Abstract
Purpose: To demonstrate a real-time MRI (rtMRI) sequence that can image multiple slices simultaneously and apply them to image the dynamics of the oral cavity. Specifically, we demonstrate the imaging of tongue movement, speech, and swallowing.
Methods: We developed a radial rtMRI sequence with multiband excitation. Two sampling schemes were explored: a golden-angle trajectory and a golden-angle trajectory adapted for simultaneous multislice acceleration. Additionally, we developed a compressed sensing reconstruction pipeline. Phantom and in vivo rtMRI data were acquired on a 3 T system using a standard head/neck coil.
Results: We show that the proposed technique can acquire rtMRI videos at a range of temporal resolutions (up to 25 ms). Example applications of tongue movement, speech, and swallowing are shown. Additionally, we show that the sequence is robust to changes in slice distance and coil compression level.
Conclusion: Combining rtMRI with multiband excitation and compressed sensing reconstruction enables imaging of the oral cavity at high (up to 25 ms) temporal resolution.
期刊介绍:
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (Magn Reson Med) is an international journal devoted to the publication of original investigations concerned with all aspects of the development and use of nuclear magnetic resonance and electron paramagnetic resonance techniques for medical applications. Reports of original investigations in the areas of mathematics, computing, engineering, physics, biophysics, chemistry, biochemistry, and physiology directly relevant to magnetic resonance will be accepted, as well as methodology-oriented clinical studies.
