7T clinical cardiovascular MR imaging: initial experience
Background Recently, high-field 7T MR imaging was introduced. The higher field-strength has potential advantages, mainly related to increased signal-to-noise-ratio. One of the potentially exciting applications may be cardiovascular MR imaging. Cardiovascular MRI requires robust correction for heart motion, breathing motion and correction of field inhomogeneities. Therefore, cardiovascular imagi...
متن کاملInitial experience with BOLD imaging of the kidneys at 7T
MOTIVATION Functional renal imaging is an area of growing interest [1]. BOLD imaging of the kidneys is one of the functional techniques explored. This technique has the potential to study changes in blood flow and oxygenation in the hypoxic renal medulla. Depending on the amount of hypoxia in the medulla, the BOLD contrast between renal cortex and medulla changes. This change in contrast can be...
متن کاملVisualization of human inner ear anatomy with high-resolution MR imaging at 7T: initial clinical assessment.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In many centers, MR imaging of the inner ear and auditory pathway performed on 1.5T or 3T systems is part of the preoperative work-up of cochlear implants. We investigated the applicability of clinical inner ear MR imaging at 7T and compared the visibility of inner ear structures and nerves within the internal auditory canal with images acquired at 3T. MATERIALS AND MET...
متن کاملPET/MR imaging of atherosclerosis: initial experience and outlook.
Hybrid scanners such as PET/CT have in the past emerged as a valuable modality in clinical routine as well as an important research tool. Recently, the newly developed fully integrated PET/MR scanners were introduced to the market, raising high expectations especially due to the excellent soft tissue contrast and functional imaging capabilities of MRI. In this issue of the American Journal of N...
متن کاملComplications of total hip arthroplasty: MR imaging-initial experience.
PURPOSE To investigate the use of standard magnetic resonance (MR) imaging sequences with simple parameter modifications for the detection and characterization of total hip arthroplasty (THA) complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS An initial phantom study was performed with cobalt-chrome and titanium prostheses to establish the imaging parameters for a subsequent clinical study. In the clinical...
