6-1.5T MAGNETS, DIFFERING GRADIENTS
We maintain a lot of magnets. The leading cause of image quality problems is applications related. Nobody can possibly know all the nuances of pulse sequences by various vendors, software levels, etc. I've heard many times that a certain machine is no good, when in fact the sequences are inefficiently set up. Look there first.

Usually the techs welcome good training. If they don't want to be trained, then you have a problem, but it sounds like this issue is caused by other factors.

If there are differences in baseline quality between the machines, then compensate for that by other means. Signal starvation is easily remedied; keep the quality as consistent as you can and let time be the variable, if it comes down to that.

6-1.5T MAGNETS, DIFFERING GRADIENTS
I assume that you mean a t2 fat suppressed sequence. Differing gradient strengths have only an indirect effect on these images. The fat saturation sequences require additional pulses which take time to execute; stronger gradient systems can execute these pulses faster.

If you see different results, it can be caused by a number of factors; if you can describe the differences, that would be helpful. Generally speaking, the quality of the magnet homogeneity makes a big difference. If the small FOV scans (wrist) look different from magnet to magnet, that's probably not the cause.

You should ask your MRI applications specialist about this, and pay attention to the TE and bandwidth. Are the FOV and number of steps the same?

How to fill the K-space?
Hi,

i've been learning MRI for some weeks, and i really want to know that when we use the spin-echo sequences, how can we fill the data into K-space line by line?

i learned the steps of spatial encoding, but i need the algorithm, or the equations, or the quantitative way to fill the K-space.

thanks a lot!

Easy!!! If you have been working in the field for a while and use the MIC, MRI in practice and any other review book you are set. I had like only 2 math problems and even those were both calculating scan time. Tons of anatomy and the rest dealt with GRE sequences (steady state, spoilers etc) Maybe I was lucky and got the less difficult test but if you are about to take it, don't freak out.

Imaging of the sacral plexus
We are students Technical Medicine from Twente University and are researching the imaging of the anatomical variation of the sacral plexus. This means the imaging of nerves in a fatty/muscle enviroment with a diameter below 1 mm.rnrnWe are interested in different MR-sequences that will show these small nerves (at the moment we came up with MP(2)Rage, STIR, normal SE T1 and DW) Does anybody can provide us why we should or shouldn't use one of these sequences. Or maybe somebody does have a better suggestion?rnrnAlso we were planning to combine spinal and abdominal coils (phased-array RF coils), does this depict the sacral plexus in a good way?rnrnWe also thought about using a 7T MRI scanner, because of the high spatial resolution. Is this a possibility or does it give to much artifacts? Or is the spatial resolution in a 3T machine enough for such small nerves?rnrnThanks in advance!
