    摘要: The present invention uses spectral-spatial 180° refocusing pulses in the point resolved spectroscopy (PRESS) localization sequence. The PRESS sequence uses a series of three pulses having a tilt angle pattern of 90°-180°-180°. The first excitation pulses in the present invention is a spatially selective 90° tilt angle pulse. The following two pulses are spectral-spatial refocusing pulses which provide multi-dimensional selectivity. This feature allows for enhanced solvent suppression, reduced chemical shift induced spatial displacement and an ability to refocus weakly coupled spins. In a preferred embodiment, the spectral-spatial pulses are time-asymmetric and identical, providing for a linear phase profile by means of phase compensation between the two refocusing pulses. Alternatively, a linear phase profile can be provided by using time-symmetric refocusing pulses. The time-asymmetric feature is preferred because it results in lower applied RF power and shorter echo times.

    摘要: A method for performing magnetic resonance spectroscopy is described. The method generally includes applying a tailored multiband spectral-spatial radio frequency excitation pulse to a sample including a first species and at least a second species having a different resonant frequency than the first species. The multiband excitation pulse excites the first species according to a first amplitude and excites the second species according to a second amplitude that is substantially greater than the first amplitude. Data is acquired from the sample. The acquired data is then utilized to generate a spectroscopic output. By way of example, the spectroscopic output is a spectroscopic image. In particular embodiments, the data for the first and second species is acquired dynamically over an observation window of time.

    摘要: A method for designing non-linear phase 180° spectral-spatial radio frequency pulses that can be used for spectral editing in magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging. A novel feature of the pulse is a symmetric sweep developed by the spectral profile from the outside edges of the spectral window towards the middle whereby coupled components are tipped simultaneously and over a short interval. Pulses have been designed for lactate editing at 1.5T and 3T. The spectral and spatial spin-echo profiles of the RF pulses can be measured experimentally and altered in an iterative manner. Spectral-spatial radio frequency (SSRF) pulses allow simultaneous selection in both frequency and spatial domains. These pulses are particularly important for clinical and research magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) applications for suppression of large water and lipid resonances.

    摘要: A computer implemented method for magnetic resonance imaging is provided. A 3D Fourier Transform acquisition is performed with two phase encode directions, wherein phase code locations are chosen so that a total number of phase encodes is less than a Nyquist rate, and closest distances between phase encode locations takes on a multiplicity of values. Readout signals are received through a multi-channel array of a plurality of receivers. An autocalibrating parallel imaging interpolation is performed and a noise correlation is generated. The noise correlation is used to weight a data consistency term of a compressed sensing iterative reconstruction. An image is created from the autocalibration parallel imaging using the weighted data consistency term. The image is displayed.
