Deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) is a powerful new method to supplement the anatomical and functional information of MRI with a metabolic component. A reduction in overall scan time by interleaving MRI and DMI is clinically relevant, whereas research applications can benefit from complimentary information obtained through interleaved acquisition. Because most MR scanners only allow acquisition of one frequency, additional hardware is required to enable interleaved acquisition. Here we present hardware for the upconversion of 2H data into the 1H receive path and present a solution to achieve effective phase and frequency locking.
How to access this content:
For one year after publication, abstracts and videos are only open to registrants of this annual meeting. Registrants should use their existing login information. Non-registrant access can be purchased via the ISMRM E-Library.
After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.
After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
