Identification of atherosclerotic lipid deposits by diffusion-weighted imaging.
OBJECTIVES The content and distribution of lipids is an important aspect of plaque vulnerability, but lipids are present within a heterogeneous environment, impeding detection by magnetic resonance imaging. Our goal was to achieve accurate detection of mobile lipids by a single magnetic resonance imaging sequence. METHODS AND RESULTS Carotid endarectomy specimens (n=23) were imaged ex vivo at...
متن کاملFsp27 promotes lipid droplet growth by lipid exchange and transfer at lipid droplet contact sites
Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic cellular organelles that control many biological processes. However, molecular components determining LD growth are poorly understood. Genetic analysis has indicated that Fsp27, an LD-associated protein, is important in controlling LD size and lipid storage in adipocytes. In this paper, we demonstrate that Fsp27 is focally enriched at the LD-LD contacting site (...
متن کاملDiffusion magnetic resonance monitors intramyocellular lipid droplet size in vivo.
PURPOSE Intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) droplets are dynamic organelles whose morphology reflects their vital roles in lipid synthesis, usage, and storage in muscle energy metabolism. To develop noninvasive means to measure droplet microstructure in vivo, we investigated the molecular diffusion behavior of IMCL with diffusion magnetic resonance spectroscopy. METHODS Using extremely large diffus...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted radial fast spin-echo for high-resolution diffusion tensor imaging at 3T.
There is a need for an imaging sequence that can provide high-resolution diffusion tensor images at 3T near air-tissue interfaces. By employing a radial fast spin-echo (FSE) collection in conjunction with magnitude filtered back-projection reconstruction, high-resolution diffusion-weighted images can be produced without susceptibility artifacts. However, violation of the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gi...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted MR imaging of non-complicated hepatic cysts: Value of 3T computed diffusion-weighted imaging
PURPOSE To investigate the utility of computed 3T diffusion-weighted imaging (c-DWI) for the diagnosis of non-complicated hepatic cysts with a focus on the T2 shine-through effect. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 50 patients with non-complicated hepatic cysts we acquired one set of DWIs (b-value 0 and 1000 s/mm(2)) at 1.5T, and two sets at 3T (b-value 0 and 1000 s/mm(2), TE 70 ms; b-value 0 and 600 ...
