Quick Overview Please note that there are different common names for this MRI artifact.
DESCRIPTION
Edge ringing, syrinx-like stripe
The Gibbs or ringing artifact appears as a series of lines in the MR image parallel to abrupt and intense changes in the object at this location. This artifact does not occur visibly on smooth objects. This artifact is caused by the Gibbs phenomenon, an overshoot or ringing of Fourier series occurring at discontinuities.
In the spinal cord, a small syrinx can be simulated by the Gibbs phenomenon. Gibbs artifacts are also seen in other regions, for example the brain//skull interface.
Fine lines visible in an image may be due to undersampling of the high spatial frequencies, respectively incomplete digitization of the echo.
With more encoding steps the Gibbs artifacts is less intense and narrower. Therefore, e.g. the artifact is more intense in the 256 point dimension of a 256x512 acquisition matrix.

With an open configuration MRI system neurosurgical procedures can be performed using image guidance. Open MRI can be used to guide interventional treatments or procedures, such as a biopsy.
Intraoperative MRI allows lesions to be precisely localized and targeted.
Constantly updated images, correlated with images obtained pre-operatively, help to eliminate errors that can arise during framed and frameless stereotactic surgery when anatomic structures alter their position due to shifting or displacement of, e.g. brain parenchyma. Intraoperative MRI can help with the identification of normal structures, such as blood vessels and is helpful in optimizing surgical approaches, achieving complete resection of intracerebral lesions, determining tumor margins and monitoring potential intraoperative complications. | | | | • View the DATABASE results for 'Intraoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging' (4).

(IR) Inversion recovery is an MRI technique, which can be incorporated into MR imaging, wherein the nuclear magnetization is inverted at a time on the order of T1 before the regular imaging pulse-gradient sequences. The resulting partial relaxation of the spins in the different structures being imaged can be used to produce an image that depends strongly on T1. This may bring out differences in the appearance of structures with different T1 relaxation times. Note that this does not directly produce an image of T1. T1 in a given region can be calculated from the change in the MR signal from the region due to the inversion pulse compared to the signal with no inversion pulse or an inversion pulse with a different inversion time. This sequence involves successive 180° and 90° pulses. The inversion recovery sequence is specified in terms of three parameters, inversion time (TI), repetition time (TR) and echo time (TE). See also Inversion Recovery Sequence and FLAIR. | | | | | | • View the DATABASE results for 'Inversion Recovery' (42).
