We show how you can separate these interfering images to measure T2* decay curves, with each readout measuring all images at once.

Here’s an interactive notebook showing how this works: github.com/petelally/np...

And some 3T phantom data with scripts: github.com/petelally/np...

SSFP imaging is super-efficient, but there are banding ‘artifacts’ which interfere with features of the anatomy we’re interested in.

But…

These ‘artifacts’ are just the constructive and destructive interference of lots of different images with different contrasts!
Image showing a brain obscured with horizontal stripes ('banding artifacts'), its representation in k-space, and the constituent images that interfere to form the stripes. The images have a range of T2* weightings.

A brain tumor led #OurImperial Dr Greg Scott to switch from computer science to neurology 🧠

Now he’s taking a computational approach to detecting delirium – affecting 1 in 5 people in hospital today.

Dr Scott spoke to The Observer @theguardian.com ⬇️
