Segmentation of Ischemic Lesion from Diffusion Weighted MRI and MR Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Maps
The utility of diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) in the assessment of acute ischemic stroke is now becoming well-established. The quantitative evaluation of the lesion is however problematic because of the lower resolution of clinical images in the context of extreme emergency. We have developed a new segmentation technique to extract the ischemic areas from standard, clinical DWI image volumes. Tho...
متن کاملApparent 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 کاملExploring the Possibility of Estimating Degree of Glioma Tumors by Measuring Apparent Diffusion Coefficient
Introduction: Most common glioma tumors are tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) which are the cause of about 40 to 50 percent of brain tumors. This type of cancer includes 2 to 3 percent of cancers in the world. Conventional MRI is powerless in the detection and differentiation of benign and malignant tumors. In this case, diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can create cont...
متن کاملThe trouble with apparent diffusion coefficient papers
This issue of Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences includes a study (Rundle-Thiele et al.) that investigates the correlation between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based estimates of water mobility in glioblastoma tumours and expression of the prognostically important gene promoter methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT). The authors address previous inconsistent reports regarding a correlati...
