Real-Time MRI-Guided Catheter Tracking Using Hyperpolarized Silicon Particles
Visualizing the movement of angiocatheters during endovascular interventions is typically accomplished using x-ray fluoroscopy. There are many potential advantages to developing magnetic resonance imaging-based approaches that will allow three-dimensional imaging of the tissue/vasculature interface while monitoring other physiologically-relevant criteria, without exposing the patient or clinici...
متن کاملIn vivo magnetic resonance imaging of hyperpolarized silicon particles.
Silicon-based micro- and nanoparticles have gained popularity in a wide range of biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability in vivo, as well as their flexible surface chemistry, which allows drug loading, functionalization and targeting. Here, we report direct in vivo imaging of hyperpolarized (29)Si nuclei in silicon particles by magnetic resonance imaging. Natu...
متن کاملHyperpolarized Xenon Brain MRI
Since hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI was first demonstrated in the lung, air space imaging using hyperpolarized noble gases (129Xe and 3He) has progressed at a rapid rate (Goodson, 2002; Zhou, 2011c). Owing to high lipid solubility, absence of background signal in biological tissue, non-invasiveness, lack of radioactivity, different relaxation to oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, and larger chemical...
متن کاملHyperpolarized xenon for NMR and MRI applications.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and imaging (MRI) suffer from intrinsic low sensitivity because even strong external magnetic fields of ~10 T generate only a small detectable net-magnetization of the sample at room temperature (1). Hence, most NMR and MRI applications rely on the detection of molecules at relative high concentration (e.g., water for imaging of biological tissue) o...
متن کاملCardiovascular Applications of Hyperpolarized MRI
Many applications of MRI are limited by an inherently low sensitivity. Previous attempts to overcome this insensitivity have focused on the use of MRI systems with stronger magnetic fields. However, the gains that can be achieved in this way are relatively small and increasing the magnetic field invariably leads to greater technical challenges. More recently, the development of a range of techn...
