Quantitative magnetization transfer mapping of bound protons in multiple sclerosis.
Quantitative analysis of magnetization transfer images has the potential to allow a more thorough characterization of the protons, both bound and free, in a tissue by extracting a number of parameters relating to the NMR properties of the protons and their local environment. This work develops previously presented techniques to produce estimates of parameters such as the bound proton fraction, ...
متن کاملHigh resolution Magnetization Transfer Ratio (MTR) mapping in Multiple Sclerosis
Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a condition that affects young adults typically aged 20-40 years, and involves inflammation and demyelination of neural axons in the brain and nervous system. Magnetization transfer (MT) imaging studies the interaction between water and macromolecular (e.g.Protein in Myelin) protons and can be a useful in studying the changes in normal appearing white ma...
متن کاملA Novel Classification Method using Effective Neural Network and Quantitative Magnetization Transfer Imaging of Brain White Matter in Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
Background: Quantitative Magnetization Transfer Imaging (QMTI) is often used to quantify the myelin content in multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions and normal appearing brain tissues. Also, automated classifiers such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) can significantly improve the identification and classification processes of MS clinical datasets.Objective: We classified patients with relapsing-r...
متن کاملEvaluating single-point quantitative magnetization transfer in the cervical spinal cord: Application to multiple sclerosis
Spinal cord (SC) damage is linked to clinical deficits in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), however, conventional MRI methods are not specific to the underlying macromolecular tissue changes that may precede overt lesion detection. Single-point quantitative magnetization transfer (qMT) is a method that can provide high-resolution indices sensitive to underlying macromolecular composition i...
متن کاملNormal-appearing White Matter Quantitative Magnetization Transfer Imaging correlates with Disability in Multiple Sclerosis
Introduction Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, whose neuroradiological hallmark are multifocal white matter (WM) lesions. Several pathological and MRI studies based on quantitative techniques have clearly demonstrated that diffuse abnormalities are present in the normal appearing WM (NAWM) and in lesions, and that they partially explain symptom se...
