Breath-Hold Abdominal and Thoracic Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy at 3T
R. Katz-Brull, N. M. Rofsky, R. E. Lenkinski Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA, United States Synopsis This work demonstrates the feasibility of in vivo breath-hold body H-MRS on a 3T scanner equipped with a torso multicoil array. Frame-to-frame phase and frequency shifts and voxel contamination (associated with respiratory motion) were eliminated or markedly reduced using breath...
متن کاملQuantitative Proton Single-Voxel MR Spectroscopy in Malignant Breast Tumors at 3T: a Preliminary Study
Figure 1 shows the MR and MRS measurement of a patient with invasive ductal carcinoma. A: On pre-contrast images one lesion showed very dark intensity signal with irregular shape in a centered sagittal slice. The spectroscopic voxel (size, 1.6 × 1.6 × 1.6 cm) is superimposed on the hypointense lesion in the pre-contrast sagittal image. B: The MR spectrum was measured from the selected lesion. T...
متن کاملAbsolute Quantification of Human Brain Metabolites in Gulf War Syndrome Using Proton MR Spectroscopy at 3T
Introduction Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) is an illness reported by combat veterans of the 1991 Persian Gulf War typified by wide-ranging symptoms including chronic fatigue, loss of muscle control, headaches, dizziness and loss of balance, memory problems, muscle and joint pain, indigestion, skin problems, shortness of breath, and insulin resistance. Three distinct GW syndromes have been identified:...
متن کاملProton spectroscopy and imaging at 3T in ataxia-telangiectasia.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is an autosomal recessive disorder with characteristic neurodegeneration of the cerebellum. We used MR spectroscopy to test the hypothesis that cerebellar metabolism in A-T patients would be abnormal relative to healthy controls. METHODS Twelve adults with A-T and 12 healthy control subjects underwent MR imaging and long-echo time (1)H-MR spe...
متن کاملProton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in focal cortical dysplasia at 3T
PURPOSE Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) type II is a frequent cause of medically intractable epilepsy. On conventional MRI diagnosis may be difficult. The purpose of our study was to assess the metabolic characteristics of MRI-typical or neuropathologically confirmed FCD II lesions at 3T. METHODS In a prospective study, 13 patients with drug-resistant epilepsy and MRI diagnosis of FCD II (seve...
