A new design and rationale for 3D orthogonally oversampled k‐space trajectories

JG Pipe, NR Zwart, EA Aboussouan… - Magnetic resonance …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
A novel center‐out 3D trajectory for sampling magnetic resonance data is presented. The
trajectory set is based on a single Fermat spiral waveform, which is substantially …

Efficient sample density estimation by combining gridding and an optimized kernel

NR Zwart, KO Johnson, JG Pipe - Magnetic resonance in …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The reconstruction of non‐Cartesian k‐space trajectories often requires the estimation of
nonuniform sampling density. Particularly for 3D, this calculation can be computationally …

ISMRM Raw data format: A proposed standard for MRI raw datasets

SJ Inati, JD Naegele, NR Zwart… - Magnetic resonance …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Purpose This work proposes the ISMRM Raw Data format as a common MR raw data format,
which promotes algorithm and data sharing. Methods A file format consisting of a flexible …

Spiral trajectory design: a flexible numerical algorithm and base analytical equations

JG Pipe, NR Zwart - Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Purpose Spiral‐based trajectories for magnetic resonance imaging can be advantageous,
but are often cumbersome to design or create. This work presents a flexible numerical …

Graphical programming interface: a development environment for MRI methods

NR Zwart, JG Pipe - Magnetic resonance in medicine, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Purpose To introduce a multiplatform, Python language‐based, development environment
called graphical programming interface for prototyping MRI techniques. Methods The …

Joint water–fat separation and deblurring for spiral imaging

D Wang, NR Zwart, JG Pipe - Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Purpose Most previous approaches to spiral Dixon water–fat imaging perform the water–fat
separation and deblurring sequentially based on the assumption that the phase …

Revised motion estimation algorithm for PROPELLER MRI

…, Z Li, JP Karis, M Schar, NR Zwart - Magnetic resonance …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Purpose To introduce a new algorithm for estimating data shifts (used for both rotation and
translation estimates) for motion‐corrected PROPELLER MRI. The method estimates shifts for …

Multidirectional high‐moment encoding in phase contrast MRI

NR Zwart, JG Pipe - Magnetic resonance in medicine, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The use of phase contrast MRI to measure vascular flow provides a unique method for
acquiring quantitative estimates of flow as well as morphological imaging. The quantitative …

Arterial spin labeled perfusion imaging using three‐dimensional turbo spin echo with a distributed spiral‐in/out trajectory

Z Li, M Schär, D Wang, NR Zwart… - Magnetic resonance …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Purpose The three‐dimensional (3D) spiral turbo spin echo (TSE) sequence is one of the
preferred readout methods for arterial spin labeled (ASL) perfusion imaging. Conventional …

Analytical three‐point Dixon method: With applications for spiral water–fat imaging

D Wang, NR Zwart, Z Li, M Schär… - Magnetic resonance in …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Purpose The goal of this work is to present a new three‐point analytical approach with flexible
even or uneven echo increments for water–fat separation and to evaluate its feasibility …
