Diffusion-mediated nuclear spin phase decoherence in cylindrically porous materials
In NMR or MRI of complex materials, including biological tissues and porous materials, magnetic susceptibility differences within the material result in local magnetic field inhomogeneities, even if the applied magnetic field is homogeneous. Mobile nuclear spins move though the inhomogeneous field, by translational diffusion and other mechanisms, resulting in decoherence of nuclear spin phase m...
متن کاملA Variational Image-Based Approach to the Correction of Susceptibility Artifacts in the Alignment of Diffusion Weighted and Structural MRI
This paper presents a method for correcting the geometric and greyscale distortions in diffusion-weighted MRI that result from inhomogeneities in the static magnetic field. These inhomogeneities may due to imperfections in the magnet or to spatial variations in the magnetic susceptibility of the object being imaged--so called susceptibility artifacts. Echo-planar imaging (EPI), used in virtuall...
متن کاملBenefits of higher magnetic fields for diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) based on single-shot STEAM MRI sequences: In vivo mouse brain studies at 2.35 T and 7 T
Introduction In theory, the NMR signal is expected to scale more than linearly with magnetic field strength [1]. On the other hand, practical MRI applications such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) using echo-planar imaging (EPI) are also affected by a marked reduction of T2 and T2* relaxation times, the latter referring to enhanced magnetic field inhomogeneities with corresponding geometric di...
متن کاملComparison of EPI Distortion Correction Methods in Diffusion Tensor MRI
Introduction Diffusion weighted images (DWIs) used for Diffusion Tensor (DT) calculation are commonly acquired with Echo-planar imaging (EPI). Unfortunately, EPI is very sensitive to magnetic field (B0 ) inhomogeneities, which result in local geometric distortions in regions close to air-tissue interfaces. These distortions degrade the anatomical accuracy of DT-MRI maps and potentially increase...
متن کاملRelationship between susceptibility induced field inhomogeneities, restricted diffusion, and relaxation in sedimentary rocks.
Low field relaxation and diffusion measurements have become essential tools to study the pore space of sedimentary rocks with important practical applications in the field of well logging and hydrocarbon extractions. Even at Larmor frequencies below 2 MHz, diffusion measurements are often affected noticeably by internal field inhomogeneities. These field inhomogeneities are induced by susceptib...
