Combined effects of magnetization transfer and gadolinium in cranial MR imaging and MR angiography.
Magnetization transfer (MT) imaging is an MR technique in which image contrast is altered by applying RF pulses that saturate a restricted pool of hydrogen protons associated with cell membranes, proteins, and other macromolecules. Protons in this restricted pool, unlike those in tissue-free water, are not visible on MR due to their short T2 relaxation times. However, these restricted protons m...
متن کاملMagnetization transfer MR of the normal adult brain.
PURPOSE To establish a normal baseline of the percent magnetization transfer of gray (cortical and deep) and white matter structures in the brain in healthy adults and to determine whether there are adult age-related differences in these measurements. METHODS Axial T1-weighted scans (800/20 [repetition time/echo time]) with and without magnetization transfer were prospectively performed on a ...
متن کاملIntracranial stenoocclusive disease: MR angiography with magnetization transfer and variable flip angle.
PURPOSE To assess time-of-flight MR angiography that uses magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) pulses, tilted optimized nonsaturating excitation (TONE), and a 256 x 512 image matrix for the detection of small intracranial arteries and for the detection and quantification of intracranial arterial stenoocclusive disease. METHODS To assess anatomic sensitivity, six interpreters, in a blinded fa...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced magnetization transfer saturation imaging improves MR detection of herpes simplex encephalitis.
Cranial MR imaging was performed in three patients in whom herpes simplex encephalitis was subsequently proved. In all cases, the postcontrast T1 weighted MR images obtained with magnetization transfer saturation showed greater central nervous system involvement than was apparent on the conventional MR images. Specifically, the postcontrast magnetization transfer images were superior at delinea...
متن کاملMagnetization transfer MR imaging in CNS tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CNS tuberculosis may simulate other granulomas and meningitis on MR images. The purpose of this study was to improve the characterization of lesions in CNS tuberculosis and to assess the disease load using magnetization transfer (MT) imaging. METHODS A total of 107 tuberculomas in seven patients with or without meningitis and 15 patients with tuberculosis meningitis alo...
