2 HST.583: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Data Acquisition and Analysis, Fall 2008 Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology Course Director: Dr. Randy Gollub. 2. T, T2 and T2* Measurements Background To calculate T values of the tissue we will be using an inversion recovery turbo spin echo sequence. We will be sampling the magnetization as a function of the inversion time (TI). The observed signal intensity is given by the following equation: S(t) [ 2exp( TI /T)] () To obtain the transverse relaxation time, T2, values in the brain a series of spin echo images will be acquired by stepping through a range of TEs. The image intensity is given by the following equation: S(t) exp( TE /T 2) (2) T2star (T2*) is the time constant that describes the decay of the transverse magnetization including local magnetic field inhomogeneities. T2* is an important relaxation time for functional studies because it is related to the amount of deoxygenated hemoglobin present in the brain. To determine the T2* values in gray, white matter and CSF, we will be using a gradient echo sequence and the signal is described by: S(t) exp( TE / T 2*) (3)

3 Experiments In this exercise we will acquire and evaluate human data in order to characterize T, T2 and T2* values in brain tissue compartments. Various sequences will be used with the imaging parameters manipulated so that they provide the appropriate contrast weightings. T measurements Acqusition: Total scan time: 5m 38sec A. Inversion Recovery Turbo Spin Echo (tse_ir) sequence with TR=3000ms, FOV=240x240, matrix=96x28, repeated for multiple inversion times TI=200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 000, 300, 500, 700, 2000, 2200 ms.. Load all the images on the viewer. 2. Draw ROIs in gray matter areas. 3. Record the mean signal values in Table for each inversion time and ROI. 4. Repeat steps -3 for regions of white matter and CSF. Lab Question 6 : Draw the measured signal as a function of inversion time for each of the tissue compartments. Calculate the T for gray, white matter and CSF by fitting Eq. () to your data. Hint: you will need to use a nonlinear fitting function such as nlinfit in matlab to accomplish this. T2 measurements Acqusition: Total scan time: 9m 42sec B. SE sequence with TR=4000ms, FOV=220x220, matrix=92x92, 8 echo times in a range between 4.3ms and 4.4ms and inter-echo spacing 4.3 ms. 5. Load all the images on the viewer. 6. Draw ROIs in gray matter areas. 7. Record the mean signal values in Table 2 for each echo time and ROI. 8. Repeat steps -3 for regions of white matter and CSF. Lab Question 7 : Draw the measured signal as a function of echo time for each of the tissue compartments. Calculate the T2 for gray, white matter and CSF by fitting Eq. (2) to your data. T2* measurements Acqusition: Total scan time: sec C. 2D FLASH sequence with TR=00msec, FOV=256x256, matrix=28x28, and multi contrast with echo times TE=6, 0, 5, 20, 30, 50, 70, 80 msec. 9. Load all the images on the viewer.

Lab Question 8 : Draw the measured signal as a function of echo time for each of the tissue compartments. Calculate the T2* of gray and white matter and CSF by fitting Eq. (3) to your data. Lab Question 9 : According to your measurements how do T2 and T2* compare for the same tissue compartment? Did you expect these findings? Explain why.

6 3. Distortion in EPI due to B0 Inhomogeneity Background The echo-planar image (EPI) is distorted due to local field gradients present in the head during imaging. Since the acquisition of k-space data is very asymmetric in EPI, with the readout direction points (kx) collected quickly and the phase encode steps (ky) relatively slowly, the distortion is essentially entirely in the y direction (phase encode direction). The relative distortion between the two directions can be estimated from the relative speed of the acquisition. In kx, at a typical readout BW (say 2.2kHz/pixel or 40kHz in frequency across the 64 pixel image), the dwell time (time between kx samples) is 7.μs. The ky sampling rate is slower because of the zig-zag trajectory, and is about 64 times slower. This gives a sampling spacing of 64 * 7.μs = 0.45ms. We call this.the "echospacing", (esp), of the sequence, the time between gradient echos (acquisition of the kx=0 point). The effective "bandwidth" in the phase encode direction is therefore across the esp image or /64*esp = 34.7Hz/pixel. Therefore a B0 shift which induces a 34.7Hz frequency shift will induce a shift in this region of pixel. The frequency shifts in the "bad susceptibility" regions of the brain are easily in the 00Hz range. Therefore, the principle metric of how distorted the EPI sequence will be is its effective echo-spacing. For conventional echo-planar imaging, this is basically limited by the gradient slew rate and amplitude. Using parallel acceleration such as SENSE or GRAPPA effectively decreases the esp by a factor of the acceleration factor, (i.e. 2 or 3 fold).

7 Experiments In this lab we will acquire images with different effective esp and compare the distortion in the brain. Acquisition : ) epi_esp730: voxel size = 3. x 3. x 3., Matrix size = 64x64, BW=502Hz/px, ESP=0.73ms, effective esp =0.73ms 2) epi_esp460: voxel size = 3. x 3. x 3., Matrix size = 64x64, BW=2520Hz/px, ESP=0.46ms, effective esp =0.46ms 3) epi_esp480_grappa: voxel size = 3. x 3. x 3., Matrix size = 64x64, BW=2520Hz/px, ESP=0.48ms, effective esp =0.46ms Lab Question 0: Estimate the distortion in frontal lobes by measuring distance on the scanner to some reference feature. Plot the distortion in mm as a function of effective esp.
