متن کاملA cationic gadolinium contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging of cartilage.
A new cationic gadolinium contrast agent is reported for delayed gadolinium enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of cartilage (dGEMRIC). The agent partitions into the glycosaminoglycan rich matrix of articular cartilage, based on Donnan equilibrium theory, and its use enables imaging of the human cadaveric metacarpal phalangeal joint.
متن کاملAnalysis of diffusion kinetics of anionic and cationic iodinated contrast agents using in-vivo CT imaging of rabbit knee cartilage
INTRODUCTION: Contrast Enhanced CT imaging of articular cartilage (CECT) is predicated on the use of positively or negatively charged contrast agents that function as mobile ionic probes that partition themselves in direct or indirect proportion to the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content of the cartilage matrix according to Donnan equilibrium. Ex-vivo studies have shown that CECT imaging of cartila...
متن کاملSynthesized Gd2O3 nanoparticles as contrast agent
Introduction: Gd (III) ion has been known to be the best metal ion in the periodic table that can be used as a T1 MRI contrast agent. Gadolinium have 7 unpaired electrons and these electrons can make magnetic area. No other metal ions possess unpaired electron more than this. CAs based on the element Gd are classified as “positive”, by opposition to “negative” CAs. Nowadays, G...
متن کاملDelayed Contrast Enhanced MRI of Meniscus
INTRODUCTION Osteoarthritis (OA) is considered as a multisystemic disease and its origin and progression are believed to be attributable to disease in one or more tissues in the joint such as articular cartilage, sub-chondral bone, synovium, capsule and meniscus (Radiology 2008. 249:591-600). Meniscus is a crucial load-attenuating fibrocartilage in the knee. The total concentration of GAG in th...
