3806. METHOD
for CENTER FREQUENCY CALIBRATION USING STIR ON/OFF SPECTRA
A. Wheaton
Canon Medical Research USA, Mayfield Heights, United States
Impact: Accurate and consistent center frequency
calibration is critical for reliable image quality. The
proposed method is robust to a wide range of clinical
conditions and anatomies, including tissues with high
off-resonance (e.g. cervical spine) or high fat content
(e.g. breast).
