Method for rapid calculation of quantitative cerebral perfusion

SCALE PWI: A Pulse Sequence for Quantitative Cerebral Perfusion Imaging

INTRODUCTION Quantitative cerebral perfusion is a fundamental physiologic parameter that reflects the severity and progression of a broad range of pathologies including: cancer, stroke, Alzheimer’s Disease, and cerebrovascular occlusive disease. The “Bookend” technique [1,2] allows quantification of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood volume (CBV) with dynamic susceptibility contrast (...

Usefulness of an Automatic Quantitative Method for Measuring Regional Cerebral Blood Flow Using 99mTc Ethyl Cysteinate Dimer Brain Uptake Ratio

 Objective(s): Improved brain uptake ratio (IBUR), employing 99mTc-ethyl cysteinate dimer (99mTc-ECD), is an automatic non-invasive method for quantitatively measuring regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). This method was developed by the reconstruction of the theory and linear regression equation, based on rCBF measurement by H215O positron emission tomography. Clarification of differences in r...

Rapid quantitative detection of Listeria monocytogenes in chicken using direct and combined enrichment/qPCR method

Listeria monocytogenes is a species of foodborne pathogen often related to foods, such as poultry, ready-to-eat products, fruits, and vegetables. The culture method is a standard procedure for the detection of bacteria in food products. The real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) technique can be used for the quantification of foodborne pathogens. The current research was aimed to assess...
