A modified BURST imaging technique with a nearly twofold reduction in acquisition time, improved signal-to-noise ratio and clear improvement of the image quality is introduced. The method applies half-Fourier reconstruction and can be implemented on a standard clinical scanner. This approach allows the collection of single-shot magnetization prepared images of the human brain with a matrix size of 112 x 128 within 86-250 ms. The signal-to-noise properties of the pulse sequence are analyzed and compared with a standard BURST experiment.
介绍了一种改进的BURST成像技术,其采集时间缩短近两倍,信噪比提高,图像质量明显改善。该方法采用半傅里叶重建,可在标准临床扫描仪上实现。这种方法能够在86 - 250毫秒内采集矩阵大小为112×128的人脑单次激发磁化准备图像。分析了该脉冲序列的信噪比特性,并与标准BURST实验进行了比较。
