Local planar gradients with order-of-magnitude strength and speed advantage.

Abstract:

:A three-axis uniplanar gradient coil was designed and built to provide order-of-magnitude increases in gradient strength of up to 500 mT/m on the x- and y-axes, and 1000 mT/m for the z-axis at 640 A input over a limited FOV ( approximately 16 cm) for superficial regions, compared to conventional gradient coils, with significant gradient strengths extending deeper into the body. The gradient set is practically accommodated in the bore of a conventional whole-body, cylindrical-geometry MRI scanner, and operated using standard gradient supplies. The design was optimized for gradient linearity over a restricted volume while accounting for the practical problems of torque and heating. Tests at 320 A demonstrated up to 420-mT/m gradients near the surface at efficiencies of up to 1.4 mT/m/A. A new true 2D gradient-nonlinearity correction algorithm was developed to rectify gradient nonlinearities and considerably expand the imageable volumes. The gradient system and correction algorithm were implemented in a standard 1.5 T scanner and demonstrated by high-resolution imaging of phantoms and humans.

  • Simultaneous quantification of T2 and T'2 using a combined gradient echo-spin echo sequence at ultrahigh field.

    abstract::Measuring T(2) at 7.0 T is not trivial due to RF inhomogeneity effects, however, gradient echo sampling of a spin echo is insensitive to RF pulse errors, does not suffer from significant distortions, and allows T'(2) and T(2) to be estimated simultaneously. Gradient echo sampling of a spin echo results are relatively ...
