SUNRISE EDUCATIONAL COURSE

Image Reconstruction

Victoria Hall 07:00 – 08:00 Organizer & Moderator: Elfar Adalsteinsson

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this course participants should be able to:

• 
  Describe the main steps involved in efficient non-Cartesian image reconstruction;
  
• 
  Formulate a generalized signal model incorporating gradient encoding, coil sensitivity and Bo inhomogeneity;
  
• 
  List the pro’s and con’s of Cartesian and non-Cartesian parallel MRI;
  
• 
  Compare compressed sensing, HYPR, and k-t BLAST with respect to their use of prior knowledge;
  
• 
  Describe the principles of separating water and fat signals; and
  
• 
  Name three different approaches for motion correction and appraise their potential to become routine methods
