2 Overview of an MRI procedure Subject Safety screening Magnetic field Relaxation processes Tissue protons align with magnetic field (equilibrium state) RF pulses Protons absorb RF energy (excited state) Spatial encoding using magnetic field gradients Larmor Equation ω 0 = γ B 0 Relaxation processes Protons emit RF energy (return to equilibrium state) NMR signal detection Repeat RAW DATA MATRIX Fourier transform IMAGE S (t1,t2) S (x1,x2)
3 Dynamics of the Magnetization Geometrical description: damped precession B 0 M 0 RF ω = γ 0 B 0 B 0 B 0 B 0 B 0 NMR signal M 0 M (t) M (t) M (t) Equilibrium time Equilibrium Mathematical Description: precession + relaxation (Bloch equations) d r M ( t ) dt = r M ( t ) γ r B ext ( t) ( M x î + M y ĵ) T 2 * (M z M 0 ) T 1 ˆk
4 Spatial Encoding in MRI Key concept: ω ( r ) = γ (B 0 + G.r) Slice Selection -Location - Thickness - Rephasing/Refocussing Frequency Encoding - Fourier Transform -FOV - Gradient Echo Formation Phase Encoding - Phase / Frequency Equivalency -FOV
5 Slice Selection RF excitation (selective bandwidth) + magnetic field gradient RF pulse properties shape & duration frequency (w o ) bandwidth (bw) Magnetic field gradient (Gz) B B o ( ) ω ( r ) = γ B 0 + G.r w G z w o bw Schematically RF G z z o z Slice parameters z Phase Slice thickness ( z): bw = γ G z z Slice center (z o ): w o = γ G z z o
6 Pulse sequence so far RF slice select G z t t MR signal from whole Selected slice S(t) T 2 * Sample points Courtesy of L. Wald t
7 Frequency Encoding After slice selection all spins in the selected plane have the same frequency and phase (a) Signal is acquired while a magnetic field gradient G x is on (b) G x (a) (b) Gradient field y x 63 MHz 64 MHz 65 MHz x w (x) = γ G x x
8 Pulse sequence so far RF slice select freq. encode (read-out) G z G x S(t) t Signal dephases rapidly t t Sample points Courtesy of L. Wald t
9 More signal can be obtained: RF slice select freq. encode (read-out) G z G x S(t) + - Dephase Rephase Sample points Acquisition window t We can save some time
10 Pulse sequence so far RF slice select G z freq. encode (read-out) G x - + Gradient Echo S(t) Sample points Acquisition window t
11 Frequency Encoding S (t) Measured signal: time domain Fourier transform S (ω) Frequency spectrum: 1D x-projection time δt Sampling time δt=1/ bw rec N x : number of samples bw rec Receiver bandwidth (bw ) rec frequency ω ( r ) = γ (B 0 + G.r) Acquisition time (t acq ): t = N δt = N / bw acq x x rec Relevant parameters Resolution (δx): δx = FOV x / Nx Field of view (FOV x ): bw = γ G FOV rec x x
12 We could have measured exactly the same information differently: RF So far we ve used ONE RF excitation and we ve acquired Nx sampling points while the read-out gradient was ON slice select G z freq. encode (read-out) G x - + Each S(t) Sample points Acquisition window t
13 Let s look at one arbitrary sampled point in the MR signal RF RF G z G z G x - + = G x - S(t) + = - t - S(t) depends on net dephasing during t Same net dephasing S(t)
14 We can do the same for all Nx sampled points: RF Measure one point after dephasing gradient G z G x - RF G z Net negative dephasing G x RF G z Repeat experiment Nx times to sample all points Net zero dephasing G x + Net positive dephasing
15 We could have measured exactly the same information differently: RF S (t) Measured signal: time domain slice select G z time phase G x FT encode Frequency spectrum: 1D x-projection S(t) S (ω) Repeat Nx times frequency
