Cardiac and Hepatic T2*-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Abstract Background Iron overload is the main transfusion related side effects in patients with transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathies. Severe iron deposition in tissues leads to organ dysfunction. Many organs can be affected such as heart, liver, and endocrine organs. Cardiac failure and liver fibrosis are the consequent of Iron overload in transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathy. Magne...
متن کاملDNA Damages on Blood Cells After Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction: Along with the increased use of cardiac imaging at clinics there is increased attention to the potential risks related to the methods used like magnetic resonance (MR) and it cannot be ruled out that MR can alter DNA structure. The aim of this review is to assess the impact of routine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) scanning on DNA damages in human T lymphocytes....
متن کاملEnergy window setting for optimum Tl-201 cardiac imaging [Persian]
Introduction: Poor sensitivity and poor signal to noise ratio because of low injected thallium dose and presence of scattered photons are the main problems in using thallium in scintigraphic imaging of the heart. Scattered photons are the main cause of degrading the contrast and resolution in SPECT imaging that result in error in quantification. Thallium decay is ve...
متن کاملVisualization and temporal/spatial characterization of cardiac radiofrequency ablation lesions using magnetic resonance imaging.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to describe a system and method for creating, visualizing, and monitoring cardiac radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS AND RESULTS RFA was performed in the right ventricular apex of 6 healthy mongrel dogs with a custom 7F nonmagnetic ablation catheter (4-mm electrode) in a newly developed real-time inte...
متن کاملSegmentation and Visualization for Cardiac Ablation Procedures
In this thesis, we present novel medical image analysis methods to improve planning and outcome evaluation of cardiac ablation procedures. Cardiac ablation is a common medical procedure that consists of burning cardiac tissue causing atrial fibrillation, or irregular contractions of the heart’s atria. We first propose a method for the automatic delineation of the left atrium in magnetic resonan...
