Natural reconstruction coordinates for imperfect TRASE MRI

From MaRDI portal





TRASE MRI (transmit array spatial encoding magnetic resonance imaging) uses spatially varying phases in a nuclear magnetic resonance spin-echo radio frequency pulse sequence. When the TRASE transmit coils are perfect, the spatial isophase contours are straight and orthogonal, and the data lies in a well-understood linear subspace. When the TRASE coils are imperfect, the contours will be non-orthogonal and/or curved. The author shows that in the imperfect case, the data lies in an alternative subspace relative to non-Cartesian coordinates. Using these natural image space coordinates, a direct image reconstruction transform may be defined. The algorithm is illustrated by reconstructions from simulated data with imperfect coils.
