Autofluorescence imaging – a useful adjunct in imaging macular trauma
Autofluorescence imaging is a rapid, noninvasive technique, with several applications becoming slowly integrated into ophthalmic clinical practice. We describe its use as a valuable tool for predicting the function of the retinal pigment epithelium following damage from blunt ocular trauma.
متن کاملcontrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in sacroiliitis
conclusion fs t2 w and ce fs t1 w sequences of axial planes were the most useful sequences in determination of active sacroiliitis. therefore, in patients with renal failure or allergy to contrast media, fs t2 wi can be obtained to detect active sacroiliitis. objectives the aim of this retrospective study was to assess the value of different magnetic resonance imaging (mri) sequences in evaluat...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of contrast enhanced transcranial Doppler signal using galactose based echo-contrast agent in dogs.
Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) is hindered by insufficient ultrasound penetration through the temporal bone. The use of echo-contrast agents to enhance the Doppler signal is an important step toward the solution of this problem. The aim of the present study was to investigate the tolerability and diagnostic value of the intravenous echo-contrast agent, Levovist. Levovist was adminis...
متن کاملImaging CSF Flow using Spin Echo Phase Contrast Velocity Encoded MRI at 3T
Introduction: Flow sensitive MRI techniques are typically based on gradient echo (GE) imaging. Such techniques are well validated, offer robust image quality, and are relatively insensitive to artefacts related to sources of field inhomogeneities. However, GE offers a relatively low SNR, particularly for imaging cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) which has a long T1 relaxation time and thus low signal a...
متن کاملEcho-power estimation from log-compressed video data in dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging.
Ultrasound (US) scanners typically apply lossy, non-linear modifications to the US data for visualization purposes. The resulting images are then stored as compressed video data. Some system manufacturers provide dedicated software for quantification purposes to eliminate such processing distortions, at least partially. This is currently the recommended approach for quantitatively assessing cha...
