OBJECTIVES: To demonstrate the image quality that can be obtained for multiple contrasts using ultra-high resolution MRI (highest nominal resolution: 350 mum isotropic) at 7T using appropriate motion-correction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An MRI-based fat-exci ...
PurposePatLoc (Parallel Imaging Technique using Localized Gradients) accelerates imaging and introduces a resolution variation across the field-of-view. Higher-dimensional encoding employs more spatial encoding magnetic fields (SEMs) than the corresponding ...
PURPOSE: Most existing methods for accelerated parallel imaging in MRI require additional data, which are used to derive information about the sensitivity profile of each radiofrequency (RF) channel. In this work, a method is presented to avoid the acquisi ...
PurposeIn this work, the limits of image reconstruction in k-space are explored when non-bijective gradient fields are used for spatial encoding. TheoryThe image space analogy between parallel imaging and imaging with non-bijective encoding fields is parti ...
Purpose At 7 Tesla (T), conventional static field (B0) projection mapping techniques, e.g., FASTMAP, FASTESTMAP, lead to elevated specific absorption rates (SAR), requiring longer total acquisition times (TA). In this work, the series of adiabatic pulses n ...
Purpose: Currently, the time required for image reconstruction is prohibitively long if data are acquired using multidimensional imaging trajectories that make use of multichannel systems equipped with nonlinear gradients. Methods are presented that reduce ...
A cylindrical head gradient insert for human imaging with non-linear spatial encoding magnetic fields (SEMs) has been designed, optimized and successfully integrated with a modified 3T clinical MR system. This PatLoc (parallel acquisition technique using l ...
Efficient GRAPPA or SENSE reconstruction is largely dependent on coil geometry in the direction in which phase encoding steps reduction is performed during partially parallel acquisition. In this study we demonstrate the ability to perform a 2D CAIPIRINHA ...
This work seeks to examine practical aspects of in vivo imaging when spatial encoding is performed with three or more encoding channels for a 2D image. The recently developed 4-Dimensional Radial In/Out (4D-RIO) trajectory is compared in simulations to an ...
In this paper we present a monoplanar gradient system capable of imaging a volume comparable with that covered by linear gradient systems. Such a system has been designed and implemented. ...
