Assessment of therapeutic response in Crohn's disease using quantitative dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) parameters
The aim of the study was to investigate dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) as a potential marker to assess the therapeutic responses of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and to determine the parameter or combination of parameters most strongly associated with changes in clinical indicators after treatment.In 22 CD patients, DCE-MRI was performed w...
متن کاملIntegration of DCE-MRI and DW-MRI Quantitative Parameters for Breast Lesion Classification
OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of an imaging protocol combining dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) in patients with suspicious breast lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 31 breast lesions (15 malignant and 16 benign proved by histological examination) in 26 female patients were included in this study. For ...
متن کاملCorrelation of Prognostic Parameters and MR Perfusion Parameters in Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) in Patients with Breast Cancers
PURPOSE DCE-MRI allows noninvasive measurement of microvascular permeability and perfusion. We evaluated whether the perfusion parameters from DCE-MRI were correlated with prognostic parameters in breast cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty patients (mean 51; range 35-78 years) with 20 breast cancers (18 IDC, 1 DCIS, 1 invasive lobular carcinoma) underwent DCE-MRI with a 1.5 T machine ...
متن کاملImproving the accuracy and precision of DCE-MRI tracer kinetic modelling by imposing inter-variable constraints
INTRODUCTION Tracer kinetic modelling of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE-) MRI time series has proven to be a valuable tool for studying the microvascular characteristics of tumours and organs. Inherent to this task is the estimation of model parameters via nonlinear regression: this is typically approached as an optimisation problem in which the model’s parameters are varied such to minimise so...
متن کاملDynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI): From the Simplest to the Most Advanced DCE-Model
1. Tracer Kinetic Modeling • Extracellular agents (such as Gd-DTPA) accumulate in the interstitium of many tissues (e.g. muscle) but do not cross the healthy blood-brain-barrier. • Functional information may be obtained by treating Gd-DTPA as a tracer and following its kinetics (as opposed to the conventional ‘static’ approach, inject wait – image once). • After intravenous administration (norm...
