Diffusion tensor imaging: Concepts and applications Tập 13 Số 4 - Trang 534-546 - 2001
Denis Le Bihan, Jean‐François Mangin, Cyril Poupon, Chris A. Clark, Sabina Pappatà, Nicolas Molko, Hugues Chabriat
AbstractThe success of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is deeply
rooted in the powerful concept that during their random, diffusion‐driven
displacements molecules probe tissue structure at a microscopic scale well
beyond the usual image resolution. As diffusion is truly a three‐dimensional
process, molecular mobility in tissues may be anisotropic, as in brain white
matter. With diffusio... hiện toàn bộ
4D flow MRI Tập 36 Số 5 - Trang 1015-1036 - 2012
Michael Markl, Alex Frydrychowicz, Sebastian Kozerke, Mike Hope, Oliver Wieben
AbstractTraditionally, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of flow using phase
contrast (PC) methods is accomplished using methods that resolve
single‐directional flow in two spatial dimensions (2D) of an individual slice.
More recently, three‐dimensional (3D) spatial encoding combined with
three‐directional velocity‐encoded phase contrast MRI (here termed 4D flow MRI)
has drawn increased attention. ... hiện toàn bộ
Osteoporosis is associated with increased marrow fat content and decreased marrow fat unsaturation: A proton MR spectroscopy study Tập 22 Số 2 - Trang 279-285 - 2005
David K.W. Yeung, James F. Griffith, Gregory E. Antonio, Francis K.H. Lee, Jean Woo, Ping‐Chung Leung
AbstractPurposeTo use proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H‐MRS) to
evaluate vertebral marrow fat, and to determine whether bone density correlates
with fat content and fat unsaturation levels in postmenopausal women.Materials
and MethodsFifty‐three women (mean age = 70 years) underwent dual energy x‐ray
absorptiometry and 1H‐MRS, and 12 young female controls (mean age = 28 years)
underwent 1... hiện toàn bộ
Encoding strategies for three‐direction phase‐contrast MR imaging of flow Tập 1 Số 4 - Trang 405-413 - 1991
Norbert J. Pelc, Matt A. Bernstein, Ann Shimakawa, Gary H. Glover
AbstractThree encoding strategies for the measurement of flow velocities in
arbitrary directions with phase‐contrast magnetic resonance imaging are
presented; their noise and dynamic range performance are compared by means of
theoretical analysis and computer simulation. A six‐point measurement strategy
is shown to be quite inefficient in terms of velocity variance per unit time. A
simple four‐poi... hiện toàn bộ
Nephrotoxicity of high‐dose gadolinium compared with iodinated contrast Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 162-166 - 1996
Martin R. Prince, Christina Arnoldus, Joan K. Frisoli
AbstractTo determine if high‐dose gadolinium chelates are less nephrotoxic than
iodinated contrast. Records of 342 patients who had received high‐dose
gadolinium (.2 to .4 mmol/kg) for magnetic resonance imaging were reviewed to
identify patients who had also received iodinated contrast for radiographic
examinations. Their clinical course and laboratory data were reviewed to
identify changes in se... hiện toàn bộ
Proton MR spectroscopy in quantitative in vivo determination of fat content in human liver steatosis Tập 5 Số 3 - Trang 281-285 - 1995
Renata Longo, Piero Pollesello, Claudio Ricci, Flora Masutti, Bjarne J. Kvam, Luisa Bercich, Lory Saveria Crocè, Piergiovanni Grigolato, Sergio Paoletti, B. de Bernard, Claudio Tiribelli, L. Dalla Palma
AbstractTo demonstrate that the lipid volume fraction In liver steatosis can be
accurately estimated with in vivo hydrogen‐1 magnetic resonance (MR)
spectroscopy, the authors developed a calibration procedure based on in vitro MR
spectroscopy of lipid extracts from steatotlc liver specimens. The lipid volume
fractions determined with the calibration procedure were compared with the
results of hist... hiện toàn bộ

Semiautomated method for noise reduction and background phase error correction in MR phase velocity data Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 521-530 - 1993
Peter G. Walker, G. Cranney, Markus B. Scheidegger, Gena Waseleski, Gerald M. Pohost, Ajit P. Yoganathan
AbstractBackground phase distortion and random noise can adversely affect the
quality of magnetic resonance (MR) phase velocity measurements. A semiauto‐mated
method has been developed that substantially reduces both effects. To remove the
background phase distortion, the following steps were taken: The time standard
deviations of the phase velocity images over a cardiac cycle were calculated.

Report on a multicenter fMRI quality assurance protocol Tập 23 Số 6 - Trang 827-839 - 2006
Lee Friedman, Gary H. Glover
AbstractTemporal stability during an fMRI acquisition is very important because
the blood oxygen level‐dependent (BOLD) effects of interest are only a few
percent in magnitude. Also, studies involving the collection of groups of
subjects over time require stable scanner performance over days, weeks, months,
and even years. We describe a protocol designed by one of the authors that has
been tested ... hiện toàn bộ
