Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping in Human Brain: Short Echo Timing, Thin Slab, and Non-harmonized Multisite Applications
DownloadSpring 2023
Quantifying tissue magnetic susceptibility provides a non-invasive way to monitor iron and myelin abnormalities associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a post-processing technique that retrieves the susceptibility distribution from the...

Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping in Ischemic Stroke: Cerebral Veins, Tissue, and Microbleeds
DownloadSpring 2019
Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is an emerging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) post-processing technique that uses phase images from a gradient echo sequence to create magnetic susceptibility maps. QSM is sensitive to paramagnetic iron found in various states of blood, from...

Spring 2010
A prototype system which has integrated a linear accelerator (linac) with a magnetic resonance imager (MRI) has been constructed at the Cross Cancer Institute. The real time operation of a linac-MRI system will require proper radio frequency (RF) shielding such that the MRI images can be acquired...

Spring 2018
Quantitative relaxation mapping allows for direct non-invasive tissue quantification with removal of variations arising from RF fields and non-uniform coil sensitivity profiles. T2 may be quantified using multi-echo spin echo sequences; however, in practical imaging situations, imperfect...
