Average 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 کاملcontrast 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 کاملComparison of arterial input function measured from dual-bolus and dual-sequence dynamic contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
Methods Both the dual-sequence CMR perfusion technique [1] and the dual-bolus protocol [2] were performed in five canines and 35 clinical subjects using a 1.5 Tesla scanner. Gd-DTPA at 0.005 mmol/kg and 0.05 mmol/kg were administered during separate breath holds. Typical imaging parameters: 1 RR, 90° saturation pulse, 50°read out angle, saturation recovery 90 ms, TR 2.4 ms, TE 1.2 ms, matrix si...
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...
متن کاملdiagnostic accuracy of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in characterizing lung masses
background imaging plays a critical role not only in the detection, but also in the characterization of lung masses as benign or malignant. objectives to determine the diagnostic accuracy of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (mri) in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lung masses. patients and methods ninety-four masses were included in this prospective study. five dynamic seri...
