Tagged MR imaging of intracranial aneurysm models.

چکیده
We used tagged MR imaging to investigate the flow in two lateral and two terminal saccular intracranial aneurysm models of different neck sizes. Imaging was performed with a 1.5-T superconducting MR system using 2D fast spatial modulation of magnetization (SPAMM) sequences with an intersegmental delay of 25 milliseconds. The flow in the saccular aneurysm models varied with the shape and size of the neck: flow was faster in wider-necked aneurysms than in those with narrower necks.

Preliminary study of tagged MR image velocimetry in a replica of an intracranial aneurysm.
Flow dynamics in intracranial aneurysms and their adjacent parent vessels play important roles in the development and rupture of intracranial aneurysms. Combined with tagged MR imaging and the use of particle image velocimetry software, tagged MR image velocimetry reveals flow vectors, vorticity, and shear strains at each location in the aneurysm replica every 9 milliseconds. This technique is ...
متن کاملA CASE OF GIANT INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSM AND SYST EMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS: AN INCIDENTAL OR AN ACCIDENTAL FINDING?
A twelve year old girl, an established case of systemic lupus erythematosus, was referred to us suffering from diplopia and nasal speech for a period of 3 months. Neurological examination was conducted which revealed a right-sided sixth nerve palsy and a pulsatile nasopharyngeal mass. Neurodiagnostic imaging studies confirmed a giant intracavernous internal carotid aneurysm. The malady of t...
متن کاملMR imaging of patients with intracranial aneurysm clips.
Four patients with intracranial aneurysm clips made from a variety of alloys were studied without incidence by MR imaging at field strengths ranging from 0.35 to 0.6 T. Knowledge of the type of alloy used in the manufacturing of an aneurysm clip is important in determining whether the clip will or will not deflect in a magnetic field. Ferromagnetic clips show deflection and torque in a magnetic...
متن کاملMR angiography of aneurysm models of various shapes and neck sizes.
PURPOSE To investigate the signal intensity of lateral and terminal saccular aneurysm models with differing neck sizes using three-dimensional time-of-flight (TOF) MR angiography with various imaging parameters. METHODS The study included four lateral and four terminal saccular aneurysm models with pulsatile flow. The height and fundus diameter were 10 mm; the neck diameters were 2.5 mm, 5 mm...
متن کاملComparison of MR imaging and CT in patients with intracranial aneurysm clips.
CT and MR imaging of the brain were performed without complications in 16 patients who had undergone surgery for a ruptured aneurysm with the use of nonferromagnetic Yasargil 316 or Sugita Elgiloy clips. MR was performed on a 0.3-T Fonar beta-3000M imaging system. The artifacts caused by the clips were smaller on MR than on CT, and, therefore, anatomic structures such as the brainstem and tempo...
