An optimized framework for quantitative magnetization transfer imaging of the cervical spinal cord in vivo
PURPOSE To develop a framework to fully characterize quantitative magnetization transfer indices in the human cervical cord in vivo within a clinically feasible time. METHODS A dedicated spinal cord imaging protocol for quantitative magnetization transfer was developed using a reduced field-of-view approach with echo planar imaging (EPI) readout. Sequence parameters were optimized based in th...
متن کاملQuantitative Magnetization Transfer Imaging of Human Cervical Spinal Cord at 3T
Introduction: The goal of this study was to determine the feasibility of performing quantitative magnetization transfer (qMT) at high resolution in the spinal cord on clinical 3T systems. While magnetization transfer (MT) imaging has been used to assess brain tissue microstructure, similar studies in the human spinal cord have been limited. This can largely be attributed to the difficulties ass...
متن کاملEvaluating single-point quantitative magnetization transfer in the cervical spinal cord: Application to multiple sclerosis
Spinal cord (SC) damage is linked to clinical deficits in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), however, conventional MRI methods are not specific to the underlying macromolecular tissue changes that may precede overt lesion detection. Single-point quantitative magnetization transfer (qMT) is a method that can provide high-resolution indices sensitive to underlying macromolecular composition i...
متن کاملdevelopment and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle
in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
15 صفحه اولPathological Assessment of Brain White Matter in Relapsing-Remitting MS Patients using Quantitative Magnetization Transfer Imaging
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by lesions in the white matter (WM) of the central nervous system. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most specific and sensitive method for diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. However, the ability of conventional MRI to show histopathologic heterogeneity of MS lesions is insufficient. Quantitative magnetization transfer imaging (qMTI) is a rel...
