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.
Steady-state free precession: SSFP: Maintenance of a steady, residual transverse magnetisation over successive cycles. [7] Creation of cardiac MRI videos (pictured). [7] Effective T2 or "T2-star" T2* Spoiled gradient recalled echo (GRE) with a long echo time and small flip angle [8] Low signal from hemosiderin deposits (pictured) and ...
COSMOS assumes a model-free susceptibility distribution and keeps full fidelity to the measured data. This method has been validated extensively in in vitro, ex vivo and phantom experiments. Quantitative susceptibility maps obtained from in vivo human brain imaging also showed high degree of agreement with previous knowledge about brain anatomy ...
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 .
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 ...
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 ...
Analysis of Functional NeuroImages (AFNI) is an open-source environment for processing and displaying functional MRI data—a technique for mapping human brain activity. AFNI is an agglomeration of programs that can be used interactively or flexibly assembled for batch processing using shell script .
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.
