Mono-planar T-Hex: Speed and flexibility for high-resolution 3D imaging
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN MEDICINE(2022)
摘要
Purpose The aim of this work is the reconciliation of high spatial and temporal resolution for MRI. For this purpose, a novel sampling strategy for 3D encoding is proposed, which provides flexible k-space segmentation along with uniform sampling density and benign filtering effects related to signal decay. Methods For time-critical MRI applications such as functional MRI (fMRI), 3D k-space is usually sampled by stacking together 2D trajectories such as echo planar imaging (EPI) or spiral readouts, where each shot covers one k-space plane. For very high temporal and medium to low spatial resolution, tilted hexagonal sampling (T-Hex) was recently proposed, which allows the acquisition of a larger k-space volume per excitation than can be covered with a planar readout. Here, T-Hex is described in a modified version where it instead acquires a smaller k-space volume per shot for use with medium temporal and high spatial resolution. Results Mono-planar T-Hex sampling provides flexibility in the choice of speed, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast for rapid MRI acquisitions. For use with a conventional gradient system, it offers the greatest benefit in a regime of high in-plane resolution Mono-planar T-Hex sampling combines fast 3D encoding with SNR efficiency and favorable depiction characteristics regarding noise amplification and filtering effects from T2* decay, thereby providing flexibility in the choice of imaging parameters. It is attractive both for high-resolution time series such as fMRI and for applications that require rapid anatomical imaging.
