Official Title: Prospective Evaluation of a Free Induction Decay (FID) Navigator-Based Off-Resonance Correction Method (DORK) for Improving High-Resolution 3D Echo Planar (EPI) Susceptibility-Weighted (SWI) Brain MRI
Brief Summary:
This study aims to improve the quality of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans by testing a new imaging method that reduces distortions caused by breathing. During respiration, small movements of the chest and diaphragm can lead to subtle changes in the magnetic field within the head. These changes can introduce artifacts in certain MRI techniques, particularly susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), which is used to visualize veins, small hemorrhages, and iron deposits.The investigated method measures…
