  • Publication number: 20230333185
    Abstract: Exemplary systems, methods and computer-accessible medium according to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure can separate fat and water in magnetic resonance imaging using frequency sweep radiofrequency saturation pulses. In an exemplary procedure, periodic RF saturation pulses with varying frequency offset from a water resonance frequency with at least two different offsets are emanated. In another exemplary procedure, the signal response to saturation at different frequencies on a voxel-by-voxel basis can be analyzed.

  • Publication number: 20230044359
    Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging according to the present invention includes T1, T2, or diffusion mapping with improved image resolution. The improved image resolution is achieved by leveraging the delay in the image acquisition to remove the partial volume effect of fluid in and around the tissue being imaged.
