Myocardial perfusion SPECT: Perfusion quantification
Different software tools for quantification of myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) studies are routinely used. Several perfusion parameters can be computed automatically. Interpretation of the MPS should start with visual inspection of the rotating planar images, visual analysis of reconstructed SPECT slices and then quantitative analysis to confirm the visual impression. Quantification should be...
متن کاملAutomatic estimation of renal cortical thickness using MRI perfusion curves
Introduction: The kidney is formed fundamentally by two zones: cortex and medulla [1]. The thinning of renal cortex has been recognized as a determinant of kidney function, in fact, in patients with chronic renal deseases the lost of cortical tissue is sign of a poor outcome [2]. For this reason it is important to have a tool that would allow measuring the cortical thickness. This could be usef...
متن کاملRegional/perfusion analgesia.
Regional/perfusion analgesia involves the injection of a local analgesic solution into the vein of a limb which has been made ischemic by a tourniquet. Such analgesia is most useful for operations on the arms but can be used in the leg. The following is a review of this method of analgesia, including a general review of local analgesic drug effects and methods of treatment. At our hospital,* we...
متن کاملRegional perfusion imaging using pTILT.
PURPOSE To demonstrate the feasibility that the pseudo-continuous transfer insensitive labeling technique (pTILT) sequence can be modified to achieve regional perfusion imaging by either vessel-encoded or vessel-selective pTILT, similar to the regional perfusion imaging sequences using pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL). MATERIALS AND METHODS Static phantom experiments were carr...
متن کاملPerfusion pressure dependency of in vivo renal tubular dynamics.
To examine whether changes in renal perfusion pressure (RPP) within the range of autoregulation induce detectable changes in tubular dynamics in an entire nephron population of the intact kidney, we measured, using electron beam computed tomography (EBCT), transit times (TT, s) and intratubular concentration (%) of filterable contrast media in various nephron segments simultaneously with renal ...
