Abstract
A 3D
wavelet based encoding spectroscopic method (WE-SI) is investigated and implemented
on a 3 Tesla Siemens Scanner. Compared to CSI, the proposed method is able to reduce
acquisition time, and preserves the spatial metabolite distribution. As expected, a
decrease in Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is noticed in WE-SI data compared to CSI. The
dissertation explores important physical principles in MRI and spectroscopic imaging as a
background, following by introduction of the wavelet encoding theory and comparison to
Fourier encoding.
