Standard foundation and comparison for other sequences Proton density weighted: PD: Long TR (to reduce T1) and short TE (to minimize T2). [4] Joint disease and injury. [5] High signal from meniscus tears. [6] (pictured) Gradient echo (GRE) Steady-state free precession: SSFP: Maintenance of a steady, residual transverse magnetisation over ...
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 .
Fast low angle shot magnetic resonance imaging (FLASH MRI) is a particular sequence of magnetic resonance imaging. It is a gradient echo sequence which combines a low-flip angle radio-frequency excitation of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal (recorded as a spatially encoded gradient echo) with a short repetition time .
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 ...
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 ...
Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), originally called BOLD venographic imaging, is an MRI sequence that is exquisitely sensitive to venous blood, hemorrhage and iron storage. SWI uses a fully flow compensated, long echo, gradient recalled echo (GRE) pulse sequence to acquire images.
Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) is methodology in quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characterized by a pseudo-randomized acquisition strategy. It involves creating unique signal patterns or 'fingerprints' for different materials or tissues after which a pattern recognition algorithm matches these fingerprints with a predefined dictionary of expected signal patterns.
T 2 *-weighted sequences are very useful for evaluation of articular cartilages and ligaments because a relatively long T 2 * makes the articular cartilage becomes more hyperintense, while bone becomes hypointense. [2] T 2 *-weighted sequences can be used with MRI contrast, mainly ferucarbotran or superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO), to depict ...
