Detection of intracranial hemorrhage: comparison between gradient-echo images and b0 images obtained from diffusion-weighted echo-planar sequences on 3.0T MRI.

چکیده
In this study, we compared the effectiveness of b0 echo-planar MR images (EPI) imaging with gradient recalled echo (GRE) in detecting acute hemorrhage. Brain images in 69 patients who suffered from acute infarction were reviewed. Nine of them had suffered from acute hemorrhage. Comparing b0EPI and GRE images side-by-side, we found no significant different effectiveness in detecting hemorrhage (P = .522, > or =.05). We concluded that b0EPI imaging could detect hemorrhagic lesions as effectively as GRE can without additional acquisition time.

Introduction: Non-uniformity is one of the most important parameters affecting MRI images which can lead to harmful effects in the diagnosis and analysis of qualitative and quantitative methods. The present study introduced a method for measuring RF non-homogeneity in MRI systems. Methods and Materials: To verify the uniformity of B0 and B1 fields, a cylindrical phantom with a diameter of 24 c...

Introduction: Non-invasive quantification of liver fat by Gradient echo (GRE) Technique is an interesting issue in quantitative MRI. Despite the numerous advantages of this technique, fat measurement maybe biased by confounding and effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the GRE pulse sequences with different and weighting for liver fat quantification in patients with...

متن کاملDiffusion weighted MR nerve sheath imaging (DW-NSI) using diffusion-sensitized driven-equiliblium (DSDE)
INTRODUCTION: The use of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for the evaluation of peripheral nerves was recently introduced by Takahara et al. [1]. Since the signal from the nerves at DWI originates from water within the nerve sheath, this method can be referred to as diffusion-weighted nerve sheath imaging (DW-NSI). There are two major limitations related to echo-planar imaging (EPI)-based DW-NS...
