Response of porcine articular cartilage to irradiation by an ultrafast, burst-mode laser
(Optical Society of America, 2019)Plasma-mediated ablation by ultrafast pulses is generally considered to be a material-independent process. We show that, in certain circumstances, this assumption may be invalid. Physical processes involved and the impact ... -

Localizing the excitation to reduce scan time using nonlinear gradient fields
(ISMRM, 2012)elatively low SAR, but they cannot excite local regions and therefore causes long scan times. Although small volumes can be excited using multi-dimensional excitation pulses, such pulses are long and/or have relatively ... -
Decreasing SAR of a multi-dimensional central brightening inhomogeneity correction pulse using nonlinear gradient fields and VERSE
(ISMRM, 2012)To correct for B1 inhomogeneity artifacts, multi-dimensional pulses are widely used. However, such pulses increase SAR significantly. In this study, we compare, and combine two SAR reduction methods, the variable rate ...
