Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong. ====== Susceptibility artifact ====== The magnetic field distortions created by [[susceptibility]] effects result in variations in precessional frequency across the patient and even within individual voxels. These frequency changes, in turn, produce signal loss from T2*-dephasing and spatial mismapping of the MR signal. The MR imaging characteristics reflect both of these physical mechanisms: geometric distortion with focal areas of signal void and regions of very bright signal resulting from "piling up" signal assigned to the wrong areas. susceptibility_artifact.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:59by 127.0.0.1
