Imaging hypoxia using a nitroimidazole based T1 MR contrast agent
Introduction: Hypoxic regions in tumors are known to affect radiation sensitivity and promote development of metastases [1]. Noninvasive imaging based methods such as MRI are particularly suitable for longitudinal measurements and generation of three-dimensional spatial maps of tumor hypoxia [2]. An MRI method that could differentiate hypoxic versus normoxic tissues without relying on washout m...
متن کاملHigh-spatial-resolution multistation MR angiography with parallel imaging and blood pool contrast agent: initial experience.
The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of reader detection of 75% or greater stenosis at high-spatial-resolution multistation magnetic resonance (MR) angiography performed with matrix coils and a blood pool contrast agent. Ten healthy volunteers and 10 patients were examined. All participants provided informed consent to participate in this institutional...
متن کاملRecent Advances in PET-MR Hybrid contrast agent
Introduction: All of the Imaging modalities have advantages and disadvantages alone. So if we want to have the best and perfect image, combining these modalities produces something we desired. PET-MR images consist of morphologic and metabolic data. MRI and PET provide high spatial and contrast resolution and high sensitivity and molecular information respectively. Hybrid PET-...
متن کاملHigh Resolution MR Angiography of Tumors using Iron-Oxide Contrast Agent
Motivation: Tumor vessels play a pivotal role in tumor growth, and thus many new anticancer agents target tumor vasculature. Therefore, noninvasive monitoring of changes in the tumor vasculature is one of the most fascinating interests in cancer therapy and imaging. Although MR angiography (MRA) allows direct visualization of the tumor vasculature, its spatial resolution is limited by the metho...
متن کاملT1 hyperintense renal lesions: characterization with diffusion-weighted MR imaging versus contrast-enhanced MR imaging.
PURPOSE To compare the performance of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement obtained with diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the characterization of non-fat-containing T1 hyperintense renal lesions with that of contrast material-enhanced MR imaging, with histopathologic analysis and follow-up imaging as the reference standards. MATERIALS AND METHODS Institut...
