| 20100253343 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER ACCESSIBLE MEDIUM FOR PROVIDING HYBRID ADIABATIC-RECTANGULAR PULSE TRAIN FOR EFFECTIVELY COMPLETE SATURATION OF MAGNETIZATION WITHIN AN ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE - According to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, it is possible to provide system, method and computer-accessible medium to facilitate a hybrid adiabatic-rectangular pulse train for saturation of magnetization within an anatomical structure. Using such exemplary embodiments, it is possible to determine information by combining a first information associated with a first nonselective rectangular radio frequency (RF) pulse, a second information associated with a second nonselective rectangular RF pulse, and a third information associated with a nonselective adiabatic half-passage pulse. Further, it is possible to rotate the longitudinal magnetization onto a particular plane (e.g., the transverse plane) based on the information. In addition, it is possible to minimize and/or achieve the residual longitudinal magnetization to be less than a predetermined threshold value (e.g., 2% of equilibrium magnetization) within the anatomical structure using a configuration of RF pulses. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100301860 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER-ACCESSIBLE MEDIUM FOR PROVIDING BREATH-HOLD MULTI-ECHO FAST SPIN-ECHO PULSE SEQUENCE FOR ACCURATE R2 MEASUREMENT - Exemplary embodiments of system, method and computer-accessible medium can be provided in accordance with the present disclosure can be provided for generating a plurality of images associated with at least one anatomical structure using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. For example, using such exemplary embodiments, it is possible to obtain at least one multi-echo fast spin-echo (FSE) pulse sequence based on the MRI data, which can include, e.g., hardware specifications of the MRI system. Further, it is possible to generate each of the images based on a particular arrangement of multiple echoes produced by the multi-echo FSE pulse sequence(s). | 12-02-2010 |
