Phase
cycled bGRE images disentangled into configuration modes can be used to
generate alternative signal contrasts for delineation purposes while
simultaneously geometrical errors due to B0 inhomogeneity can be obtained.
Signal
intensity as a function of T1 and T2 for the sum of squares (SoS) bGRE signal
and configuration states M0, M1 and M-1. For
the configuration states a logarithmic scale is used, each isocontour represents
the same amplitude of signal change. Please note, that proton density and
receive sensitivity also modulate image signal intensity, and are not accounted
for in this analysis.
Phase
cycled bGRE scans of the male pelvis, shown as: sum of squares (SoS) bGRE
signal and first three configuration states M0, M1 and M-1.
