Susceptibility-weighted imaging: technical aspects and clinical applications, part 1.
Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is a new neuroimaging technique, which uses tissue magnetic susceptibility differences to generate a unique contrast, different from that of spin density, T1, T2, and T2*. In this review (the first of 2 parts), we present the technical background for SWI. We discuss the concept of gradient-echo images and how we can measure local changes in susceptibility. ...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted Imaging (DWI): Technical Considerations
Repetition time and echo time Repetition time (TR) In general, the shortest TR value at the given number of slices is preferably used to carry out the scan as fast as possible. In a realistic simulation, if the number of slices is around 30, the TR value will be around 3000ms (although it changes widely with different parameter settings and different scanner specifications). A breath-hold scan ...
متن کاملImaging findings in cardiac masses (Part I): study protocol and benign tumors.
Cardiac masses represent a diagnostic challenge because decisions about treatment are based on imaging techniques. Echocardiography, magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) are fundamental for the detection, characterization, and staging of cardiac masses as well as for planning their treatment. Most primary cardiac tumors are benign; myxomas, papillary fibroelastomas, and lipomas ...
متن کاملHelical CT : Principles and Technical Considerations 1
. INTRODUCTION Helical computed tomography (CT) offers several technical advantages that have revolutionized body CT. Use of helical technology has improved established CT applications by the minimization of motion artifacts, the elimination of respiratory misregistration artifacts (1,2), and the production of overlapping images without additional x-ray exposure (3-5). New applications involvin...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation of Cardiac Masses
BACKGROUND Cardiac tumors are extremely rare; however, when there is clinical suspicion, proper diagnostic evaluation is necessary to plan the most appropriate treatment. In this context, cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) plays an important role, allowing a comprehensive characterization of such lesions. OBJECTIVE To review cases referred to a CMRI Department for investigation ...
