Phase-contrast MR imaging support for the diagnosis of aqueductal stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with aqueductal stenosis (AS) present with various clinical and radiologic features. Conventional MR imaging provides useful information in AS but depends on a subjective evaluation by the neuroradiologist. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the support of the phase-contrast MR imaging (PC-MR imaging) technique (sensitive to CSF flows) for the diagnosis of...
متن کاملMR phase-contrast imaging in pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life-threatening, multifactorial pathophysiological haemodynamic condition, diagnosed when the mean pulmonary arterial pressure equals or exceeds 25 mmHg at rest during right heart catheterization. Cardiac MRI, in general, and MR phase-contrast (PC) imaging, in particular, have emerged as potential techniques for the standardized assessment of cardiovascular fun...
متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis of X linked hydrocephalus without aqueductal stenosis.
The outcome of four successive pregnancies in a woman heterozygous for X linked hydrocephalus is described. The last two were scanned by ultrasound. In one, a good prognosis was given; the fetus was male but there was no evidence of dilated cerebral ventricles. In the other, hydrocephalus was diagnosed. The absence of aqueductal stenosis in this case supports the hypothesis that in this X linke...
متن کاملFlip angle optimization for quantitative phase contrast MR imaging
Background PC-MRI is a noninvasive imaging technique used to measure the velocity of flowing blood in a particular blood vessel with flexible spatial and temporal resolution [1,2]. It is considered the clinical “gold standard” for quantification of blood flow. PC-MRI boasts a variety of established applications in quantifying cardiovascular function and hemodynamics. In particular, this techniq...
