Recent developments in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the heart have refocused
attention on the potential of MR and continue to attract intense interest within the radiology and …

PURPOSE: To compare a T1-weighted, three-dimensional (3D), gradient-echo (GRE)
sequence for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the body (volumetric interpolated breath-hold …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequences
was described in the early years of MR imaging. However, due to hardware imperfections, …

PURPOSE: To develop a short-inversion-time inversion-recovery (STIR) magnetic resonance
imaging pulse sequence for evaluating the myocardium that is relatively free of flow and …

Short- and long-axis cine magnetic resonance (MR) images were obtained with a standard
fast low-angle shot, or FLASH, sequence and a first-generation true fast imaging with steady-…

The need for ECG gating presents many difficulties in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI).
Real‐time imaging techniques eliminate the need for ECG gating in cine CMRI, but …

Results of preliminary clinical studies of time-of-flight MR angiography indicate that this
technique can provide accurate reproducible flow images in different anatomic regions of the …

HASTE (HAlf fourier Single‐shot Turbo spin‐Echo) is a single‐section T2‐weighted
sequence that acquires images in less than 1 second. Images are breathing independent and …

The purpose of this work was to develop an ECG‐triggered, segmented 3D true‐FISP (fast
imaging with steady‐state precession) technique to improve the signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Time-resolved MR angiography (MRA) offers the combined
advantage of large anatomic coverage and hemodynamic flow information. We applied …
