3D Pseudocontinuous Arterial Spin-Labeling MR Imaging in the Preoperative Evaluation of Gliomas.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies showed conflicting results concerning the value of CBF maps obtained from arterial spin-labeling MR imaging in grading gliomas. This study was performed to investigate the effectiveness of CBF maps derived from 3D pseudocontinuous arterial spin-labeling in preoperatively assessing the grade, cellular proliferation, and prognosis of gliomas. MATERIALS AN...
متن کاملSuperselective pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling.
A new technique for the imaging of flow territories of individual extra- and intracranial arteries is presented. The method is based on balanced pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling but employs additional time-varying gradients in between the radiofrequency pulses of the long labeling train. The direction of the additional gradient vector is perpendicular to the selected artery and its azimu...
متن کامل4D radial acquisition contrast-enhanced MR angiography and intracranial arteriovenous malformations: quickly approaching digital subtraction angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The current gold standard for imaging intracranial AVMs involves catheter-based techniques, namely cerebral digital subtraction angiography (DSA). However, DSA presents some procedural risks to the patient. Unfortunately, AVM patients usually undergo multiple DSA exams throughout their diagnostic and therapeutic course, significantly increasing their procedural risk expos...
متن کاملCarotid MR angiography using pulsed continuous arterial spin labeling
Introduction Carotid artery disease is a major cause of cerebral ischemia and infarction. It is routinely assessed using contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Several methods for nonenhanced MRA exist, which may be particularly advantageous in patients with impaired renal function due to the risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. Pulsed arterial spin-labeled (ASL) MRA has been...
متن کاملFour-dimensional noncontrast-enhanced MR angiography at ultrahigh field
Background Arterial spin labeled (ASL) 4D MRA has been shown to be a valuable method for simultaneously assessing anatomic structure and dynamic filling of cerebral arteries. Beyond improved SNR and parallel imaging performance, performing these studies at ultrahigh field will benefit from longer T1s resulting in more persistent labeling allowing for improved visualization of distal vessels, es...
