contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in sacroiliitis
conclusion fs t2 w and ce fs t1 w sequences of axial planes were the most useful sequences in determination of active sacroiliitis. therefore, in patients with renal failure or allergy to contrast media, fs t2 wi can be obtained to detect active sacroiliitis. objectives the aim of this retrospective study was to assess the value of different magnetic resonance imaging (mri) sequences in evaluat...
متن کاملAverage arterial input function for quantitative dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of neck nodal metastases
BACKGROUND The present study determines the feasibility of generating an average arterial input function (Avg-AIF) from a limited population of patients with neck nodal metastases to be used for pharmacokinetic modeling of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) data in clinical trials of larger populations. METHODS Twenty patients (mean age 50 years [range 27-77 years]) with neck nodal metas...
متن کاملToward local arterial input functions in dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI.
PURPOSE To present a method for estimating the local arterial input function (AIF) within a dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI scan, based on the alternating minimization with model (AMM) method. MATERIALS AND METHODS This method clusters a subset of data into representative curves, which are then input to the AMM algorithm to return a parameterized AIF and pharmacokinetic parameters. Computer sim...
متن کاملContrast agents in dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging
Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is a noninvasive method to assess angiogenesis, which is widely used in clinical applications including diagnosis, monitoring therapy response and prognosis estimation in cancer patients. Contrast agents play a crucial role in DCE-MRI and should be carefully selected in order to improve accuracy in DCE-MRI examination. Over the past...
