متن کاملQuantitative magnetization transfer imaging of human brain at 7 T
Quantitative magnetization transfer (qMT) imaging yields indices describing the interactions between free water protons and immobile macromolecular protons. These indices include the macromolecular to free pool size ratio (PSR), which has been shown to be correlated with myelin content in white matter. Because of the long scan times required for whole-brain imaging (≈20-30 min), qMT studies of ...
متن کاملQuantitative magnetization transfer imaging of rodent glioma using selective inversion recovery.
Magnetization transfer (MT) provides an indirect means to detect noninvasively variations in macromolecular contents in biological tissues, but, so far, there have been only a few quantitative MT (qMT) studies reported in cancer, all of which used off-resonance pulsed saturation methods. This article describes the first implementation of a different qMT approach, selective inversion recovery (S...
متن کاملPathological Assessment of Brain White Matter in Relapsing-Remitting MS Patients using Quantitative Magnetization Transfer Imaging
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by lesions in the white matter (WM) of the central nervous system. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most specific and sensitive method for diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. However, the ability of conventional MRI to show histopathologic heterogeneity of MS lesions is insufficient. Quantitative magnetization transfer imaging (qMTI) is a rel...
متن کاملOptimized inversion recovery sequences for quantitative T1 and magnetization transfer imaging.
Inversion recovery sequences that vary the inversion time (t(i)) have been employed to determine T(1) and, more recently, quantitative magnetization transfer parameters. Specifically, in previous work, the inversion recovery pulse sequences varied t(i) only while maintaining a constant delay (t(d)) between repetitions. T(1) values were determined by fitting to a single exponential function, and...
