PERANAN TEKNIK PARALLEL IMAGING (SENSE)PADA SEKUEN 3D TIME OF FLIGHT (TOF) MRA BRAIN

THE ROLE OF PARALLEL IMAGING TECHNIQUES (SENSE) ON SEQUENCE 3D FLIGHT TIME (TOF) MRA BRAINDessy Leonni Anggreani1), Ruly Dwi Utami2), Dartini3)ABSTRACTMagnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) is a sophisticated modality that can create a different vascular system or blood vessels. Currently, the MRA technique most commonly used in the brain is 3D TOF MRA for images of intracranial arteries without the use of contrast media that requires a considerable scanning time. The research aims to determine the role Of the Parallel Imaging (SENSE) technique in the MRA Brain's 3D Time Of Flight (TOF) sequence.This type of research is descriptive with a study of literature review on the role Of the technique of parallel imaging (SENSE) on the 3D Time Of Flight (TOF) sequence Of MRA Brain. The data collection method used in this writing is the documentation method. The data used in this study is secondary data. The main source of this research is the 3 journals that researchers found discussing the technique of parallel imaging (SENSE) on the 3D Time Of Flight (TOF) sequence Of MRA Brain. Data processing is done by creating descriptions, summary journals and critical evaluation. The data analysis used in this study is the analysis of bibliographic annotations.The results obtained are the use of the parallel imaging technique (SENSE) can be applied to all sequences, especially for the MRA brain examination, the use of parallel imaging techniques in the 3D Time Of Flight (TOF) sequence MRA Brain is recommended for imaging the intracranial arteries. The use of the parallel imaging technique (SENSE) is carried out without changing the parameters of the conventional 3D TOF technique, only the addition of the Accelerating factor (R-factor) parameter. The R-factor used is 2.5.Keywords: 3D Time Of Flight (TOF), Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) Brain, Parallel Imaging (SENSE)Description:1) Student of Radiology Engineering Departement of Health Polytechnic of Ministry of Health Semarang2)Radiologist Tugurejo Hospital3) Lecturers of Radiology Engineering Departement of Health Polytechnic of Ministry of Health Semaran
