Optimal Analysis Method for Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Diffuse Optical Tomography
Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT) is an optical imaging modality that has various clinical applications. However, the spatial resolution and quantitative accuracy of DOT is poor due to strong photon scatting in biological tissue. Structural a priori information from another high spatial resolution imaging modality such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been demonstrated to significantly im...
متن کاملTumor characterization in small animals using magnetic resonance-guided dynamic contrast enhanced diffuse optical tomography.
We present a magnetic resonance (MR)-guided near-infrared dynamic contrast enhanced diffuse optical tomography (DCE-DOT) system for characterization of tumors using an optical contrast agent (ICG) and a MR contrast agent [Gd-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)] in a rat model. Both ICG and Gd-DTPA are injected and monitored simultaneously using a combined MRI-DOT system, resulting in accu...
متن کاملDynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI): From the Simplest to the Most Advanced DCE-Model
1. Tracer Kinetic Modeling • Extracellular agents (such as Gd-DTPA) accumulate in the interstitium of many tissues (e.g. muscle) but do not cross the healthy blood-brain-barrier. • Functional information may be obtained by treating Gd-DTPA as a tracer and following its kinetics (as opposed to the conventional ‘static’ approach, inject wait – image once). • After intravenous administration (norm...
متن کاملIntegrated diffuse optical tomography and photoacoustic tomography: phantom validations
We designed, fabricated and tested a novel imaging system that fuses diffuse optical tomography (DOT) and photoacoustic tomography (PAT) in a single platform. This platform takes advantages of both DOT and PAT, and can potentially provide dual-modality two dimensional functional and cellular images of the breast quantitatively. Here we describe this integrated platform along with initial tissue...
متن کاملInterobserver and Intraobserver Reproducibility with Volume Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography (DCE-CT) in Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
The purpose of this study was to assess inter- and intra-observer reproducibility of three different analytic methods to evaluate quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (DCE-CT) measures from gastroesophageal junctional cancer. Twenty-five DCE-CT studies with gastroesophageal junction cancer were selected from a previous longitudinal study. Three radiologists independently r...
