Multiband

Sequence-parameters

  • Shimming
    • Shimbox: inside brain? Is bottomline shimbox wrt OFC / air transition most important?
    • What is a good shim?LINEWIDTH checken voor scannen? Log values
    • Acquire extra B0-scan as check to avoid large B0-gradient?
    • Use Maarten's patch for image based shimming: this patch applies shim to B0-prescan
  • TR:
    • for physiological noise correction, aim for 750ms
    • minimal TR: to be adjusted on-scanner (not realistic in VM)
  • Gradient mode: Set to Enhanced if duty cycle is limiting factor (enormous difference on AMC-wide bore scanner)
  • Water Fat Shift: minimal. Increase to reduce TR
  • TE hoeft niet in phase: niet belangrijk voor vet want signaal is al dispersed met deze TE. TE~32.23, 27 is te kort.
  • Geen slice gap (maar waarom?)
  • Acquired/Reconstructed Matrix size should match
  • Multiband factor * SENSE ~= 6
  • Half scan: no. Unless minimal TR deviates more than 10% from shortest. But: see Gradient mode
  • Dynamic Stabilization: regular (niet enhanced, kost teveel tijd)
  • Offc/Ang: free rotatable Yes
  • PNS moderate
  • Flip angle --> Ernst angle
  • Planning: stevig anguleren. Read-out richting omdraaien AP-->PA?

Data-export

  • enhanced dicom does not work for >16k images
  • export nifti
  • export PAR/REC or XML/REC to store sequence parameters
