Multi-Physics Multi-Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging

2021-05-15
In this study, a Diffusion-Weighted (DW) Spin Echo (SE) based pulse sequence with current injection is proposed to combine data acquisitions of theDiffusion Tensor (), current-induced magnetic flux densityand the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow imaging. The current density distribution() can be estimated from the measuredusing the MRCDI method and the conductivity tensor can be reconstructed from the acquiredand theestimatedusing the DT-MREIT method. The acquired results of an experimental phantom with anisotropic diffusion using DW-SE pulse sequenceshows that the proposed method could provide multi-contrast imaging based on multiple physical properties.

Regional Image Reconstruction with Optimum Currents for MREIT - Evaluation on Shepp-Logan Conductivity Phantom
Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Altunel, Haluk (2008-11-27)
In this study, an image reconstruction algorithm for magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) is proposed to achieve maximum benefit of optimum current injection patterns. By doing so, considerable reduction in probing current amplitude could be possible. In the proposed algorithm, field of view (FOV) is divided into a number of segments. Image of each segment is reconstructed separately, based on measurements obtained using the best (optimum) current patterns, which maximize distinguishab...

Three-dimensional gradient echo (GRE) is the main workhorse sequence used for susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), and susceptibility tensor imaging (STI). Achieving optimal phase signal-to-noise ratio requires late echo times, thus necessitating a long repetition time (TR). Combined with the large encoding burden of whole-brain coverage with high resolution, this leads to increased scan time. Further, the dipole kernel relating the tissue phase to the underlying...
Equipotential projection based magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (mr-eit) for high resolution conductivity imaging
Özdemir, Mahir Sinan; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003)
In this study, a direct reconstruction algorithm for Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MR-EIT) is proposed and experimentally implemented for high resolution true conductivity imaging. In MR-EIT, elec trical impedance tomography (EIT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are combined together. Current density measurements are obtained making use of Magnetic Resonance Current Density Imaging (MR-CDI) techniques and peripheral potential measurements are determined using conventional EIT tech...
Multi-subject brain decoding using deep learning techniques

In this study, a new method is proposed for analyzing and classifying images obtained by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) from multiple subjects. Considering the multi level structure of the brain and success of deep learning architectures on extracting hierarchical representations from raw data, these architectures are used in this thesis. Initially, the S500 data set collected in the scope of Human Connectome Project (HCP) is used to train formed deep neural networks in an unsupervised fashion...
Wide-field turbulence imaging with beam emission spectroscopy
McKee, G. R.; Fonck, R. J.; Shafer, M. W.; Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; Yan, Z. (AIP Publishing, 2010-10-01)
Imaging of the size, shape, time-averaged, and time-resolved dynamics of long-wavelength density turbulence structures is accomplished with an expanded, high-sensitivity, wide-field beam emission spectroscopy (BES) diagnostic on DIII-D. A 64-channel BES system is configured with an 8 X 8 grid of discrete channels that image an approximately 7 X 9 cm region at the outboard midplane. The grid covers multiple correlation lengths and each channel shape matches the measured radial-poloidal correlation length asy...
