Abstract

In this work we investigate the combination of Model-based Accelerated RelaxomeTry by Iterative Nonlinear Inversion (MARTINI) with Generalized Autocalibrating Partially Parallel Acquisition (GRAPPA) to further accelerate and improve the reconstruction quality of T2 maps. GRAPPA is used to interpolate missing k-space lines of two-fold subsampled blocks of the MARTINI scheme prior to the MARTINI reconstruction. Images from an analytical phantom and in-vivo datasets are investigated. Resulting T2 maps of nominal 10-fold accelerated whole brain exams (1:40 minutes scans) are qualitatively and quantitatively compared to the reconstruction of the fully sampled and conventional 5-fold accelerated MARTINI datasets.

Map

A map is a symbolic depiction emphasizing relationships between elements of some space, such as objects, regions, or themes. Many maps are static, fixed to paper or some other durable medium, while others are dynamic or interactive. Although most commonly used to depict geography, maps may represent any space, real or fictional, without regard to context or scale, such as in brain mapping, DNA mapping, or computer network topology mapping.

Magnetic resonance imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes of the body. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to generate images of the organs in the body. MRI does not involve X-rays or the use of ionizing radiation, which distinguishes it from computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans.

World map

A world map is a map of most or all of the surface of Earth. World maps, because of their scale, must deal with the problem of projection. Maps rendered in two dimensions by necessity distort the display of the three-dimensional surface of the earth. While this is true of any map, these distortions reach extremes in a world map. Many techniques have been developed to present world maps that address diverse technical and aesthetic goals. Charting a world map requires global knowledge of the earth, its oceans, and its continents.
