  • Method for enhancing the ihMT sensitivity of steady-state gradient echo acquisitions in an MRI system
    Patent number: 10816628
    Abstract: A method for producing an MRI image includes the steps of acquiring lines of a volume under analysis using a steady-state gradient echo sequence in successive repetition times (TR); and applying an inhomogeneous magnetization transfer (ihMT) pre-saturation module (TMT) in each repetition time. The duration of the repetition times is greater than 20 milliseconds.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 23, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 27, 2020
    Assignees: UNIVERSITE D'AIX-MARSEILLE, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE
    Inventors: Olivier Maciej Girard, Guillaume Didier David Duhamel, Samira Mchinda, Valentin Hugo Jonas Prevost
