چکیده

background access to appropriate images of fetal brain can greatly assist to diagnose of probable abnormalities. the aim of this study was to compare the suitability of t2-true fast imaging with steady state free precession (t2-trufi), and t2-half-fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo (t2- haste( magnetic resonance imaging (mri) to extract the fetal brain using the level set algorithm.materials and method:  t2-trufi and t2-haste mri of the uterus were performed. the fetal brain was cropped from the image manually, with an adequate margin of maternal tissues; and then the fetal brain was extracted using level set. the outcome was statistically analyzed to compare its success, error (sensitivity and specificity), and similarities (dice and jaccard), with those of images obtained by radiologist.results: the mean values of statistical tests to evaluate the similarity (dice and jaccard) and the success and error (sensitivity and specificity) between two t2-trufi and t2-haste were calculated as 97.35%, 94.98%, 95.88%, 95.88%, 99.45%, 91.10%,83.82%, 86.44% and 99.11%, respectively. however, the results from two images showed high scores to extract the fetal brain, but images from the t2-haste technique resulted in better visually output.conclusionbased on our results, the t2-haste mr images are preferred to fetal brain extraction by level set algorithm compared to the t2-trufi mr images.

Half-fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) MR: comparison with fast spin-echo MR in diseases of the brain.

PURPOSE To compare an ultrafast T2-weighted (half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo [HASTE]) pulse sequence with fast spin-echo T2-weighted sequences in MR imaging of brain lesions. METHODS Fast spin-echo and HASTE images of 34 consecutive patients over the age of 50 years or with suspected demyelinating disease were reviewed independently by two neuroradiologists for the number...

MR sialography using half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) sequences.

We describe our preliminary experience with the half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) sequences for MR imaging of the salivary gland ducts. In the majority of patients, the main parotid and/or submandibular gland ducts and large branches within the glands were detectable on MR images obtained in 2 seconds per section and within 3 minutes for the entire examination. MR sia...

MR-guided sclerotherapy of low-flow vascular malformations using T2 -weighted interrupted bSSFP (T2 W-iSSFP): comparison of pulse sequences for visualization and needle guidance.

PURPOSE Image-guided treatment of low-flow vascular (venous or lymphatic) malformations presents a challenging visualization problem, regardless of the imaging modality being used for guidance. The purpose of this study was to employ a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence, T2 -weighted interrupted balanced steady-state free precession (T2 W-iSSFP), for real-time image guidance of needl...

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography: value of using the half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) sequence.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) for visualisation and diagnosis of pancreatico-biliary diseases. Our results of 35 case studies, correlating with results from endoscopic, percutaneous cholangiopancreatography or laparotomy, showed that MRCP performed using the half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin echo (HASTE...

Most commonly used sequences and clinical protocols for brain and spine magnetic resonance imaging allowing better identification of pathological changes in dogs.

Magnetic resonance imaging is the best imaging modality for the brain and spine. Quality of the received images depends on many technical factors. The most significant factors are: positioning the patient, proper coil selection, selection of appropriate sequences and image planes. The present contrast between different tissues provides an opportunity to diagnose various lesions. In many clinics...
