Research from K.D. Merboldt and Co-Authors Reveals New Findings on Magnetic Resonance Imaging

2012 MAR 2 -- Fresh data on Magnetic Resonance Imaging are presented in the report "Spatially encoded phase-contrast MRI-3D MRI movies of 1D and 2D structures at millisecond resolution." According to the authors of a study from Gottingen, Germany, "This work demonstrates that the principles underlying phase-contrast MRI may be used to encode spatial rather than flow information along a perpendicular dimension, if this dimension contains an MRI-visible object at only one spatial location. In particular, the situation applies to 3D mapping of curved 2D structures which requires only two projection images with different spatial phase-encoding gradients."
