Intercentre reproducibility of cardiac apparent diffusion coefficient and fractional anisotropy in healthy volunteers
BACKGROUND Diffusion tensor cardiac magnetic resonance (DT-CMR) enables probing of the microarchitecture of the myocardium, but the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) reported in healthy volunteers have been inconsistent. The aim of this study was to validate a stimulated-echo diffusion sequence using phantoms, and to assess the intercentre reproducibility of in...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficient and fractional anisotropy of newly diagnosed grade II gliomas.
Distinguishing between low-grade oligodendrogliomas (ODs) and astrocytomas (AC) is of interest for defining prognosis and stratifying patients to specific treatment regimens. The purpose of this study was to determine if the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) from diffusion imaging can help to differentiate between newly diagnosed grade II OD and AC subtypes and...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficient values during magnetic resonance -guided biopsy of the prostate: correlation with histological results
Introduction: Recently, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging (DCE-MRI) are introduced as additional imaging methods to improve the specificity. Langer et al. found significant differences in ADC values between normal peripheral zone tissue and cancerous tissue. In this study whole mount section histopathology was used as standard of reference. However, the c...
متن کاملWhole-brain apparent diffusion coefficient in traumatic brain injury: correlation with Glasgow Coma Scale score.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and low Glasgow coma scale (GCS) scores may have severe injury associated with cellular disruption that can be studied with whole-brain apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) histograms. We retrospectively studied this hypothesis and correlated ADC with GCS. METHODS Twenty-one patients (37.81 +/- 41.3 years) with TBI were enrolle...
متن کاملApparent diffusion and fractional anisotropy of diffuse intrinsic brain stem gliomas.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE DIBSGs have the worst prognosis among pediatric brain tumors with no improvement of outcome for several decades. In this study, we determined whether diffusion imaging could improve patient stratification and our understanding of the impact of therapies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine baseline and 24 follow-up DTI studies performed in 9 patients on a 1.5T clinical MR imagin...
