A motion artifact is one of the most common artifacts in MR imaging. [2] Motion can cause either ghost images or diffuse image noise in the phase-encoding direction. The reason for mainly affecting data sampling in the phase-encoding direction is the significant difference in the time of acquisition in the frequency- and phase-encoding ...
Ghosting is a multidimensional artifact that occurs in the MRI in the phase-encoded direction (short axis of the image) after applying the Fourier transform. When the phase of the magnetic resonance signal is being encoded into the 2D or 3D Fourier image, a mild deviation from the actual phase and amplitude may occur.
The magic angle artifact refers to the increased signal observed when MRI sequences with short echo time (TE) (e.g., T 1 or proton density spin-echo sequences) are used to image tissues with well-ordered collagen fibers in one direction (e.g., tendon or articular hyaline cartilage). [1]
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to generate pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to form images of the organs in the body.
Displacement artifacts (also known as misregistration and oblique flow artifacts) occur when there is a time difference between the phase and frequency encoding. These artifacts are highest when the flow direction is within the slice plane (most prominent in the heart and aorta for biological flows) [10]
Example Spin echo: T1 weighted: T1: Measuring spin–lattice relaxation by using a short repetition time (TR) and echo time (TE). Lower signal for more water content, [1] as in edema, tumor, infarction, inflammation, infection, hyperacute or chronic hemorrhage. [2] High signal for fat [1] [2] High signal for paramagnetic substances, such as MRI ...
However, the field to source inverse problem involves division by zero at a pair of cone surfaces at the magic angle with respect to B 0 in the Fourier domain. Consequently, susceptibility is underdetermined at the spatial frequencies on the cone surface, which often leads to severe streaking artifacts in the reconstructed QSM.
Steady-state free precession (SSFP) imaging is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence which uses steady states of magnetizations. In general, SSFP MRI sequences are based on a (low flip angle) gradient echo MRI sequence with a short repetition time which in its generic form has been described as the FLASH MRI technique. While spoiled ...
