Download or read book Body MR Imaging written by Elmar M. Merkle and published by W B Saunders Company. This book was released on 2007 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is currently unclear whether body MR imaging at 3T is superior compared to standard 1.5T MR imaging. This is an important issue for radiologists because the 3T MR systems are considerably more expensive than the 1.5T MR systems, yet the reimbursement for the studies is identical. This up-to-date new issue, Guest Edited by Elmar Merkle, will help radiologists make an educated decision whether it is currently worth investing in a more expensive 3T MR system, or settling for a proven and less expensive 1.5T MR system. General topics such as MR Physics are discussed, as well as articles on more specific types of MR Imaging, such as Breast, Cardiac, and Liver. This must-read issue will help to guide radiologists through the constantly shifting technological advances in 3t MR Imaging.

Download or read book Parallel Radiofrequency Transmission for 3 Tesla and 7 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging written by Filiz Yetişir and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive imaging technique with high soft tissue contrast. MR scanners are characterized by their main magnetic field strength. Commercially available clinical MR scanners commonly have main field strengths of 1.5 and 3 Tesla. Researchers increasingly explore clinical benefits of higher field strength scanners as they provide higher signal to noise ratio and higher resolution images. On the other hand, higher field strength imaging comes with increased image shading leading to non-uniform image contrast. Moreover, the tissue heating rate due to radiofrequency (RF) energy deposition (also called specific absorption rate or SAR) increases, limiting the imaging speed. Parallel RF transmission (pTx) was proposed to address both of these challenges by optimization of RF pulses transmitted from multiple independent channels simultaneously. However, both the RF pulse design and RF safety management become more complicated with pTx. In this work, a framework to apply pTx to 3T fetal and 7T brain imaging is developed to address the image shading and high SAR issues. Fetal imaging where a large pregnant torso is imaged rapidly to avoid fetal motion artifacts, suffers from similar levels of image shading and imaging limitations by SAR to 7T brain MRI. Hence the same techniques benefit both application domains. First, a SAR constrained pTx RF pulse design technique is developed for slice selective high flip angle imaging which is clinically the most common imaging technique. Next, the performance of the developed technique in reducing SAR and the image contrast non-uniformity is demonstrated through simulations and in phantom experiments for 7T brain imaging. Then, a comprehensive RF safety workflow for an 8 channel pTx system at 7T is developed. Finally, the potential of pTx for fetal imaging at 3T is demonstrated with simulation studies and a protected fetus mode of pTx was created using additional constraints in the RF pulse design. By addressing the two main RF transmission challenges associated with high and ultrahigh field MRI, this work aims to help bring the benefits of 7T brain imaging into routine clinical use and significantly improve the clinical experience for 3T fetal imaging.

Download or read book MRI from Picture to Proton written by Donald W. McRobbie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MR is a powerful modality. At its most advanced, it can be used not just to image anatomy and pathology, but to investigate organ function, to probe in vivo chemistry, and even to visualise the brain thinking. However, clinicians, technologists and scientists struggle with the study of the subject. The result is sometimes an obscurity of understanding, or a dilution of scientific truth, resulting in misconceptions. This is why MRI from Picture to Proton has achieved its reputation for practical clarity. MR is introduced as a tool, with coverage starting from the images, equipment and scanning protocols and traced back towards the underlying physics theory. With new content on quantitative MRI, MR safety, multi-band excitation, Dixon imaging, MR elastography and advanced pulse sequences, and with additional supportive materials available on the book's website, this new edition is completely revised and updated to reflect the best use of modern MR technology.
