Magnetization transfer imaging reveals the brain deficit in patients with treatment-refractory depression.
BACKGROUND Studies on treatment resistant depression (TRD) using advanced magnetic resonance imaging techniques are very limited. METHODS A group of 15 patients with clinically defined TRD and 15 matched healthy controls underwent magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) and T1-weighted (T1W) imaging. MTI data were processed and analyzed voxel-wised in SPM2. A voxel based morphometric (VBM) analy...
متن کاملPathological Assessment of Brain White Matter in Relapsing-Remitting MS Patients using Quantitative Magnetization Transfer Imaging
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by lesions in the white matter (WM) of the central nervous system. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most specific and sensitive method for diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. However, the ability of conventional MRI to show histopathologic heterogeneity of MS lesions is insufficient. Quantitative magnetization transfer imaging (qMTI) is a rel...
متن کاملMagnetization transfer imaging of the pituitary gland.
Magnetization transfer (MT) techniques provide tissue contrast which depends mainly on the concentration of macromolecules. The magnetization transfer phenomenon is determined by the restricted macromolecular protons and is quantified by the magnetization transfer ratio (MTR). Since many macromolecular structures are implicated in the secretory activity of the pituitary gland, this imaging tech...
متن کاملMagnetization transfer contrast imaging of hepatic neoplasms.
A method of performing magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) using a pulse sequence based on a series of on-resonance binomial pulses preceding a conventional spin-echo sequence has been recently described. We investigated this technique in the evaluation of circumscribed hepatic neoplasms on a 0.5 T imager. Conventional spin-echo imaging was performed in 18 patients with hepatic neoplasms, 15 ...

University of Basel, Switzerland, Basel, Switzerland. Introduction: Recently, we showed that the rapid succession of high flip angle RF pulses in conventional balanced steady state free precession (bSSFP) sequences causes an on-resonancemagn...
