Apparent diffusion coefficients of metabolites in patients with MELAS using diffusion-weighted MR spectroscopy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE DW-MR spectroscopy can detect the diffusion coefficients of NAA, Cr, PCr, and Cho and can, therefore, provide some useful information. The aims of this study were to probe the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of MELAS and to see whether DW-MR spectroscopy is a useful technique for other diseases besides cerebral infarction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen healthy vo...
متن کاملAnomalous diffusion of brain metabolites evidenced by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance spectroscopy in vivo.
Translational displacement of molecules within cells is a key process in cellular biology. Molecular motion potentially depends on many factors, including active transport, cytosol viscosity and molecular crowding, tortuosity resulting from cytoskeleton and organelles, and restriction barriers. However, the relative contribution of these factors to molecular motion in the cytoplasm remains poor...
متن کاملpreoperative grading of astrocytic supratentorial brain tumors with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient
background diffusion-weighted imaging (dwi) is a form of magnetic resonance imaging (mri) based on measuring the random brownian motion of water molecules within the biological tissues and is particularly useful in tumor characterization. objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of dw mri and the apparent diffusion coefficient (adc) for preoperative grading of a...
متن کاملDiffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging by Diffusion Temperal Spectroscopy
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) provides a unique approach for probing the microstructure of biological tissues and is an important tool for both clinical and research applications, such as for the diagnosis of stroke and detection of cancer. However, conventional DWI measurements using pulsed gradient spin echo (PGSE) methods cannot in practice probe very short diffusion ti...
متن کاملThe accuracy and sensitivity of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with Apparent Diffusion Coefficients in diagnosis of recurrent cholesteatoma
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the accuracy and sensitivity of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with ADC value combined with MDCT in evaluating recurrent cholesteatoma. PATIENTS Thirty patients (20 females and 10 males), their age ranged from 10 to 40years, had undergone a tympanomastoid surgery for a cholesteatoma of the middle ear underwent MDCT and MR DWI examination before second- or ...
