Quantification of severe liver iron overload using MRI offset echoes
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the clinical standard to estimate liver iron overload. The most commonly used method is to measure the transversal relaxation time, T2*, from a multi gradient recalled echo sequence (MGRE). While this technique is reliable in low to moderate liver iron concentrations (LIC), it will be inaccurate when it is severe. We report a case with severe liver he...
متن کاملQuantitative myocardial perfusion analysis with a dual-bolus contrast-enhanced first-pass MRI technique in humans.
PURPOSE To compare fully quantitative and semiquantitative analysis of rest and stress myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) using a dual-bolus first-pass perfusion MRI method in humans. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rest and dipyridamole stress perfusion imaging was performed on 10 healthy humans by administering gadolinium contrast using a dual-bolus protocol. Ventricul...
متن کاملQuantitative Assessment of Myocardial Perfusion MRI
Myocardial perfusion MRI is acquired with a T1-weighted dynamic MRI sequence. Fully quantitative analysis of myocardial perfusion MRI allows the absolute quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) through the use of complex mathematical modeling. There are essentially two main methods for quantification of absolute MBF: the linear time-invariant model and the compartment model. Maximized con...
متن کاملComparison of iron chelation effects of deferoxamine, deferasirox, and combination of deferoxamine and deferiprone on liver and cardiac T2* MRI in thalassemia maior
Background: Cardiac complications due to iron overload are the most common cause of death in patients with thalassemia major. The aim of this study was to compare iron chelation effects of deferoxamine, deferasirox, and combination of deferoxamine and deferiprone on cardiac and liver iron load measured by T2* MRI. Methods: In this study, 108 patients with thalassemia major aged over 10 years...
متن کاملthe relationship between using language learning strategies, learners’ optimism, educational status, duration of learning and demotivation
with the growth of more humanistic approaches towards teaching foreign languages, more emphasis has been put on learners’ feelings, emotions and individual differences. one of the issues in teaching and learning english as a foreign language is demotivation. the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the components of language learning strategies, optimism, duration o...
