Apparent diffusion coefficient of normal adrenal glands*
OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility and reliability of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements of normal adrenal glands. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study involving 32 healthy subjects, divided into two groups: prepubertal (PreP, n = 12), aged from 2 months to 12.5 years (4 males; 8 females); and postpubertal (PostP, n = 20), aged from 11.9 to 61 years (5 males; 1...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficient normalization of normal liver
Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been reported to be a helpful biomarker for detection and characterization of lesion. In view of the importance of ADC measurement reproducibility, the aim of this study was to probe the variability of the healthy hepatic ADC values measured at 3 MR scanners from different vendors and with different field s...
متن کاملNormal brain and brain tumor: multicomponent apparent diffusion coefficient line scan imaging.
Magnetic resonance line scan diffusion imaging of the brain, with diffusion weighting between 5 and 5,000 sec/mm(2), was performed in healthy subjects and patients with a 1.5-T machine. For each voxel, biexponential signal decay fits produced two apparent diffusion constants and respective signal amplitudes. Images based on these parameters show potential for use in the differentiation of gray ...
متن کاملAge- and gender-related changes in the normal human brain using hybrid diffusion imaging (HYDI)
Diffusion tensor imaging has been widely used to study brain diseases, disorders, development, and aging. However, few studies have explored the effects of aging on diffusion imaging measures with higher b values. Further, the water diffusion in biological tissues appears biexponential, although this also has not been explored with aging. In this study, hybrid diffusion imaging (HYDI) was used ...
متن کاملSodium ion apparent diffusion coefficient in living rat brain.
The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of Na(+) was determined in live rat brain. The brain extracellular-to-intracellular Na(+) content ratio is approximately 8:2, which is the inverse of that for water in these spaces. Consequently, the ADC of Na(+) is primarily affected by motion in the extracellular space, and Na(+) can be viewed as a reporter molecule for motion in that space. Likewise, ...
