Imaging contrast agent concentration and extracellular volume fraction in the right ventricle
Background Globally increased myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECVF) has been associated with diffuse myocardial fibrosis. ECVF can be estimated using blood and tissue concentrations of gadolinium contrast agent, [Gd], which are calculated using baseline and post-contrast T1 values [1]. To date, T1 quantification has been limited to the left ventricle (LV) with moderate spatial resolut...
متن کاملEffect of Bias in Contrast Agent Concentration Measurement on Estimated Pharmacokinetic Parameters in Brain Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies
Introduction: Pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is widely applied in tumor diagnosis and treatment evaluation. Precision analysis of the estimated PK parameters is essential when they are used as a measure for therapy evaluation or treatment planning. In this study, the accuracy of PK parameters in brain DCE...
متن کاملEvaluation of the use of gold nanoparticle as contrast agent in electrical impedance imaging
Introduction: Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a real time and minimal invasive imaging modality for detection of lesions in tissues even when their structures show no changes. Early detection of lesion with EIT depends on difference between electrical impedance of targeted tissue and its surroundings. Therefore, finding a contrast agent for EIT that increase this diffe...
متن کاملPressure-volume relationships in right ventricle.
• Recently, we have reported on the pressure developed in the left ventricle when that chamber was made to contract under conditions closely approaching that of being isovolumic.' 2 More recently, the use of a latex balloon to change the amount of effort of the right ventricle yielded data on the pressure developed in the right ventricle at different volumes under nearly isovolumic conditions. ...
متن کاملThe Right Ventricle: Unforgettable With Imaging.
T he right ventricle has been described as the “forgotten chamber,” and despite better awareness of its importance, current heart failure (HF) guidelines have taken little cognizance of the right ventricle. In part, this reflects the limitations of the evidence regarding the determinants of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and its relation to outcomes in HF. This special issue of iJACC seeks ...
