Erbium-Based Perfusion Contrast Agent for Small-Animal Microvessel Imaging
Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) facilitates the visualization and quantification of contrast-enhanced microvessels within intact tissue specimens, but conventional preclinical vascular contrast agents may be inadequate near dense tissue (such as bone). Typical lead-based contrast agents do not exhibit optimal X-ray absorption properties when used with X-ray tube potentials below 90 kilo-el...
متن کاملCerebral Perfusion Imaging with a Hyperpolarized Freely Diffusible Contrast Agent
Introduction: Hyperpolarized contrast agents have a number of attractive features for application to perfusion imaging [1]. Indeed, these agents provide high signal strength with virtually no endogenous background signal and therefore make excellent tracers for monitoring blood flow. In comparison to arterial spin labeling (ASL), which produces signal modulations on the order of a few percent, ...
متن کاملA New Potential Contrast Agent for Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Iron Oxide-4A Nanocomposite
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents have an important role to differentiate healthy and diseased tissues. Access and design new contrast agents for the optimal use of MRI are necessary. This study aims to evaluate iron oxide–4A nanocomposite ability to act as a magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent.Materials and Methods: Iron oxide–4A nanocomposite (F4A) was syn...
متن کاملComparison between echo contrast agent-specific imaging modes and perfusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for the assessment of brain perfusion.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Contrast burst imaging (CBI) and time variance imaging (TVI) are new ultrasonic imaging modes enabling the visualization of intravenously injected echo contrast agents in brain parenchyma. The aim of this study was to compare the quantitative ultrasonic data with corresponding perfusion-weighted MRI data (p-MRI) with respect to the assessment of brain perfusion. METHODS...
متن کاملDesign of Small Animal Computed Tomography Imaging for in vitro and in vivo Studies
Introduction: Mini Computed Tomography (mini-CT) was suggested in biomedical research to investigate tissues and small animals. We present designed and built a mini x-ray computed tomography (mini-CT) for small animals as well as industrial component imaging. Materials and Methods: The system used in this study includes a X-ray tube 20kV to 160kV and a flat pa...
