Susceptibility-weighted: SWI: Spoiled gradient recalled echo (GRE), fully flow compensated, long echo time, combines phase image with magnitude image [9] Detecting small amounts of hemorrhage (diffuse axonal injury pictured) or calcium. [9] Inversion recovery Short tau inversion recovery: STIR
The susceptibility weighted image is created by combining the magnitude and filtered phase images. A mask is created from the phase image by mapping all values above 0 radians to be 1 and linearly mapping values from -π to 0 radians to range from 0 to 1, respectively.
A unique advantage of MRI is that it provides not only the phase image but also the magnitude image. In principle, the contrast change, or equivalently the edge, on a magnitude image arises from the underlying change of tissue type, which is the same cause for the change of susceptibility.
An MRI pulse sequence in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a particular setting of pulse sequences and pulsed field gradients, resulting in a particular image appearance. [ 1 ] A multiparametric MRI is a combination of two or more sequences, and/or including other specialized MRI configurations such as spectroscopy .
CONN preprocessing pipeline includes steps designed to estimate and correct effects derived from subject motion within the scanner (realignment), correct spatial distortions due to inhomogeneities in the magnetic field (susceptibility distortion correction), correct for temporal misalignment across slices (slice timing correction), identify potential outlier images within each scanning session ...
Phase contrast MRI is one of the main techniques for magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). This is used to generate images of arteries (and less commonly veins) in order to evaluate them for stenosis (abnormal narrowing), occlusions, aneurysms (vessel wall dilatations, at risk of rupture) or other abnormalities. MRA is often used to evaluate ...
Modern 3 Tesla clinical MRI scanner.. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique mostly used in radiology and nuclear medicine in order to investigate the anatomy and physiology of the body, and to detect pathologies including tumors, inflammation, neurological conditions such as stroke, disorders of muscles and joints, and abnormalities in the heart and blood vessels ...
The phase image is phase-shift encoded, where white high signals represent forward flowing CSF and black low signals represent backwards flow. Since the phase image is phase-dependent, the velocity can be quantitatively estimated from the image. The background is mid-grey in color.
