  • System, method and computer-accessible medium for accelerated, simultaneous quantitative and non-synthetic multi-contrast imaging
    Patent number: 11864863
    Abstract: An exemplary system, method, and computer-accessible medium for generating a particular image which can be a quantitative image(s) of at least one section(s) of a patient(s) or (ii) a non-synthetic contrast image(s) of the section(s) of the patient(s), can include, for example, generating a first magnetic resonance (MR) signal and detecting the first MR signal to patient(s), receiving a second MR signal from the patient(s) that can be based on the first MR signal, and generating the particular image(s) based on the second MR signal. The first MR signal can be a configured MR signal. The configured MR signal can be configured for a particular contrast. The first MR signal can have a constant signal intensity. The first MR signal can be generated based on a degree of a plurality of flip angles that maintains the constant signal intensity. A degree of flip angles can be selected for the first MR signal based on the particular contrast.

  • SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER-ACCESSIBLE MEDIUM FOR ACCELERATED, SIMULTANEOUS QUANTITATIVE AND NON-SYNTHETIC MULTI-CONTRAST IMAGING
    Publication number: 20220071490
    Abstract: An exemplary system, method, and computer-accessible medium for generating a particular image which can be a quantitative image(s) of at least one section(s) of a patient(s) or (ii) a non-synthetic contrast image(s) of the section(s) of the patient(s), can include, for example, generating a first magnetic resonance (MR) signal and directing the first MR signal to patient(s), receiving a second MR signal from the patient(s) that can be based on the first MR signal, and generating the particular image(s) based on the second MR signal. The first MR signal can be a configured MR signal. The configured MR signal can be configured for a particular contrast. The first MR signal can have a constant signal intensity. The first MR signal can be generated based on a degree of a plurality of flip angles that maintains the constant signal intensity.
