Signal Intensity of High B-value Diffusion-weighted Imaging for the Detection of Prostate Cancer
Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a main component of multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer detection. Recently, high b value DWI has gained more attention because of its capability for tumor characterization. Objective: To assess based on histopathological findings of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy as a reference, an...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted MR imaging of the brain.
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging provides image contrast that is different from that provided by conventional MR techniques. It is particularly sensitive for detection of acute ischemic stroke and differentiation of acute stroke from other processes that manifest with sudden neurologic deficits. Diffusion-weighted MR imaging also provides adjunctive information for other cereb...
متن کاملEvaluation of the effect of exchange on the diffusion weighted MR-signal in brain white matter
Methods Software phantom construction: The diffusion is modeled in a raster with a square cross-section filled with infinitely long parallel aligned rigid cylinders. The diameters (10 μm ± 3.5 μm) and density (79.5%) of the cylinder packing were chosen similar to those observed in brain WM [1] (see Figure 1). Diffusion MR simulation: The diffusion process was modeled by Monte Carlo (MC) simulat...
متن کاملDiffusion-Weighted MR Imaging of Intracerebral Hemorrhage
OBJECTIVE To document the signal characteristics of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) at evolving stages on diffusion-weighted images (DWI) by comparison with conventional MR images. MATERIALS AND METHODS In our retrospective study, 38 patients with ICH underwent a set of imaging sequences that included DWI, T1-and T2-weighted imaging, and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR). In 33 and 1...
متن کاملA novel tensor distribution model for the diffusion-weighted MR signal
Diffusion MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique that allows the measurement of water molecule diffusion through tissue in vivo. The directional features of water diffusion allow one to infer the connectivity patterns prevalent in tissue and possibly track changes in this connectivity over time for various clinical applications. In this paper, we present a novel statistical model for diffusion...
