Ultra high spatio-temporal resolution hepatic MRI using a novel 2-point Dixon time resolved 3D SPGR sequence at 3T
Introduction: Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCEMRI) is commonly used in abdominal-pelvic imaging for detection and characterization of primary and metastatic lesions. Current methods have adequate spatial resolution but the temporal resolution is often insufficient for visualization of hypervascular tumors. Optimal timing of the contrast arrival and robust fat suppression are the two critical ...
متن کاملBreast MRI Using a Balanced Steady-State Free Precession Imaging with a Two-Point Dixon Fat-Water Reconstruction Algorithm: Preliminary Experience and Comparison with 2D FSE
INTRODUCTION: Balanced steady-state free precession (b-SSFP) techniques yielding high SNR images in short scan times with T2-like image contrast have several appealing attributes for clinical breast MRI [1]. Clinical T2 imaging in the breast is routinely performed using a fat suppressed 2D Fast Spin Echo (FSE) pulse sequence with high in-plane spatial resolution. The 3-5 mm slice thickness obsc...
متن کاملNon-invasive quantification of liver fat content by different Gradient Echo MRI sequences in patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Introduction: Non-invasive quantification of liver fat by Gradient echo (GRE) Technique is an interesting issue in quantitative MRI. Despite the numerous advantages of this technique, fat measurement maybe biased by confounding and effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the GRE pulse sequences with different and weighting for liver fat quantification in patients with...
متن کامل3D MRI gel dosimetry based on image intensity (A new approach)
Background: Since 1984 MRI gel dosimetry has been introduced as a potential technique for 3D dosimetry. Most of the studies have measured R1 (1/T1) or R2 (1/T2) properties of the gel depending on the gel type. We have studied image intensity change in the Fricke gel by different MRI protocols. Materials and Methods: Gel Dosimeters contain 0.4 mM ferrous sulphate, 1 mM NaCl, 50 mM H2SO4 and 1% b...
متن کاملComparison of Dixon Methods for Fat Suppression in Single Breath-Hold 3D Gradient-Echo Abdominal MRI
Introduction A variety of Dixon methods has been proposed over the last years that permit a robust fat suppression in inhomogeneous magnetic fields [1-3]. Apart from different strategies to separate water and fat signal, the individual methods are mainly characterized by the number of echo times, or points, that they rely on and by the constraints that they impose on these echo times. In this w...
