From Esaote S.p.A.;
Esaote introduced the new G-SCAN at the RSNA in Dec. 2004. The G-SCAN covers almost all musculoskeletal applications including the spine. The tilting gantry is designed for scanning in weight-bearing positions. This unique MRI scanner is developed in line with the Esaote philosophy of creating high quality MRI systems that are easy to install and that have a low breakeven point.

(ISIS) Image selected in vivo spectroscopy is used as a localization sequence to provide complete gradient controlled three-dimensional localization with a reduced number of sequence cycles, e.g. for in vivo 31P spectroscopy.
The ISIS method generates three 180° pulses prior to a 90° pulse, after which the free induction decay is recorded. Specific 180° pulses (slice-selective) are combined and the FID's added or subtracted to generate a spectrum.
An advantage of the ISIS method is that the magnetization (before the final 90° pulse) is predominantly along the z-axis and so T2 effects are relatively small. This explains the value of this technique for 31P data acquisition, because some phosphorus metabolites (e.g. ATP) have short T2 values.
A disadvantage is that eight acquisitions are required to accomplish the spatial localization, therefore the sequence cannot be used for localized shimming.
Another problem, because any variation between these data collections (for example, due to movement) will degrade these applications, can be solved by incorporating outer volume suppression techniques such as OSIRIS (modified ISIS). | | | | | |
