Troubleshooting Arterial-Phase MR Images of Gadoxetate Disodium-Enhanced Liver
Gadoxetate disodium is a widely used magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agent for liver MR imaging, and it provides both dynamic and hepatobiliary phase images. However, acquiring optimal arterial phase images at liver MR using gadoxetate disodium is more challenging than using conventional extracellular MR contrast agent because of the small volume administered, the gadolinium content of the age...
متن کاملMotion artifact suppression technique (MAST) for cranial MR imaging: superiority over cardiac gating for reducing phase-shift artifacts.
A motion artifact suppression technique (MAST) has recently been developed that significantly reduces motion artifacts in conventional 2DFT imaging. The technique utilizes modifications of slice-select and read gradient waveforms to eliminate velocity, acceleration, and pulsatility phase shifts that occur between the 90 degrees pulse and data collection. T2-weighted cranial MAST images were rat...
متن کاملNovel Dynamic Hepatic Magnetic Resonance Imaging Strategy Using Advanced Parallel Acquisition, Rhythmic Breath-Hold Technique, and Gadoxetate Disodium Enhancement.
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate image quality of a dynamic hepatic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging strategy based on advanced parallel acquisition combined with rhythmic breath-hold and gadoxetate disodium enhancement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-seven patients (21 male/6 female; mean age, 57.3 years) were enrolled in this institutional review board-approved study and underwen...
متن کاملMR imaging artifacts produced by dental materials.
This report evaluates a variety of dental materials with respect to MR imaging artifacts and their mechanisms of production. A 0.15-T superconducting system and an MR phantom were used in assessing imaging artifacts. Several in-vivo studies were also carried out. The dental materials were analyzed for composition and magnetic permeability and the results were compared with the artifacts produce...
متن کاملA novel method for assessing arterial endothelial function using phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging: vasoconstriction during reduced shear.
We investigated whether endothelial-dependent arterial constriction during reduced shear can be measured using phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PCMRI). A cross-section of the femoral artery was acquired during a 5-minute distal occlusion in 33 subjects. Systolic shear rate and radius were measured from the velocity profile via a best-fit parabola. Systolic shear rate decreased immedia...
