title: J-based Magnetic Resonance Conductivity Tensor Imaging (MRCTI) at 3 T.
abstract: In this study, current density (J) - based Magnetic Resonance Conductivity Tensor Imaging (MRCTI) reconstruction algorithms namely, the Anisotropic Equipotential Projection (AEPP), the Anisotropic J-Substitution (AJS) and the Anisotropic Hybrid J-Substitution (AHJS) algorithms are implemented to reconstruct conductivity tensor images of a physical phantom using a 3T magnetic resonance imaging system. 10mA current pulses are injected in synchrony with a conventional spin-echo pulse sequence. Furthermore, a new J-based hybrid algorithm namely, the Anisotropic Hybrid Equipotential Projection (AHEPP) is proposed. In addition, reconstruction performances of the four algorithms are evaluated.
