Contrast Agents
MRI has become a very important tool for clinical diagnosis of disease as well as in biomedical studies for the noninvasive three-dimensional imaging of living subjects and specimens. It can distinguish between various parts of soft tissue water based on differences in the longitudinal relaxation time (T1), the transverse relaxation time (T2), the apparent transverse relaxation time (T2*) and t...
متن کاملImpact of contrast agents on dose algorıthms of planning systems
Background: Use of contrast agents (CAs) during CT simulation for treatment planing system leads to changes in electron density. In this study we aimed to investigate the effect on calculated dose of various concentrations of CAs on treatment planing systems in different dose calculation algorithms. Materials and Methods: Contrast agent (0.769 mg/ml Iopromid) - water mixtures at con...
متن کاملGene delivery using ultrasound contrast agents.
With the human genome product and continuing advances in molecular biology many therapeutic genes have been discovered. In the cardiovascular system, gene therapy has the potential to improve myocardial vascularization and ameliorate congestive heart failure. For successful development of clinical gene therapy, however, effective gene delivery vectors are needed. Ultrasound contrast agents can ...
متن کاملCommon MicroCT Contrast Agents
Iodine-based agents such as Isovue and Omnipaque. These contrast agents are used in humans primarily for visualizing vasculature and urinary tract, but may be useful for imaging other organs as well. They are small molecules, rapidly excreted through the kidneys, providing intense contrast in the kidneys and bladder. They can be dosed IP as a way to create contrast outside of organs such as the...
متن کاملLiver-specific contrast agents
In the patient with cancer, magnetic resonance imaging is increasingly used as a diagnostic tool for disease detection, lesion characterization, as well as the assessment of treatment response. Although non-contrast T1-weighted and T2-weighted imaging, together with low molecular weight extracellular gadolinium contrast-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging remain the cornerstone for ...
