MR perfusion measurements on pharyngeal tumors: Comparison of quantification strategies
For the case of pharyngeal carcinomas, the clinical value as well as the stability of several evaluation methods of MR tomographic perfusion measurement are compared. Eighteen patients suffering from histologically proven squamous cell carcinomas were investigated by MR tomography (1.5 T, 0.2 mmol/kg Gd-DTPA) prior to and during radiation therapy. Perfusion measurements were performed using a d...
متن کاملMyocardial 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 کاملDirect Comparison of Dynamic Susceptibility Weighted MR Perfusion with CT Perfusion in Brain Tumors
Introduction: Contrast Agents (CAs) are widely used as indicators to study quantitative perfusion and Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) permeability in MRI, and are useful in characterizing pathology [1]. A common assumption is that the relationship between longitudinal relaxation rate change and Gd concentration is linear. In general, this assumption depends on the size of the molecules to which the G...
متن کاملQuantification of pharyngeal articulations using measurements from laryngoscopic images
One difficulty in the physical observation of articulatory structures in the pharynx is the reliability of measurements for comparative purposes. The objective of the present approach is to review and explore techniques of identifying and measuring degrees of adjustment of the pharyngeal articulatory mechanism in the production of auditorily controlled settings. Anatomical landmarks are identif...
