1 Principles of MRI EE225E / BIO265
2 RF Excitation (Chap. 6) Energy is deposited into the system RF pulses used for: Excitation Contrast manipulation Refocussing (...more later) Saturation Tagging Transfer of magnetization
3 RF Excitation (Chap. 6) History: 80 s - 90 s Lots of Research Mid 90 s most problems figured out Mid 2000 new burst of research with multiple xmitters
4 Excitation Excitation is short ~2-3ms. Can neglect relaxation Simplified Block eq Only defines rotations!
5 Excitation
6 Rotating Frame In rotating frame at ω0, B+ω0/γ = 0 B e =[B 1x,B 1y, ~ G ~r] T Bloch equation for excitation: 2 4 Ṁ x Ṁ y Ṁ z 3 5 = G ~ ~r B1y ~G ~r 0 B 1x B 1y B 1x M x M y M z 3 5
7 RF Excitation Several Special cases: ~G ~r 6= 0 Gradient is on: excitation is spatially selective (next week) ~G ~r =0 Gradient is off: non-selective excitation (Today)
8 Non Selective Excitation 2 4 Ṁ x Ṁ y Ṁ z 3 5 = B 1y 0 0 B 1x B 1y B 1x M x M y M z 3 5 B e =[B 1x,B 1y, 0] T Magnetization precesses around Beff
9 RF Excitation Lab Frame Rotating Frame
10 RF Excitation
11 Time Varying B1 For time varying B1: Z t = B 1x ( )d Rotations about a common axis add! (not true in general) 0
12 Useful Rotations
13 Useful Rotations
14 Useful Rotations
15 What do these pulses do? = 2 = = =
16 Example: Non selective RF Typical Numbers: B1 = 0.1G ω1 = ɣb1 = 2π rad/sec f1 426Hz For a π/2 pulse: 1/4 rotation τ 1000/426 * 1/4 = 0.6 ms
17 What do these pulses do? = 2 = 2 B 1 =[ B 1, 0, 0] T B 1 =[B 1 cos( ),B 1 sin( ), 0] T = 2 B 1 =[0,B 1, 0] T
18 Slice Selective Example ~G =[0, 0, ~ Gz ] T Only spins near resonance frequency are excited.
19 Slice Selective Example pulse sequence: t = M xy (~r, ) Q: What is:?
20 Slice Selectivity as Rotations B1x, B1y are the same EVERYWHERE Gzz changes linearly with z Example: Gz=1G/cm, B1x=0.16G: G z z<< B 1 G z z B 1 G z z =0 G z z B 1 G z z>>b 1 z=-10cm z=-0.16cm z=0 cm z=+0.16cm z=+10cm
21 Slice Selectivity as Rotations B1x, B1y are the same EVERYWHERE Gzz changes linearly with z Example: Gz=1G/cm, B1x=0.16G: G z z<< B 1 G z z B 1 G z z =0 G z z B 1 G z z>>b 1 z=-10cm z=-0.16cm z=0 cm z=+0.16cm z=+10cm
22 Slice Selectivity Simple Cases: On-Resonance same as Non-Selective G z z =0) = Far off resonance, Gzz dominates no Mxy produced! Z 0 B 1 (t)dt G z z >> B 1 ) ~n [0, 0, 1]
23 Slice Selectivity M xy =sin M xy 0 M xy 0 z,! what happens here? In general, a hard problem Rotations fundamentally non-linear Many Solutions for special cases Including most interesting ones
24 Small Tip-Angle Excitation Pulses Basic idea: Tip angle is small Mz M0 throughout the excitation pulse M z = cos( )M 0 M 0 M xy = sin( )M 0 M 0
25 Bloch Equation - Selective RF 2 4 Ṁ x Ṁ y Ṁ z 3 5 = ~ G ~r B1y ~G ~r 0 B 1x B 1y B 1x M x M y M z 3 5 If M z M 0 the last equation decouples! 2 4 Ṁ x Ṁ y Ṁ z 3 5 = ~ G ~r B1y ~G ~r 0 B 1x M x M y M z 3 5
26 Bloch Equation - Small Tip Approximation apple Ṁx Ṁ y = apple Bloch Eq. Simplifies to: ~G ~r 0 B 1x M y 0 G ~ ~r B1y apple Mx M0 apple Ṁx Ṁ y = apple 0 ~ G~r ~G~r 0 apple Mx M y + apple B 1y B 1x M 0 Precession (like reception) Excitation Note: Mx, My, G, B1 are a function of time!
