I' m a student master of medical imaging, and I was wondering which MRI technics are used to visualise the corticospinal tracts? Diffusion tensor imaging is one of them, I think...
kind regards
marleen michels, kuleuven.
Pt had c6-7 ACDF in 2015. MRI obtained 1/20 indicated mild stenosis at c3-4. upper Thor was perfect and nothing significant below c4. HOWEVER, Xray last week and subsequent review on entire timeline (post surgery until now) indicate otherwise.
Im having difficulty producing a good quality exam to pass ACR accreditation for Aries II .3T open.
can someone give me any tips pls.
specially the
T2 sag
Slice thickness must be <3.0mm
GAP< 1.0mm
In plane pixel(read)<1mm
In plane pixel(phase)<1mm
Pixel are<1
I Cant get it in specs. without going over this numbers
thanks in advance
Improving MEDIC/MERGE/M-ffe and GRE/FFE image quality
I work on an Ingenia Elition Philips scanner. I'm having trouble with Axial C-spine sequences for both M-ffe and FFE. On the M-ffe there is always motion in the cord and the contrast is poor. With the FFE the closer we get to the lungs the worse the quality becomes. There is usually loss of signal and the image doesn't look uniform. I've tried a bunch of different parameter combinations to try giving it more signal and contrast while decreasing the motion in the cord but it never seems to look that good. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
