Segmentation of the Breasts in MR-Mammography
Introduction Contrast enhanced MR mammography is a highly sensitive method in breast cancer detection. Tracking the inflow and washout of contrast agents is used to classify suspect tissue as malign or benign. Segmenting the breasts is needed in order to: • quantify the tissue in fat and parenchyma, • make local elastic motion correction [1] faster and more robust by restricting the registratio...
متن کاملMR Physics for Physicists / B1 Shimming and Parallel Transmission
METHODS: Currently, among other means, modifications of the applied RF pulses are investigated to cope with the mentioned B1 inhomogeneities. First, using a coil array for RF transmission, standard slice selective pulses can be transmitted with different weights in the different array elements (see, e.g., [2-4]). These weights, i.e., amplitude and phase of each element, are designed to yield a ...
متن کاملMorpho-Functional Visualization of Dynamic MR-Mammography
In view of an increasing use of breast MRI supplementing X-ray mammography, the purpose of this study was the development of a method for fast and efficient analysis of dynamic MR image series of the female breast. The image data sets were acquired with a saturation-recovery-turbo-FLASH sequence facilitating the detection of the kinetics of the contrast agent concentration in the whole breast w...
متن کاملA robust automated shimming procedure for breast MR spectroscopy
Introduction Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-MRS) offers attractive possibilities for the non-invasive in vivo assessment of breast lesion biochemistry, as an aid for diagnosis [1] and an early indicator of disease response to treatment [2-4]. Effective shimming to achieve a high magnetic field homogeniety over the volume of interest (VOI) is paramount for MRS to achieve sufficient sp...
متن کاملIndividual and regional determinants of mammography uptake.
BACKGROUND Analysis of mammography utilization has traditionally been performed from an individual-level perspective. The purpose of this study was to explore the combined influence of individual- and regional-level determinants of mammography utilization. METHODS Logistic hierarchical multilevel modelling was used to investigate the influences of region of residence and individual characteri...
