20140043023 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACCELERATED MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING USING SPECTRAL SENSITIVITY - A system and method for accelerated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using spectral sensitivity information are provided. The MRI system is used to acquire k-space data from a subject that when positioned in the main magnetic field of the MRI system causes inhomogeneities in the main magnetic field. Spectral sensitivity information is derived from the acquired k-space data. In general, the spectral sensitivity information relates specific resonance frequencies to distinct spatial locations in the main magnetic field of the MRI system. One or more images of the subject may be reconstructed from the acquired k-space data using the produced spectral sensitivity information to spatially encode the acquired k-space data. By using the spectral sensitivity information to provide spatial-encoding, the data acquisition can be accelerated, for example, by undersampling k-space. In addition, using the provided system and method, clinically viable images can be obtained in the presence of severe off-resonance. | 02-13-2014 |

20150145514 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OBJECT-BASED INITIALIZATION OF MAGNETIC FIELD INHOMOGENEITY IN MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING - An object-based approach is used to initialize the magnetic field inhomogeneity estimation for chemical species separation, such as water-fat separation, and other imaging applications. For example, a susceptibility distribution in the subject being imaged is estimated from images reconstructed from single-echo or multi-echo k-space data and used to initialize the magnetic field inhomogeneity estimation. This approach can be applied to any complex-based chemical shift encoded chemical species separation technique and to other imaging applications, such as susceptibility-weighted imaging and quantitative susceptibility mapping. The field map can also be used to correct for image distortions and to generate magnetic field shimming values. | 05-28-2015 |

20130278254 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SPECTRALLY-RESOLVED THREE-DIMENSIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING WITHOUT FREQUENCY-ENCODING GRADIENTS - A system and method for acquiring spectrally-resolved three-dimensional data with a magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) system without frequency-encoding gradients are provided. An MRI system is directed to produce a radio frequency (“RF”) pulse that rotates net magnetization about an axis, after which a first phase-encoding gradient is established along a first direction, a second phase-encoding gradient is established along a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction, and a third phase-encoding gradient is established along a third direction that is orthogonal to the first and second directions. Spectrally-resolved data are acquired at a point in k-space that is defined by the first, second, and third phase-encoding gradients, and is acquired by sampling a magnetic resonance signal at a plurality of time points during a period of time in which no magnetic field gradients are established by the MRI system. | 10-24-2013 |
