Linear Response Equilibrium versus echo-planar encoding for fast high-spatial resolution 3D chemical shift imaging

Fischer, R F; Baltes, C; Weiss, K; Pazhenkottil, A; Rudin, M; Boesiger, P; Kozerke, S (2011). Linear Response Equilibrium versus echo-planar encoding for fast high-spatial resolution 3D chemical shift imaging. Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 211(1):80-88.

Abstract

In this work Linear Response Equilibrium (LRE) and Echo-planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) are compared in terms of sensitivity per unit time and power deposition. In addition an extended dual repetition time scheme to generate broad stopbands for improved inherent water suppression in LRE is presented. The feasibility of LRE and EPSI for assessing cholesterol esters in human carotid plaques with high spatial resolution of 1.95×1.15×1.15 mm(3) on a clinical 3T MR system is demonstrated. In simulations and phantom experiments it is shown that LRE has comparable but lower sensitivity per unit time relative to EPSI despite stronger signal generated. This relates to the lower sampling efficiency in LRE relative to EPSI as a result of limited gradient performance on clinical MR systems. At the same time, power deposition of LRE is significantly reduced compared to EPSI making it an interesting niche application for in vivo high field spectroscopic imaging of metabolites within a limited bandwidth.
