajectory in conjunction with additional sa...
