2008 IGT Project Week Fast Imaging Library

Back to 2008_IGT_Project_Week#Projects

Team: Scott Hoge, Bob Kraft

Goals: Further develop tools to enable interactive EPI measurements for perfusion, fMRI, and temperature monitoring using accelerated and efficient EPI-based MR acquisitions

Approach:

• complete a mechanism to maintain the phase in our pMRI-UNFOLD-EPI acquisition technique, which is required for both temperature change estimation and EPI distortion correction
• incorporate real-time hooks into EPI sequence, to provide interactive acquisitions
• start investigations into radial EPI

Results (to be completed and presented at the end of the week):
