MR-only simulations provide pseudo-CT images which are segmented into 5 kinds of tissues from DIXON-based images. However, it is difficult to register pseudo-CT images to cone-beam CT (CBCT) images collected for image-guided radiation therapy (IGR...

PURPOSE: We developed a non-regularized, variable kernel, sophisticated harmonic artifact reduction for phase data (NR-VSHARP) method to accurately estimate local tissue fields without regularization for quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM). ...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of susceptibility estimated from the principles of echo shifting with a train of observations (PRESTO) sequence using a 1.5T MRI system, we conducted experiments on the human brain using the PRESTO sequence and co...

We devised a new noise filtering method to reduce the noise in the line spread function (LSF) for presampled modulation transfer function (MTF) analysis with the edge method. A filter was designed to reduce noise effectively using a position-depen...
