Noise Considerations in Slice Encoding for Metal Artifact Correction

چکیده
Fig. 2: Illustration of the correction of throughplane distortions. The SEMAC sequence excites multiple slices with no gap in between and resolves the arbitrary distorted excitation slice profiles with the additional z-phase encoding. The correction is done by combining the signals resolved from different slices at each voxel, but many of which only contain background noise.

Compressive Slice Encoding for Metal Artifact Correction
Introduction: Slice encoding for metal artifact correction (SEMAC) [1] completely corrects metal-induced in-plane and through-plane distortions. The SEMAC imaging sequence (Fig. 1) augments a view-angle-tilting (VAT) [2] spin echo sequence with z-phase encoding. While the VATcompensation gradient suppresses the in-plane distortions, the throughplane distortions are corrected by combining multip...
متن کاملMetal Artifact Reduction of Dental Fillings in Head and Neck CT Images
Introduction: The issue of metal artifact and its reduction is as old as the clinical use of computed tomography itself. When metal objects such as dental fillings, hip prostheses or surgical clips are present in the computed tomography (CT) field of view (FOV), make severe artifacts that reduce the image quality and accuracy of CT numbers. They can lead to unreliable ...
متن کاملAccelerated slice encoding for metal artifact correction.
PURPOSE To demonstrate accelerated imaging with both artifact reduction and different contrast mechanisms near metallic implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Slice-encoding for metal artifact correction (SEMAC) is a modified spin echo sequence that uses view-angle tilting and slice-direction phase encoding to correct both in-plane and through-plane artifacts. Standard spin echo trains and short-TI ...
متن کاملSEMAC: Slice Encoding for Metal Artifact Correction in MRI.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) near metallic implants remains an unmet need because of severe artifacts, which mainly stem from large metal-induced field inhomogeneities. This work addresses MRI near metallic implants with an innovative imaging technique called "Slice Encoding for Metal Artifact Correction" (SEMAC). The SEMAC technique corrects metal artifacts via robust encoding of each exci...
متن کاملFat-suppressed MR Imaging of the Spine for Metal Artifact Reduction at 3T: Comparison of STIR and Slice Encoding for Metal Artifact Correction Fat-suppressed T2-weighted Images
PURPOSE To compare short tau inversion recovery (STIR) images with slice encoding for metal artifact correction (SEMAC)-corrected magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of spectral presaturation with inversion recovery (SPIR) or inversion recovery (IR) at 3T in patients with metallic spinal instrumentation. METHODS Following institutional review board's approval, 71 vertebrae with interbody fixatio...
