Brain Tumour Imaging
There is now a plethora of different imaging techniques used for diagnosing and treating brain tumours. Different contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging – coupled with amino acid tracers used in positron emission tomography – are the new weapons in radiologists’ armoury which allow them to target and measure tumours more accurately. Brain tumours are among the top causes of tumour-relate...
متن کاملThe Benefits and implementations of Diffusion tensor imaging and Neural Fiber Tractography in Brain Surgery
Background and Aim: The methods for detecting brain activation with fMRI, MRI provides a way to measure the anatomical connections which enable lightning-fast communication among neurons that specialize in different kinds of brain functions. Diffusion tensor imaging is able to measure the direction of bundles of the axonal fibers which are all aligned. Besides mapping white matter fiber tracts,...
متن کاملImaging patients with suspected brain tumour: guidance for primary care.
The number of referrals by primary care practitioners to secondary care neurology services, particularly for headache, may be difficult to justify. Access to imaging by primary care practitioners could avoid referral without compromising patient outcomes, but the decision to refer is based on a number of complex factors. Due to the paucity of rigorous evidence in this area, available data are c...
متن کامل23Na SPRITE in vivo Human Brain Tumour Imaging
Introduction Sodium is the most abundant MR-active nucleus in biological tissue after protons. Its very highly regulated concentration in biological tissue, combined with its large variations between healthy and diseased states, make it a very attractive nucleus to image. The development of SPRITE imaging [1] has progressed rapidly in the past few years and much of this work has been driven by ...
متن کاملIranian Brain Imaging Database: A Neuropsychiatric Database of Healthy Brain
Introduction: The Iranian Brain Imaging Database (IBID) was initiated in 2017, with 5 major goals: provide researchers easy access to a neuroimaging database, provide normative quantitative measures of the brain for clinical research purposes, study the aging profile of the brain, examine the association of brain structure and function, and join the ENIGMA consortium. Many prestigious databases...
