- GE 3T 2D EPSI Dual Band Variable Flip Angle 13C Dynamic Spectroscopy Recon, Quantification and Kinetic Modeling
Load a dynamic MRS animal data set acquired on a GE 3T scanner. This data was acquired with an EPSI sequence using a dual-band variable flip angle pulse scheme. You will reconstruct the data, combine the EPSI lobes, combine the coils and then correct for the dual-band and variable-flip pulse profiles using a Data Acquisition Description (DAD) file produced for the sequence. Then you will generate metabolite maps for pyruvate and lactate at each time point and also manually create an ROI mask of the animal. These results will be saved as DICOM images and used as input to a kinetic modeling program that will fit the observed dynamic signal changes to a 2-site exchange model within the ROI and generate 3D maps of Kpl and T1all.

- GE 3T 13C Dynamic Human Prostate Recon, Quantification and Kinetic Modeling
Load dynamic 13C GE MRS and MRI data, reconstruct and quantify metabolites at each time point and display time variation of metabolites. Use svk command line tools to fit metabolite concentrations vs time to a kinetic model of pyruvate to lactate conversion and display fitted parameter maps. Demonstrates customization of quantification ranges and export of DICOM data in the following formats: Secondary Capture, MRI (metabolite maps) and MR Spectroscopy data.
