Generalized MR interferography.

View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

Generalized MR interferography allows the measurement of parameters which affect the phase of the MR signal. Interference is generated by the simultaneous generation of two echoes in one excitation cycle. Local variations of the signal phase are transformed into displacement of the stripe pattern generated by interference. A number of possible experiments based on this principle are presented. The resulting interferographic images allow the fast determination of parameters such as field inhomogeneity, susceptibility, flow, and motion.

Two-way conversation with a mass spectrometer: nondestructive interactive mass spectrometry.

Most mass spectrometers employ destructive detection, so that it is necessary to repeat an experiment in order to vary even one parameter. In contrast, Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry offers nondestructive detection, so that ions remain available for further manipulation and redetection. Here, we show for the first time how to perform mass spectrometry interactively. Following each elementary experimental stage, such as ion generation, isolation, dissociation, or detection, the operator is free to choose and tailor the next stage without creating a fresh supply of ions. For example, we can test the effect of varying one parameter over several values without having to repeat the entire experimental event sequence each time, much like varying one letter or word in a sentence without having to rewrite the whole sentence. Such interactive control promises to speed development of complex experimental event sequences, as for optimizing the sequencing and structural analysis of tiny amounts (e.g., femtomoles or less) of biomacromolecules (peptides, nucleic acids, oligosaccharides).

A dual approach to linogram imaging for MRI.

An alternate scheme for linogram image reconstruction, which is more logical from the viewpoint of its applicability to MRI data, is presented here. As a result, an intermediate step for this method, the direct Fourier method (DFM) gives the same results as the earlier developed general reconstruction algorithm labeled as the linogram method (LM). However, the two differ in the pathways taken to the solution. As a result, an intermediate step for DFM corresponds directly with the geometry of linogram data collected for MRI, in contrast to the LM reconstruction. The two reconstruction methods are delineated within the context of MRI data reconstruction, and applied to reconstruct images from linogram spin-echo data of a physical phantom, obtained on a clinical 1.5 T scanner.
