Breast tissue differentiation using arterial spin tagging.
An arterial spin tagging (AST) pulse sequence has been developed to measure T(1) and relative blood perfusion. This full sequence is composed of three sequences: selective tagging, nonselective tagging, and nontagging. Perfusion quantification error resulting from imperfect inversion and acquisition slice profiles has been addressed in the literature. In this work, the error is reduced through ...
متن کاملVessel-encoded arterial spin-labeling using pseudocontinuous tagging.
A new signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) efficient method is introduced for the mapping of vascular territories based on pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling (ASL). A pseudocontinuous tagging pulse train is modified using additional transverse gradient pulses and phase cycling to place some arteries in a tag condition, while others passing through the same tagging plane are in a control condition. ...
متن کاملBreast Perfusion Imaging Using Arterial Spin Labeling
Delay 2 s Fig. 1. ASL experiment from a volunteer at 1.5T. (a) The imaging slice and labeling slab are depicted by yellow and blue boxes. (b) Fat-saturated SPGR image. Perfusion images are shown in (c-e) for delay times of 1 s, 1.5 s and 2 s. Arteries located close to the skin are depicted well; however, perfusion in glandular tissue is hardly visible. The yellow arrow shows an artery which doe...
متن کاملTumour segmentation in breast tissue microarray images using spin-context
A method for automatic segmentation of tumour regions in breast histopathology images is described. It uses auto-context to label pixels based on local image features and contextual label probabilities. We propose spin-context to compute context features that are invariant under image rotation. Quantitative evaluation is reported using spots stained for estrogen receptor. The use of context res...
متن کاملCorrection for vascular artifacts in cerebral blood flow values measured by using arterial spin tagging techniques.
"Vascular" artifacts can have substantial effects on human cerebral blood flow values calculated by using arterial spin tagging approaches. One vascular artifact arises from the contribution of "tagged" arterial water spins to the observed change in brain water MR signal. This artifact can be reduced if large bipolar gradients are used to "crush" the MR signal from moving arterial water spins. ...
