Workflow from Scientific Research

The overall acquisition strategy. Cardiac triggering synchronizes the labeling with the cardiac cycle. After labeling, the same slice is imaged dynamically to capture the inflow of fresh blood over increasing mixing times ( {t}_{mix_{1}},{t}_{mix_{2}},{t}_{mix_{3}},ldots ). This process is repeated with incrementing displacement encodings ( s 1 , s 2, s N ), and the information from all encodings is combined to obtain dynamic perfusion source maps via a Fourier transform. The number of repetitions, N , depends on the desired resolution and FOV of the source maps.
