Novel MRI T2 Mapping for Improved Myocardial Tissue Characterisation
Introduction: As part of our work on myocardial iron quantification we have developed an breath-hold fast spin echo (FSE) T2 technique with good reproducibility (1,2). This T2 technique, however, is based on region-ofinterest (ROI) analysis. Although ROI analysis can increase signal to noise ratio (SNR), it may introduce errors to T2 measurement by averaging every pixel within the region. By co...
متن کاملTissue microstructure characterisation through relaxometry and diffusion MRI using sparse component analysis
We introduce a new approach to characterise brain tissue microstructure combining diffusion MRI and relaxometry. The tissue is modelled as a composition of water pools with distinct T2 and diffusivities. Mathematically, we establish a blind source separation framework that we solve using sparse component analysis. Results show that this technique is able to extract distinct diffusion and relaxo...
متن کاملMyocardial Edema on T2-Weighted MRI
Importance of Evaluation of Ischemia/ Reperfusion Injury by Magnetic Resonance Imaging Although the advances in revascularization therapy have drastically decreased the mortality after ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the number of patients who develop heart failure after the reperfusion therapy continues to increase. More than 30% of the patients who survive STEMI develop he...
متن کاملT2 relaxometry of the hippocampus at 3T.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE T2 mapping is useful for identifying and quantifying abnormalities of the hippocampus and amygdala. It is particularly useful in the presurgical evaluation of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and for the identification of bilateral hippocampal sclerosis (HS). The purpose of this study was to implement and validate a dual-echo method for producing coronal T2 maps with ...
متن کاملT2 quantification for improved detection of myocardial edema
BACKGROUND T2-Weighted (T2W) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pulse sequences have been used to detect edema in patients with acute myocardial infarction and differentiate acute from chronic infarction. T2W sequences have suffered from several problems including (i) signal intensity variability caused by phased array coils, (ii) high signal from slow moving ventricular chamber blood that can mi...
