Magnetic Resonance Imaging01:24

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

10.6K
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

When magnetic nuclei in a sample achieve resonance and undergo relaxation, the signal detected in NMR is an approximately exponential free induction decay. Fourier transform of an exponential decay yields a Lorentzian peak in the frequency domain. Lorentzian peaks in an NMR spectrum are defined by their amplitude, full width at half maximum, and position, where the peak width is governed by the spin-spin relaxation time alone. In real experiments, however, the applied magnetic field is rendered...

Atomic Nuclei: Magnetic Resonance

1.4K
The number of nuclear spins aligned in the lower energy state is slightly greater than those in the higher energy state. In the presence of an external magnetic field, as the spins precess at the Larmor frequency, the excess population results in a net magnetization oriented along the z axis. When a pulse or a short burst of radio waves at the Larmor frequency is applied along the x axis, the coupling of frequencies causes resonance and flips the nuclear spins of the excess population from the...

NMR Spectrometers: Overview

2.6K
NMR spectrometers consist of a strong magnet, a radiofrequency transmitter, and a detector attached to a computer console for recording spectra of samples containing NMR-active nuclei. In first-generation NMR instruments called continuous-wave spectrometers, the resonance frequencies of the nuclei are determined by frequency-sweep or field-sweep methods. The magnetic field strength is fixed and the rf signal is swept in the former, while the radiofrequency signal is fixed and the magnetic field...

NMR Spectrometers: Radiofrequency Pulses and Pulse Sequences

2.2K
A pulse is a short burst of radio waves distributed over a range of frequencies that simultaneously excites all the nuclei in the sample. Upon passing a radio frequency pulse along the x-axis, the nuclei absorb energy corresponding to their Larmor frequencies and achieve resonance. This shifts the net magnetization vector from the z-axis toward the transverse plane. This angle of rotation of the magnetization vector, or the flip angle, is proportional to the duration and intensity of the pulse.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Longitudinal ultrahigh-field magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) studies require precise and reproducible voxel placement for accurate data.
  • Manual voxel positioning can be time-consuming and prone to variability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of an automated voxel positioning technique (AutoAlign) in ultrahigh-field longitudinal MRS.
  • To compare automated voxel placement with manual placement in healthy subjects.

Main Methods:

  • Automated voxel positioning (AutoAlign) and manual placement were performed in cingulate subregions of healthy subjects across multiple scan sessions.
  • Different RF coils were used for automated (32-channel) and manual (24-channel) placement, with signal-to-noise ratio considered.

Main Results:

  • Automated positioning achieved a high mean voxel geometric overlap ratio (0.91), indicating accurate alignment.
  • Manual positioning resulted in a lower overlap ratio (0.70) and significant voxel displacement across sessions.
  • Automated voxel placement demonstrated high reproducibility, with comparable positions across scan sessions (p > 0.05).

Conclusions:

  • Automated voxel positioning provides highly accurate and reproducible results in ultrahigh-field longitudinal MRS.
  • The study recommends adopting automated voxel positioning for future longitudinal ultrahigh-field MRS research to improve data consistency.
