Diagnosis of patients with Parkinson's disease using quantitative susceptibility mapping
Introduction: Parkinson'sdisease isassociated withirondeposition in the brain. The T2-weighted imaging, T2* mapping, R2 mapping and Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) are three common methods to evaluating the iron deposition in brain. Among three methods the QSM is more sensitive than others. Few studies have been used QSM for evaluating the iron deposition in the basa...
متن کاملCarotid Plaque Characterization by Duplex Scanning
Background and Purpose—Clinical studies currently in progress are using subjective methods to characterize plaque morphology from ultrasound images. However, there are few studies on the intraobserver and interobserver variability of these classifications. This study was designed to assess these variables. Methods—Grading of plaque morphology from ultrasound images, stored both digitally and to...
متن کاملIn-vivo quantitative T2 mapping of carotid arteries in atherosclerotic patients: segmentation and T2 measurement of plaque components
BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic plaques in carotid arteries can be characterized in-vivo by multicontrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), which has been thoroughly validated with histology. However, the non-quantitative nature of multicontrast CMR and the need for extensive post-acquisition interpretation limit the widespread clinical application of in-vivo CMR plaque characterization. Quan...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of carotid plaque composition by in vivo MRI.
OBJECTIVE This study evaluates the ability of MRI to quantify all major carotid atherosclerotic plaque components in vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-one subjects scheduled for carotid endarterectomy were imaged with a 1.5T scanner using time-of-flight-, T1-, proton density-, and T2-weighted images. A total of 214 MR imaging locations were matched to corresponding histology sections. For MRI ...
متن کاملFunctional quantitative susceptibility mapping (fQSM)
Blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a powerful technique, typically based on the statistical analysis of the magnitude component of the complex time-series. Here, we additionally interrogated the phase data of the fMRI time-series and used quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) in order to investigate the potential of functional QSM (fQSM)...
