Germany use RADIUS encoding method successfully achieve real-time imaging of magnetic resonance

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a widely used diagnostic technology, using magnetic and acoustic work, check the process there is no damage to human health, safety and convenience.

But this technique also have limitations, one of these is the imaging time is longer, to get a clear image for diagnosis, "you must keep intact."

But also for the heart and joints, because in a very short time occur fast displacement than MRI imaging time thus solely on this technology cannot be clear and reliable image.

Even if the MRI and ECG together for testing, but also to different times of heartbeats data used for diagnosis.

In Germany Planck scientists recently published study (August 30, 2010), they successfully MRI imaging time shortened to five one-tenth of seconds, so the first time the heart and joints of MRI real-time dynamic imaging, moreover, this result can reach people directly observed a heartbeat of cardiac rhythm and blood flow to heart disease diagnosis provides more accurate data, and check the "patients without breath."

In order to achieve the purpose of rapid imaging, they use the RADIUS encoding method (radial encoding) to reduce the sensitivity of the image for displacement.

At the same time, established a new mathematical calculations, so that they can use much less than in the past, even if 5% of the amount of data, you can rebuild a reliable medical imaging. Because less data, making data collection time greatly reduced, therefore time than on Imaging of the mid-1980s 10000 times faster.

This technology can be easily applied in the current MRI device, but the new image reconstruction methods on your computer's performance requirements are also very high.

They are currently working with Siemens collaborative research with the aim of this result is applied as soon as possible.
