Intercentre reproducibility of cardiac apparent diffusion coefficient and fractional anisotropy in healthy volunteers
BACKGROUND Diffusion tensor cardiac magnetic resonance (DT-CMR) enables probing of the microarchitecture of the myocardium, but the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) reported in healthy volunteers have been inconsistent. The aim of this study was to validate a stimulated-echo diffusion sequence using phantoms, and to assess the intercentre reproducibility of in...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficient value of the hippocampus in patients with hippocampal sclerosis and in healthy volunteers.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR diffusion-weighted (DW) imaging with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) has had widespread use clinically in a variety of intracranial diseases; however, only a few studies report ADC changes in patients with hippocampal sclerosis. We sought to determine the ability of ADC to lateralize the epileptogenic lesion in patients with hippocampal sclerosis. METHODS Ninete...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficient and fractional anisotropy of newly diagnosed grade II gliomas.
Distinguishing between low-grade oligodendrogliomas (ODs) and astrocytomas (AC) is of interest for defining prognosis and stratifying patients to specific treatment regimens. The purpose of this study was to determine if the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) from diffusion imaging can help to differentiate between newly diagnosed grade II OD and AC subtypes and...
متن کاملReproducibility of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Measurements in Malignant Breast Masses
This study aimed to evaluate the reproducibility of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements in malignant breast masses, and to determine the influence of mammographic parenchymal density on this reproducibility. Sixty-six patients with magnetic resonance findings of the mass were included. Two breast radiologists measured the ADC of the malignant breast mass and the same area on the c...
متن کاملIntercentre reproducibility of second eigenvector orientation in cardiac diffusion tensor imaging
Background Diffusion tensor imaging enables the study of cardiac microstructure in vivo, including its changes through the cardiac cycle. The left ventricle consists of myocytes with opposing helical arrangements in the epiand endocardium. Histology shows that these myocytes are arranged into small laminar “sheetlet” structures, separated by shear layers which allow the sheetlets to move and re...
