3D CSI
Cho/Cr ratio metabolic map generated from 3D CSI measurement
/
Integrated multivoxel spectroscopy software package with sequences and protocols for 3D Chemical Shift Imaging (CSI)
Clinical Applications
- Prostate Spectroscopy for diagnosis
- Improved spatial localization of metabolic changes in biopsy or radiotherapy planning
Features & Benefits
Features
- Matrix Spectroscopy – phase-coherent signal combination from several coil elements for maximum SNR with configurable prescan-based normalization for optimal homogeneity
- 3D 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 prostate spectroscopy
