1 Spiral in / out Pulse Sequence / Recon for Fmri
نویسنده
چکیده
The k-space trajectory can be chosen as spiral-out, spiral-in, or spiral in-out (both), controlled by a user CV. In the later case, two separate sets of images are obtained having a common TE (defined as the center of k-space), and they may be combined after reconstruction as desired. See ref. 5 for discussion of the philosophy of the spiral-in approach, as well as methods of combining the two sets of images.

Interleaved Spiral In/Out b-SSFP Acquisition for Functional Imaging
INTRODUCTION Balanced-steady-state free precession (b-SSFP) sequences provide an advantageous approach for functional imaging. Passband bSSFP (pbSSFP) fMRI utilizes rapid RF excitations that reduce susceptibility artifacts such as image distortion and signal dropout frequently encountered in conventional gradient echo images [1]. To reduce the sensitivity of pbSSFP fMRI to physiological noise c...
متن کاملComparison of spiral-in/out and spiral-out BOLD fMRI at 1.5 and 3 T.
Spiral-in/out functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) methods acquire one image before the echo time (TE) and a second image after TE during each scan. Weighted combination of the two images provides a time series with reduced susceptibility dropout in frontal and medial temporal regions as well as increased signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in regions of uniform cortex. In this study, task acti...
متن کاملDynamic field map estimation using a spiral-in/spiral-out acquisition.
The long readout times of single-shot acquisitions and the high field strengths desired for functional MRI (fMRI) using blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast make functional scans sensitive to magnetic field inhomogeneity. If it is not corrected during image reconstruction, field inhomogeneity can cause geometric distortions in the images when Cartesian k-space trajectories are used...
متن کاملIncreased temporal resolution in fMRI using Hadamard-encoding with phase correction and physiological noise removal
INTRODUCTION: Hadamard-encoded (H-encoded) fMRI [1] is a multi-slice acquisition method that uses an RF pulse to encode a slab of subslices [2]. Individual subslices can be extracted or decoded using a temporal filter during post-processing. Because H-encoding acquires multiple subslices with each excitation, it can excite the same object volume in a shorter amount of time compared to conventio...
متن کاملInvestigation of BOLD using CARR-PURCELL T2 Weighting with SPIRAL Readout
It is demonstrated that a Carr-Purcell (CP) technique based on the fully adiabatic pulse sequence (CP-LASER) with SPIRAL readout can be used to generate zoomed images with relatively short acquisition window (at) for the investigation of the mechanisms of the BOLD effect. Based on the capability of the developed technique to refocus the dynamic dephasing, it is demonstrated that the BOLD effect...
