The quantitative comparison of doing eddy current correction before and after combination for 1H MRS using phased array coils with LCModel

Liu, Ju-feng 27 July 2010 (has links)
Phased array coils are composed of several surface coils receiving individual element signals simultaneously. Each individual surface coil provides the equivalent of the coil diameter range, and higher SNR. Therefore, combining these non-interactive phased array coils, can achieve a wide range of scan areas, uniform sensitivity and better SNR. Therefore our experiment was performed with two different coils of quadrature coil and phased array coil. Phased array MRS data were compared using various combination approaches. Data acquired by quadrature coil was regarded as a standard to verify the reliability and accuracy of metabolite concentration. The aim of our study is to do eddy current correction before and after the combination of each element coil data with LCModel analysis for quantitative comparison of metabolite concentrations. Our result shows that doing eddy current correction for each phased array coil before signal combination can achieve higher reliability and accuracy of SNR and quantitative concentrations of MR spectra in vivo.
