Reduction of flow- and eddy-currents-induced image artifacts in coronary magnetic resonance angiography using a linear centric-encoding SSFP sequence

Coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) acquired using steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequences tends to suffer from image artifacts caused by local magnetic field inhomogeneities. Flow- and gradient-switching-induced eddy currents are important sources of such phase errors, especially under off-resonant conditions. In this study, we propose to reduce these image artifacts by using a linear centric-encoding (LCE) scheme in the phase-encoding (PE) direction. Abrupt change in gradients, including magnitude and polarity between consecutive radiofrequency cycles, is minimized using the LCE scheme. Results from numeric simulations and phantom studies demonstrated that signal oscillation can be markedly reduced using LCE as compared to conventional alternating centric-encoding (ACE) scheme. The image quality of coronary arteries was improved at both 1.5 and 3.0 T using LCE compared to those acquired using ACE PE scheme (1.5 T: ACE/LCE=2.2+/-0.8/3.0+/-0.6, P=.02; 3.0 T: ACE/LCE=2.1+/-1.1/3.0+/-0.8, P=.01). In conclusion, flow- and eddy-currents-induced imaging artifacts in coronary MRA using SSFP sequence can be markedly reduced with LCE acquisition of PE lines.     

基于EEMD-MRA方法的LIBS信号处理研究

LIBS技术优点众多,但由于光谱噪声干扰和基体效应等因素,影响了分析的准确度^[1]; EEMD方法能清晰的将LIBS信号中的不同特征成分自适应的分解开来。MRA方法能够补偿元素信号之间的互干扰,可进一步提高LIBS信号的准确性。通过自行搭建的测试系统获得了标准样品的原始信号,使用EEMD-MRA方法进行处理后,元素浓度曲线的决定系数R²得到了极大的提高,大大的提高数据的准确性,为LIBS信号的处理提供了一种全新的方式。

Tight wavelet frames for irregular multiresolution analysis

An important tool for the construction of tight wavelet frames is the Unitary Extension Principle first formulated in the Fourier-domain by Ron and Shen. We show that the time-domain analogue of this principle provides a unified approach to the construction of tight frames based on many variations of multiresolution analyses, e.g., regular refinements of bounded L-shaped domains, refinements of subdivision surfaces around irregular vertices, and nonstationary subdivision. We consider the case of nonnegative refinement coefficients and develop a fully local construction method for tight frames. Especially, in the shift-invariant setting, our construction produces the same tight frame generators as the Unitary Extension Principle.

A technique for flow-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography of the lower extremities

A two-dimensional, flow-enhanced gradient echo pulse sequence for nuclear magnetic resonance angiography is described. It employs interleaved, presaturated slices to acquire data efficiently on imagers which favor interleaved acquisition over sequential acquisition for multislice imaging. It is useful on any imager when the effective TR is extended to enhance the sensitivity to slow flow. The technique was applied to the region from aortic bifurcation to the iliac bifurcations of three normal volunteers. The right and left common iliac arteries and veins, the separation of the external and internal iliac arteries, and secondary branches were clearly depicted.
