Physics and Astronomy Seminar
Accelerated magnetic resonance imaging: RF coils, image acquisition strategies, and reconstruction algorithms
This condensed matter and nanophysics seminar is being presented by Dr. Luca Marinelli from the MRI Laboratory, GE Global Research Center.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a fundamentally signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) limited technique. Scan times are typically significantly longer than other diagnostic imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT). Over the years, a lot of effort has gone into developing hardware approaches to boost image SNR and image acquisition and reconstruction methodologies to reduce scan time. In this talk I will present a few examples of high-density multi-channel RF coils developed at GE Global Research over the years, discuss the physics of ultimate SNR for a magnetic resonance measurement, and present a few select acceleration techniques for MRI (parallel imaging and compressed sensing).
