Echo01:06

Echo

959
The human ear cannot distinguish between two sources of sound if they happen to reach within a specific time interval, typically 0.1 seconds apart. More than this, and they are perceived as separate sources.
Imagine the sound is reflected back to the ears. Assuming that the source is very close to the human, the difference between hearing the two sounds—the emitted sound and the reflected sound—may be more than the minimum time for perceiving distinct sounds. If this is the case,...

NMR Spectroscopy: Spin–Spin Coupling

3.2K
The spin state of an NMR-active nucleus can have a slight effect on its immediate electronic environment. This effect propagates through the intervening bonds and affects the electronic environments of NMR-active nuclei up to three bonds away; occasionally, even farther. This phenomenon is called spin–spin coupling or J-coupling. Coupling interactions are mutual and result in small changes in the absorption frequencies of both nuclei involved. While nuclei of the same element are involved...

Spin–Spin Coupling: One-Bond Coupling

1.5K
Coupling interactions are strongest between NMR-active nuclei bonded to each other, where spin information can be transmitted directly through the pair of bonding electrons. While nuclei polarize their electrons to the opposite spins, the bonding electron pair has opposite spins. Configurations with antiparallel nuclear spins are expected to be lower in energy. When coupling makes antiparallel states more favorable, J is considered to have a positive value. The one-bond coupling constant, 1J,...

Spin–Spin Coupling Constant: Overview

1.5K
In bromoethane, the three methyl protons are coupled to the two methylene protons that are three bonds away. In accordance with the n+1 rule, the signal from the methyl protons is split into three peaks with 1:2:1 relative intensities. The methylene protons appear as a quartet, with the relative intensities of 1:3:3:1.
Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)01:20

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)

1.7K
Two NMR-active nuclei bonded to a central atom can be involved in geminal or two-bond coupling. Geminal coupling is commonly seen between diastereotopic protons in chiral molecules and unsymmetrical alkenes, among others.
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)01:22

Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)

1.5K
Vicinal or three-bond coupling is commonly observed between protons attached to adjacent carbons. Here, nuclear spin information is primarily transferred via electron spin interactions between adjacent C‑H bond orbitals. This generally favors the antiparallel arrangement of spins, so 3J values are usually positive.
The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...

Area of Science:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Quantitative Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Ultra-high magnetic fields in MRI can cause signal decay in multi-echo turbo spin echo (ME-TSE) sequences.
  • Reduced refocusing flip angles lead to T2 overestimation due to secondary echoes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a fast and accurate method for quantitative T2 value reconstruction.
  • To assess the feasibility of using ME-TSE with reduced flip angles at 7 Tesla.

Main Methods:

  • A dictionary-based reconstruction method was developed using Bloch simulations and the extended phase graph model.
  • Signal decay curves accounted for nonrectangular slice profiles, B1 inhomogeneity, and reduced flip angles.
  • Data from ME-TSE at 7 Tesla were matched to the dictionary; spin echo (SE) sequences provided reference T2 values.

Main Results:

  • The proposed ME-TSE method accurately determined T2 values in phantom measurements, consistent with SE reference values (P=0.89 for 120°, P=0.75 for 180°).
  • Slight T2 overestimation occurred only at very low B1 fields.
  • In vivo gray and white matter T2 values were lower than reported 3 Tesla data.

Conclusions:

  • The dictionary-based ME-TSE approach provides accurate T2 quantification at 7 Tesla in short scan times.
  • Reduced flip angles lower specific absorption rate (SAR), enhancing safety.
  • This method offers potential for improved radiographic diagnosis in clinical high-field MRI.
