Zero TE Imaging for MRA and Bone
This lecture will dive into basic imaging formation, MR signal loss in Time-of-Flight MR angiography and cortical bone imaging, applications of Zero TE imaging in TOF and explore image and case review.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze and explain the basic processes of image formation, focusing on the roles of echo time (TE), Free Induction Decay (FID), gradients, and the definitions and effects of magnetic susceptibility.
- Define and understand the basic difficulty in MR signal loss in Time-of-Flight MR angiography and cortical bone imaging.
- Demonstrate the principles involved in achieving a near-zero echo time (TE).
- Define the applications of Zero TE imaging in TOF and cortical bone imaging.
- Identify Zero-TE pathology and results.
