Optimal control in a magnetization‐prepared rapid acquisition gradient‐echo sequence

Résumé

Abstract This article proposes a numerical framework to determine the optimal magnetization preparation in a three‐dimensional magnetization‐prepared rapid gradient‐echo (MP‐RAGE) sequence to obtain the best achievable contrast between target tissues based on differences in their relaxation times. The benefit lies in the adaptation of the algorithm of optimal control, GRAdient Ascent Pulse Engineering (GRAPE), to the optimization of magnetization preparation in a cyclic sequence without full recovery between each cycle. This numerical approach optimizes magnetization preparation of an arbitrary number of radio frequency pulses to enhance contrast, taking into account the establishment of a steady state in the longitudinal component of the magnetization. The optimal control preparation offers an optimized mixed contrast in this traditional ‐weighted sequence. To show the versatility of the proposed method, numerical and in vitro results are described. Examples of contrasts acquired on brain regions of a healthy volunteer are presented for potential applications at 3 T.
