Radial Fast Spin-Echo (FSE) MRI Pulse Sequence
This invention is a software method that combines radial imaging (taking MRI data radially--from the center, out) with fast spin-echo (FSE) imaging to create faster, more accurate images.
This technology has been demonstrated to effectively image human brains, abdominal regions, and livers.
Background:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a very useful...
