Cystic ovarian lesions in SSFP diffusion imaging.
PURPOSE MR assessments of ovarian cystic lesions are usually based on morphological features, signal intensities and enhancement with contrast media. This study was performed to evaluate the usefulness of the steady-state free precession (SSFP) diffusion imaging of cystic ovarian lesions for analyzing cystic contents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-one ovarian cystic lesions in 37 patients were ...
متن کاملDiffusion-Weighted (DW) Imaging in Ovarian Cystic Lesions: Value of DW Imaging Compared to T2-weighted Imaging at 3T MRI
Purpose : Only a few studies on diffusion weighted (DW) imaging of ovarian lesions have been reported (1-3). In previous studies, the role of DW imaging in distinguishing between benign and malignant cystic tumors may be limited. Katayama et al (3) reported that apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values may not provide additional information, especially to discriminate benign from malignant l...
متن کاملPhysiologic Cystic Ovarian Lesions
Owing to multiplanar imaging capabilities and excellent tissue characterization, MRI can facilitate definitive diagnosis of benign conditions of the female pelvis. The purpose of this chapter is to review the spectrum of common benign conditions of the female pelvis and to illustrate the MRI features of these conditions, with an emphasis on the key imaging characteristics to suggest accurate di...
متن کاملMyocardial diffusion tensor imaging using diffusion-prepared SSFP
Background Diffusion tensor imaging of the myocardium is challenging due to the large bulk motion of the heart relative to the distance water diffuses. One solution is to use diffusion gradients on two consecutive heartbeats, with EPI to readout the stimulated echo [1]. The technique has not been widely adopted, primarily due to the long imaging times required to overcome the low SNR of the tec...
متن کاملSSFP Diffusion prepared SSFSE
Introduction The bright signal of fluid and blood can affect tumor detection in screening applications. Diffusion weighted EPI is now frequently employed to attenuate these signals and highlight tumors. Gradient pulses can also be added to unbalanced SSFP sequences to attenuate the signals with motion. It has been demonstrated that SSFP sequence is strongly sensitive to self-diffusion or other ...
