Cerebral Perfusion Imaging with a Hyperpolarized Freely Diffusible Contrast Agent
Introduction: Hyperpolarized contrast agents have a number of attractive features for application to perfusion imaging [1]. Indeed, these agents provide high signal strength with virtually no endogenous background signal and therefore make excellent tracers for monitoring blood flow. In comparison to arterial spin labeling (ASL), which produces signal modulations on the order of a few percent, ...
متن کاملHyperpolarized water as an authentic magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent.
Pure water in a highly (1)H spin-polarized state is proposed as a contrast-agent-free contrast agent to visualize its macroscopic evolution in aqueous media by MRI. Remotely enhanced liquids for image contrast (RELIC) utilizes a (1)H signal of water that is enhanced outside the sample in continuous-flow mode and immediately delivered to the sample to obtain maximum contrast between entering and...
متن کاملErbium-Based Perfusion Contrast Agent for Small-Animal Microvessel Imaging
Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) facilitates the visualization and quantification of contrast-enhanced microvessels within intact tissue specimens, but conventional preclinical vascular contrast agents may be inadequate near dense tissue (such as bone). Typical lead-based contrast agents do not exhibit optimal X-ray absorption properties when used with X-ray tube potentials below 90 kilo-el...
متن کاملHyperpolarized krypton-83 as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging.
For the first time, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with hyperpolarized (hp) krypton-83 (83Kr) has become available. The relaxation of the nuclear spin of 83Kr atoms (I = 9/2) is driven by quadrupolar interactions during brief adsorption periods on surrounding material interfaces. Experiments in model systems reveal that the longitudinal relaxation of hp 83Kr gas strongly depends on the chemic...
متن کاملA New Potential Contrast Agent for Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Iron Oxide-4A Nanocomposite
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents have an important role to differentiate healthy and diseased tissues. Access and design new contrast agents for the optimal use of MRI are necessary. This study aims to evaluate iron oxide–4A nanocomposite ability to act as a magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent.Materials and Methods: Iron oxide–4A nanocomposite (F4A) was syn...
