1 Bioengineering 280A Principles of Biomedical Imaging Fall Quarter 2015 MRI Lecture 4 k (t) = γ 2π k y (t) = γ 2π K-space At each point in time, the received signal is the Fourier transform of the object s(t) = M( k (t),k y (t)) = F[ m(, y) ] k (t ),k y (t ) evaluated at the spatial frequencies: t 0 t 0 G (τ)dτ G y (τ)dτ Thus, the gradients control our position in k-space. The design of an MRI pulse sequence requires us to efficiently cover enough of k-space to form our image.

ADC samples are acquired at the points shown with Δt = 10 µsec. The desired FOV (both and y) is 10 cm and the desired resolution (both and y) is 2.5 cm. Draw the gradient waveforms required to achieve the k-space trajectory. Label the waveform with the gradient amplitudes required to achieve the desired FOV and resolution. Also, make sure to label the time ais correctly. Assume γ 2π ( ) = 4000Hz / G 1 Gauss = Tesla PollEv.com/be280a 2

5 Free Induction Decay (FID) Relaation An ecitation pulse rotates the magnetization vector away from its equilibrium state (purely longitudinal). The resulting vector has both longitudinal M z and tranverse M y components. Due to thermal interactions, the magnetization will return to its equilibrium state with characteristic time constants. T 1 spin-lattice time constant, return to equilibrium of M z T 2 spin-spin time constant, return to equilibrium of M y Longitudinal Relaation T1 Values dm z dt = M z M 0 T 1 Gray Matter muscle White matter After a 90 degree pulse M z (t) = M 0 (1 e t /T 1 ) Due to echange of energy between nuclei and the lattice (thermal vibrations). Process continues until thermal equilibrium as determined by Boltzmann statistics is obtained. kidney liver fat The energy ΔE required for transitions between down to up spins, increases with field strength, so that T 1 increases with B.

6 Transverse Relaation T2 Relaation dm y dt = M y T 2 y y y z z z Each spin s local field is affected by the z-component of the field due to other spins. Thus, the Larmor frequency of each spin will be slightly different. This leads to a dephasing of the transverse magnetization, which is characterized by an eponential decay. T 2 is largely independent of field. T 2 is short for low frequency fluctuations, such as those associated with slowly tumbling macromolecules.

On the other hand, liquids show relatively long T 2 values, because the spins are highly mobile and net fields average out. Credit: Larry Frank 6

Summary 1) Longitudinal component recovers eponentially. 2) Transverse component precesses and decays eponentially. Source: Fact: Can show that T 2 < T 1 in order for M(t) M 0 Physically, the mechanisms that give rise to T 1 relaation also contribute to transverse T 2 relaation. 8
9 Static Inhomogeneities In the ideal situation, the static magnetic field is totally uniform and the reconstructed object is determined solely by the applied gradient fields. In reality, the magnet is not perfect and will not be totally uniform. Part of this can be addressed by additional coils called shim coils, and the process of making the field more uniform is called shimming. In the old days this was done manually, but modern magnets can do this automatically. Field Inhomogeneities In addition to magnet imperfections, most biological samples are inhomogeneous and this will lead to inhomogeneity in the field. This is because, each tissue has different magnetic properties and will distort the field. Signal Decay 0 TE Some inhomogeneity, Some dephasing time More inhomogeneity, More dephasing, Decrease in MR signal s r (t) = V Static Inhomogeneities The spatial nonuniformity in the field can be modeled by adding an additional term to our signal equation. M( r,t) dv y z = M(, y,z,0)e t /T 2 ( r ) e jω 0t e jω E ( )t ep jγ r ( o ) t G (τ) r dτ ddydz The effect of this nonuniformity is to cause the spins to dephase with time and thus for the signal to decrease more rapidly. To first order this can be modeled as an additional decay term of the form s r (t) = y z M(, y,z,0)e t /T 2 ( r ) e t / T 2 #( r ) e jω 0 t ep jγ ( o ) t G (τ) r dτ ddydz 9

Reversible with a spin-echo sequence. T 2 * decay Gradient echo sequences ehibit T 2 * decay.

However, there will still be T 2 dephasing due to random motion of spins. There is nothing that nuclear spins will not do for you, as long as you treat them as human beings.

In addition different tissues can have different densities of protons. By adjusting the pulse sequence, we can create contrast between the tissues. The most basic way of creating contrast is adjusting the two sequence parameters: TE (echo time) and TR (repetition time). Spin-echo Image Gradient-Echo Image 11
