T2-Weighted Liver MRI Using the MultiVane Technique at 3T: Comparison with Conventional T2-Weighted MRI
OBJECTIVE To assess the value of applying MultiVane to liver T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) compared with conventional T2WIs with emphasis on detection of focal liver lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-eight patients (43 men and 35 women) with 86 hepatic lesions and 20 pancreatico-biliary diseases underwent MRI including T2WIs acquired using breath-hold (BH), respiratory-triggered (RT), and M...
متن کاملVenocentric Lesions: An MRI Marker of MS?
From the earliest descriptions of multiple sclerosis (MS), the venocentric characteristic of plaques was noted. Recently, numerous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have proposed this finding as a prospective biomarker for MS, which might aid in differentiating MS from other diseases with similar MRI findings. High-field MRI studies have shown that penetrating veins can be detected in mo...
متن کاملDiffusion-Weighted (DW) Imaging in Ovarian Cystic Lesions: Value of DW Imaging Compared to T2-weighted Imaging at 3T MRI
Purpose : Only a few studies on diffusion weighted (DW) imaging of ovarian lesions have been reported (1-3). In previous studies, the role of DW imaging in distinguishing between benign and malignant cystic tumors may be limited. Katayama et al (3) reported that apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values may not provide additional information, especially to discriminate benign from malignant l...
متن کاملT2*-weighted MRI technique for visualization of RF ablation lesions
Background LGE-MRI is widely used to assess cardiac RF ablation lesions. However, LGE-MRI requires contrast injection and the appearance, dimensions and visibility of lesions in LGE-MRI noticeably change with time after ablation and time after contrast injection. Recently proposed non-contrast T1-weighted (T1w) technique is only applicable to visualize acute (< 3 days) RF lesions. The main goal...
متن کاملA comparison of 3T and 7T in the detection of small parenchymal veins within MS lesions.
OBJECTIVE Histologic examination of multiple sclerosis (MS) brain lesions reveals heterogeneity including the presence or absence of a central blood vessel. Recent work has shown that T2* weighted magnetic resonance imaging at 7T allows the identification of small parenchymal veins within MS lesions. The aims of this study were (1) to compare whether a comparable sequence at 3T was also capable...
