MRI Measurements of T2-Relaxation in a Rat Optic Nerve
Detailed Transverse relaxation time (T2) MRI imaging studies of a rat optic nerve model were performed in order to elucidate the effect of axonal regeneration in an optic nerve after traumatic injury. After rats were subjected to left optic nerve crush, a Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) imaging sequence was used to acquire T2 relaxation decay curves from both the crushed left optic nerve (LOP)...
متن کاملCartilage MRI T2 relaxation time mapping: overview and applications.
The sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging to biochemical and biophysical changes in the extracellular matrix of articular cartilage give it the potential to noninvasively detect the earliest changes of cartilage damage. The transverse relaxation time (T2) of cartilage has been shown to be a sensitive parameter for evaluation of early degeneration in articular cartilage, particularly changes...
متن کاملMRI relaxation parameters predict functional outcome after experimental myocardial infarction
Background Characterization of infarcted myocardial tissue by current cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) methods is predominantly carried out after i.v. application of Gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agents (CA). However, recent advances in CMR enable the acquisition of parametric maps making use of endogenous tissue properties for diagnostic purposes, which may supersede the need for injec...
متن کاملReproducibility of three different cardiac T2-mapping sequences at 1.5T and impact of cofactors on T2-relaxation times
PURPOSE To elucidate the impact of technical and intraindividual reproducibility on the overall variability of myocardial T2 relaxation times. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty healthy volunteers were examined three times (day 1 morning/evening, evening after 2-3 weeks) at 1.5T. During each examination three different T2 -mapping sequences were acquired twice at three slices in short axis view: mu...
متن کاملIn vivo measurement of T2 relaxation times in mouse brain at 17.6 Tesla
Introduction: Transverse (T2) proton (H) magnetic resonance (MR) relaxation time plays an important role in clinics since it has a potential to distinguish different tissue types such as healthy tissue from pathological tissue [1, 2, 3]. Mice are routinely used as models for studying human brain disorders and the present trend in in vivo mouse brain MRI is to move toward ultra-high magnetic fie...
