This thesis describes methods to improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reconstruction and system calibration, namely, B1 field mapping which is to measure the spatial distribution …
(57) ABSTRACT A method of acquiring image data with an MRI system from an object using a sequence of tip-down and tip-up RF pulses is described. A slice-selective first pulse a …
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides a non-invasive glimpse inside the human body, generates excellent soft tissue contrast, uses non-ionizing radiation, and has become …
(57) ABSTRACT A system and method for acquiring image data from an object that includes a plurality of spins is described. A magnetic field is applied to the object to align the spins …
