Abstract:
A segmented k-space acquisition technique using noninterleaved velocity encodings is presented to reduce spatial and temporal blur in phase-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. A translating phantom with pulsatile flow was used to simulate imaging of coronary arteries on a 1.5-T GE Echospeed scanner, using both interleaved and noninterleaved velocity encodings. The results demonstrate that the use of noninterleaved velocity encodings reduces spatial and temporal blur by improving the temporal resolution.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
