Brain segmentation performance using T1-weighted images versus T1 maps
The recent driven equilibrium single-pulse observation of T1 (DESPOT1) approach permits real-time clinical acquisition of large-volume and high-isotropic-resolution T1 mapping of MR tissue parameters with improved uniformity. It is assumed that the quantitative nature of maps will facilitate clinical applications such as disease diagnosis and comparison across subjects. However, there is not ye...
متن کاملAre TrueFISP images T2/T1-weighted?
Images acquired using the TrueFISP technique (true fast imaging with steady-state precession) are generally believed to exhibit T(2)/T(1)-weighting. In this study, it is demonstrated that with the widely used half-flip-angle preparation scheme, approaching the steady state requires a time length comparable to the scan time such that the transient-state response may dominate the TrueFISP image c...
متن کاملRobust T1 mapping in the presence of partial volume effects
Introduction: The longitudinal relaxation time (T1) of tissues plays an important role both as a contrast mechanism for anatomical imaging and as a disease marker. To date, several techniques have been proposed for measuring it (e.g. [1,2]). Most of them are based on modeling monoexponential behavior for individual voxels. Even though brain tissue is considered to exhibit monoexponential T1 beh...
متن کاملA pediatric brain structure atlas from T1-weighted MR images
In this paper, we have developed a digital atlas of the pediatric human brain. Human brain atlases, used to visualize spatially complex structures of the brain, are indispensable tools in model-based segmentation and quantitative analysis of brain structures. However, adult brain atlases do not adequately represent the normal maturational patterns of the pediatric brain, and the use of an adult...
متن کاملRat Mammary Gland Analysis in T1 Weighted MR Images
In studying the relationship between risk factors and breast cancer, growth patterns of the fat pads and glandular tissues are important features. The goal of this small animal study is to measure the size of mammary pads over the time and to quantify the development of glandular structures. To achieve this goal, we propose a hierarchical approach to segmenting out rat body, mammary fat pads an...
