Functional MR imaging on an open 1T MR imaging system: exploiting the advantages of an open MR imaging system for functional MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Open MR imaging scanners are designed for imaging of specific patient groups that cannot be routinely scanned with conventional MR imaging scanners (eg, patients with obesity and claustrophobia). This study aims to determine whether BOLD sensitivity on an open 1T scanner is adequate for fMRI for diagnostic and research purposes by directly comparing fMRI results with a st...
متن کاملProton MR spectroscopy in a 1T open MR imaging system.
(1)H-MR spectroscopy is an established noninvasive MR imaging technique that can be helpful in the diagnosis of brain lesions and in treatment planning. Claustrophobia and body habitus preclude some patients from routine MR imaging in a closed-bore system. The development of (1)H-MR spectroscopy for use in an open MR imaging system would enable a more complete characterization of brain lesions ...
متن کاملSuperconducting open-configuration MR imaging system for image-guided therapy.
PURPOSE To develop a superconducting magnetic resonance (MR) imager that provides direct access to the patient and permits interactive MR-guided interventional procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 0.5-T superconducting magnet that allows a region of vertical access to the patient was designed and constructed. This magnet was integrated with newly designed shielded gradient coils, flexible surf...
متن کاملMultidisciplinary Functional MR Imaging for Prostate Cancer
Various functional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques are used for evaluating prostate cancer including diffusion-weighted imaging, dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging, and MR spectroscopy. These techniques provide unique information that is helpful to differentiate prostate cancer from non-cancerous tissue and have been proven to improve the diagnostic performance of MRI not only for ...
متن کاملFunctional MR imaging of the uterus.
Recent developments in MR imaging techniques have enabled the functional assessment of the uterus. Cine MR imaging is a useful tool for evaluating uterine kinematic functions derived from myometrial contractility, and for investigating the alteration of uterine contractility in a variety of conditions and gynecologic disorders. Diffusion-weighted imaging can demonstrate abnormal signal in patho...
