MR Diagnosis of Bone Metastases at 1.5 T and 3 T: Can STIR Imaging Be Omitted?
OBJECTIVE To date, no prospective comparative study of the diagnostic value of STIR versus T1-weighted (T1w) sequences at both 1.5 T and 3 T has been performed with special focus on the detectability of bone metastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS 212 oncological patients had a whole-body MRI at 1.5 T and/or at 3 T. The standard protocol comprised STIR and T1w sequences. All patients who showed typ...
متن کاملCardiovascular MR imaging at 3 T: opportunities, challenges, and solutions.
Although 3-T magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is well established in neuroradiology and musculoskeletal imaging, it is in the nascent stages in cardiovascular imaging applications, and there is limited literature on this topic. The primary advantage of 3 T over 1.5 T is a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which can be used as such or traded off to improve spatial or temporal resolution and dec...
متن کاملIn vivo Mr imaging at 21.1 T
In vivo magnetic resonance (Mr) imaging and spectroscopy are expanding our capability to observe and investigate many biomedical processes without invasive interventions. The unique 900-Mhz ultra-wide bore (uWB) 21.1 tesla magnet built at the Magnet lab in Tallahassee provides unprecedented opportunities to examine living systems. in this report, we present our first experiences and the results...
متن کاملThe Role of Bone Marrow Aspiration and Bone Marrow Biopsy in Diagnosis of Bone Marrow Metastases
Background: Bone marrow is the site of many malignant disorders and it is one of the common places for solid tumors to metastasize. Examination of the bone marrow aspirate and biopsy is a routine procedure performed for assessment of various conditions such as cytopenias, hematologic neoplasms, nonmalignant disorders and metastatic neoplasms. Methods: The patients were referred to the Hema...
متن کاملQuantification of Fatty Acid Compositions Using MR-imaging and Spectroscopy at 3 T
Introduction Multi-echo imaging has previously been used for fat/water separation and fat quantification [1,2]. The same technique may potentially also be able to differentiate different fat types depending on the amount of unsaturated fatty acids. The fatty acid composition of adipose tissue is not only dependent on the diet, but may also be interesting in e.g. chronic inflammations [3]. Also,...
