This study introduces a fast MRI method to correct spatial encoding gradient imperfections. The technique uses the MR signal to measure k-space trajectories, improving image quality without phantoms.

Area of Science:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Medical Physics
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • Spatial encoding gradients in MRI are prone to imperfections.
  • These imperfections, including eddy-current effects, can distort images.
  • Existing correction methods often require complex procedures or additional measurements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simple, fast, and hardware-independent method for correcting spatial encoding gradient imperfections in MRI.
  • To enable accurate k-space trajectory measurement using the MR signal itself.
  • To demonstrate the correction of gradient hardware imperfections and eddy-current effects.

Main Methods:

  • A novel method utilizing the MR signal to measure the k-space trajectory during imaging.