27 Small Tip-Angle Approximation Example: ISO-Center B1=B1x apple Ṁx Ṁ y = apple 0 M B 0 1x Mxy = Mx + imy is linear with B1! M xy = i B 1x M 0 t
28 Derivation apple Ṁx Ṁ y = apple 0 ~ G~r ~G~r 0 apple Mx M y + apple B 1y B 1x M 0
29 Derivation Solve like in the reception case! Integrating factor: e i R t G ~r ~ 1 d
30 Derivation Integrate from - to t=t to find Mxy(r,T) - t T
31 Derivation
32 Small Tip-Angle Approximation Solution for general Eq. at time t=t M xy (~r,t)=im 0 Z T 1 B 1 (t)e i2 ~ k(t) ~r dt,where ~ k(t) =2 Z T ~G( )d t k(t) is area of the remaining gradient
33 Example: Slice Selection M xy (z,t) =im 0 Z T M xy (z,t) =im 0 Z 0 W (k) = 2 B 1(k) G(k) K B 1 (t)e i2 k z(t)z dt This is not exactly a Fourier transform Would like: W (k)e i2 k zz dk z
34 Example: Slice Selection M xy (z,t) =im 0 Z T 0 B 1 (t)e i2 k z(t)z dt B1 Gz - First find kz(t) - Map B1(t) to kz(t) - Compute the integral (Fourier transform)
35 Example: Slice Selection B1 Gz kz - Plot B1(t) vs kz(t): 0 k z (T ) k z (0)
36 Example: Slice Selection 0 k z - B1 is not centered in k-space - We get the right magnitude Mxy Mxy z
37 Example: Slice Selection 0 k z - But we get phase across the slice... signal cancels! Mx(T) My(T)
38 Slice Refocussing B1 Gz kz 0 k z (T ) k z (0)
39 Graphical Interpretation M xy (t) =(i B 1 (t) t)m 0 - At each time-point new x-verse magnetization is created - The new magnetization exhibits precession
40 Graphical Interpretation M xy (t) =(i B 1 (t) t)m 0 k z (t) = 2 Z T t G z ( )d area of remaining gradient - Magnetization at position z precesses through angle: = 2 k z (t) - Magnetization excited at t, at position z will end up: (im 0 B 1 (t)dt)e i2 k z(t)z
41 Graphical Interpretation M xy (t) =(i B 1 (t) t)m 0 - Each magnetization increment is created/precesses independently! Result is the sum of all. - Sum up magnetizations from t=0 to t=t M xy (z,t) =im 0 Z T 0 B 1 (t)e i2 k z(t)z dt
42 Excitation k-space J. Pauly, D. Nishimura and A. Makovski A k-space analysis of small-tip-angle excitation JMR, 1989;81:43-56 * Slightly different conventions than we used.
43 RF and readout - RF burns magnetization in k-space - Receive reads the burned magnetization (weighted by object) uniform object B1 k-space z Gz kz A/D
44 Spin Bench simulation
45 k-space Weighting Example B1 Gz kz k z (T ) 0 k z (0)
46 Examples What does this do?

49 Multiple Excitations B1 Gz B1 Gz
50 RF Pulse Design Choose, B1(t) with a nice transform B 1 (t) / sinc(t) t[ms] rect(f) f[khz] Not prectical, since sinc is continuous indefinitely
51 Truncated sinc -N N B 1 (t) / sinc(t)rect(t/2n) rect(f)*2n sinc(2nf) Too much Ripple!
52 Windowed sinc -N N B 1 (t) / sinc(t)w(t/2n) rect(f)*2n W(2Nf) Hanning Window
