T1 Mapping
T1 mapping, one form of tissue characterization performed with a parametric approach, has been gaining rapid popularity, as different sequences have been developed to integrate image acquisition into a clinical…
4D Flow MRI Applications for Aortic Disease
Aortic disease is routinely monitored with anatomic imaging, but until the recent advent of 3-directional phase contrast MRI (4D) flow, blood flow abnormalities have gone undetected. 4D flow measures aortic…
Ventricular Mechanics
Magnetic resonance assessment of regional myocardial function is a novel potentially important tool for early identification of cardiac pathology. Many cardiac magnetic resonance techniques have been developed for detection and…
MR Physics in Practice
The quality of the medical imaging is a key component for accurate disease diagnosis. Optimizing image quality while maintaining scan time efficiency and patient comfort is important for routine clinical…
