1. MR elastography's short acquisition time also make it competitive with other elastography techniques. 2. Furthermore, the image acquisition time is extremely long, spanning into minutes and even hours. 3. The acquisition time is also reasonably fast, usually around minutes. 4. This strategy minimizes the requirements on acquisition time , data bandwidth, memory and processing power. 5. However, this can cause problems with queuing, affects registration and control channel acquisition times . 6. This is to reduce software acquisition time . 7. Typically in MRS a single spectrum is acquired by averaging enough spectra over a long acquisition time . 8. As with other arterial waveform systems, the short set-up and data acquisition times are benefits of this technology. 9. In the past, photomultipliers were the detectors of choice for dispersive Raman setups, which resulted in long acquisition times . 10. On the other hand, micro-fMRI is extremely expensive, and offers dismal resolution and image acquisition times when scanning the entire brain.
