Age-related Changes in Locus Ceruleus on Neuromelanin Magnetic Resonance Imaging at 3 Tesla

Age-related changes in locus ceruleus on neuromelanin magnetic resonance imaging at 3 Tesla.

PURPOSE To investigate age-related changes in the locus ceruleus (LC) in healthy subjects using neuromelanin magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at 3 Tesla. METHODS We examined 64 healthy volunteers (aged 23 to 80 years) using neuromelanin-sensitive T1-weighted images and measured the contrast of areas of high signal intensity corresponding to the LC. RESULTS A pair of punctate areas of high si...

Waveguide Magnetic Resonance Imaging at 3 Tesla

Introduction. Waveguides have been successfully used to generate magnetic resonance images at 7 Tesla for whole-body systems [1]. From these results, it has been established that waveguides are only suitable for 7T systems with wide bores of al least 60 cm. This is mainly due to the cut-off frequency of the cylindrical waveguides used. To overcome this limitation a parallel-plate waveguide was ...

Clinical Applications for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging at 3 Tesla

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has evolved rapidly and is now accepted as a powerful diagnostic tool with significant clinical and research applications. Clinical 3 Tesla (3 T) scanners are increasingly available and offer improved diagnostic capabilities compared to 1.5 T scanners for perfusion, viability, and coronary imaging. Although technical challenges remain for cardiac ...
