2D CSI

2D CSI

Example for spectral quality in the head, deriving from a 2D CSI measurement

Integrated software package with sequences and protocols for 2D Chemical Shift Imaging (CSI).
Extension of the SVS package, offering the same level of user-friendliness and automation.

Features & Benefits

Features

Matrix Spectroscopy – phase-coherent signal combination from several coil elements for maximum SNR with configurable prescan-based normalization for optimal homogeneity
2D Chemical Shift Imaging
Hybrid CSI with combined VoIume selection and Field of View (FoV) encoding
Short TEs available (30 ms for SE, 20 ms for STEAM)
Automized shimming of the higher order shimming channels for optimal
Homogeneity of the larger CSI volumes
Weighted acquisition, leading to a reduced Examination time compared to full k-space coverage while keeping SNR and spatial resolution
Outer Volume Suppression
Spectral Suppression
Protocols for head spectroscopy
