3t ge scanner

Manufactured by GE Healthcare
Sourced in United States

The 3T GE scanner is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system designed for clinical use. It operates at a field strength of 3 Tesla, providing high-quality images for diagnostic purposes. The core function of the 3T GE scanner is to generate detailed and accurate representations of the body's internal structures through the use of strong magnetic fields and radio waves.

Resting-State fMRI Acquisition and Preprocessing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Resting-state fMRI scans were collected on a GE3-T scanner. Five-minute resting-state functional scans (150 whole-brain volumes) were acquired for each study participant. During the scan, participants were asked to close their eyes and were instructed not to think of anything in particular. The acquisition parameters and preprocessing methods are described in the data supplement; notably, strict attention was paid to potential motion artifacts according to the methods described by Power et al. (23 (link)).

As a final test, the FET based Q-spoiling circuits were tested on surface coils tuned to 127.7 MHz for use in a GE 3 T Scanner (GE Healthcare, Wakesha, Wisconsin, USA). This determined whether the parasitic off-capacitance of the GaN FETs degrade the performance of the coils relative to conventional Q-spoiling methods at higher fields. In addition, the larger static magnetic field will double the EMF compared to 1.5 T for similar peak B1. A set of coils were constructed: a conventional PIN diode coil, and FET based coils with gate-controlled bias (25 W, 40 W, and 75 W) and identical coil dimensions (140 mm by 110 mm) as with the 1.5 T case. These coils were then tuned and matched to have similar loaded coil |S11| return loss.
The phantom used for the scans was doped with both Nickel Chloride and Sodium Chloride and had dimensions of 15.5 cm × 15.9 cm × 37.5 cm. The single loop coils were placed underneath the phantom for SNR comparisons. We performed a GRE sequence of 60° flip angle (TR=70 ms, TE=4.0 ms, BW=±15.63 kHz, FOV=24 cm × 24 cm) and a FSE sequence (TR=500 ms, TE=10 ms, BW=±15.63 kHz, FOV=24 cm × 24 cm, 4 echoes). With each of the scan experiments, we aimed to maximize consistency in the hardware receive gain settings and phantom position between the different coils of that experiment.

A GE 3T scanner (General Electric, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA) and a standard quadrature head coil was employed to acquire the MR images. Functional images covering the whole brain were acquired using a T2*-weighted gradient echo planar imaging sequence (repetition time, TR/echo time, TE = 4,000/40 ms; slice thickness = 4.5 mm; matrix = 128 × 128; FOV = 240 mm). Functional matching axial T1-weighted images (TR/TE = 600/8 ms; slice thickness = 4.5 mm) were acquired for anatomical coregistration purposes. Additionally, 3D T1-weighted SPGR (spoiled gradient recalled) sequences (TR/TE = 22/4 ms; slice thickness = 1.5 mm; matrix = 256 × 256) covering the entire brain were acquired.

MRI data were collected using a GE 3-T scanner (GE Medical Systems, WI, USA) in a dark room at Osaka University Hospital. Standard foam pads were placed in the scanner to stabilize patients’ heads. rsfMRI data were acquired with axial gradient-echo echo-planar imaging (voxel size = 3.3×3.3×3.2 mm, slice gap = 0.8 mm, matrix size = 64×64×40, TE = 30 ms, TR = 2.5 s, flip angle = 80°, 240 volumes). During the rsfMRI scans, patients were instructed to keep their eyes fixed on a black cross located at the center of the screen and keep their bodies as steady as possible, without any thoughts in their minds. Structural MRI data were obtained with a T1-weighted sagittal inversion-recovery spoiled-gradient-echo sequence (voxel size = 1.2×1×1 mm, matrix size = 200×256×256, TE = 3.2 ms, TR = 8.2 ms, inversion time = 400 ms). Both MRI scans were performed during the “on” state of each patient.

Structural and functional images for the unpublished study were collected on a whole-body GE 3T scanner at Mississippi State University. The scanning session began with the acquisition of structural images, which included scanner-specific localizers and volume anatomical series. The volume anatomical scan was acquired in a sagittal plane (1 mm3) using the GE SPGR sequence and the functional data were co-registered to these images. The functional runs were acquired as 28 axial slices using a T2*-weighted echo-planar imaging (EPI) pulse sequence (TE = 30 ms, TR = 2000 ms, FOV = 24 cm, slice thickness = 4 mm with no gap, flip angle = 76, in-plane resolution = 3.75 × 3.75 mm). A similar fMRI acquisition was done for the prior two published studies using a Siemens 3T Trio scanner at the University of Pittsburgh (for detailed scan parameters see Moss et al., 2011 (link), 2013 (link)).

MRI data were acquired with a 3T GE scanner (General Electric Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI) using an eight‐channel head coil in the PERFORM Centre of Concordia University. Functional MRI were acquired using a gradient‐echo echo‐planar imaging sequence (repetition time (TR) = 2,500 ms; TE = 26 ms; FA = 90°; 41 transverse slices; 4‐mm slice thickness with a 0% inter‐slice gap; FOV = 192 × 192 mm; voxel size = 4 × 4 × 4mm3; and matrix size = 64 × 64). High‐resolution T1‐weighted anatomical MR images were acquired using a 3D BRAVO sequence (TR = 7,908 ms; TI = 450 ms; TE = 3.06 ms; FA = 12°; 200 slices; voxel size = 1.0 × 1.0 × 1.0 mm, FOV = 256 × 256 mm). During all EEG–fMRI sessions, the helium compression pumps used for cooling down MR components were switched off to reduce MR environment related artefacts infiltrating the EEG signal (Mullinger, Brookes, Stevenson, Morgan, & Bowtell, 2008 (link); Rothlübbers et al., 2015 (link)). To minimize movement‐related artefacts during the scan, MRI‐compatible foam cushions were used to fix the participant's head in the MRI head coil (Mullinger & Bowtell, 2011 (link)).

Imaging measurements were acquired through a 3T GE scanner (GE, Milwaukee, WI, USA). All images were acquired using a standard quadrature head coil. The scanning session included anatomical and functional imaging. A 3D spoiled gradient echo (SPGR) sequence with high resolution (a slice thickness of 1 mm) was acquired for each person, in order to allow volumetric statistical analyses of the functional signal change and to facilitate later coordinate determinations. The functional T2* weighted images were acquired using gradient echo planar imaging pulse sequence (TR/TE/flip angle = 3000/35/90) with FOV of 200 × 200 mm2, and acquisition matrix dimensions of 96 × 96. Thirty-nine contiguous axial slices with 3.0 mm thickness and 0 mm gap were prescribed over the entire brain, resulting in a total of 159 volumes (6201 images).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
