Synthetic contrast: technical aspect and recent advancement
Fuyixue Wang
Keywords: Image acquisition: Multiparametric, Image acquisition: Image processing, Image acquisition: Fast imaging Synthetic images with flexibly adjustable contrasts can be generated from quantitative multi-parametric MRI. With the advancement of fast multi-parametric imaging, synthetic imaging provides a more efficient MR exam paradigm to obtain clinically useful contrasts. This talk will cover the technical aspect of synthetic imaging. It will present the i) basics of contrast synthesis; 2) fast quantitative multi-parametric acquisition and their recent advancement, including multidynamic multiecho (MDME), MR Fingerprinting (MRF), MR Multitasking, and Echo-Planar Time-resolved Imaging (EPTI); and 3) recent advancement of imaging synthesis methods including machine learning based approaches. We will also discuss the future directions of synthetic imaging. |

Advanced synthetic contrasts - brain
Bruno Madore
Keywords: Image acquisition: Quantification Exams that are shorter in time and more quantitative in nature may represent the future of MRI. If physical parameters such as T1 and T2 can be rapidly quantified, then one can just calculate (rather than acquire) the desired images. New or cutting-edge quantitative and synthetic imaging methods often tend to be first developed for neuroimaging, because brain imaging represents such an important share of clinical MRI and because motion problems tend to be somewhat manageable when imaging the head. This talk aims to present an up-to-date description of the synthetic and quantitative imaging field, along with current associated challenges. |
