Recent Advances in PET-MR Hybrid contrast agent
Introduction: All of the Imaging modalities have advantages and disadvantages alone. So if we want to have the best and perfect image, combining these modalities produces something we desired. PET-MR images consist of morphologic and metabolic data. MRI and PET provide high spatial and contrast resolution and high sensitivity and molecular information respectively. Hybrid PET-...
متن کاملMRI Contrast Agent: Magnetic Property Characterization by SQUID Magnetometry
Introduction Ultra-short, single-walled carbon nanotube capsules internalized with paramagnetic gadolinium-ion clusters (Gadonanotubes), see Figure 1, possess the unusual ability to cause marked shortening of both T1 and T2 (1,2). In this work we report the magnetic properties of the Gadonanotubes that underlie the significantly shortened T1 and T2 * relaxation times. Thus, the Gadonanotubes re...
متن کاملInhaled oxygen: a brain MR contrast agent?
Oxygen inhalation led to subtle but readily detectable changes on T2*-weighted images with a conventional MR imager at 1.5 T. We attribute the increase in local signal intensity to changes in blood oxygenation, in particular to a net conversion of deoxyhemoglobin to oxyhemoglobin.
متن کاملSuperparamagnetic Iron Oxide MION: A Contrast Agent for 23Na Cardiac MRI in Myocardial Infarction
Introduction: Sodium imaging is uniquely capable in detecting signal elevations associated with non-viable myocardium after acute infarction and reperfusion [l]. Clinical applications of 23Na MRI, however, are limited by the low in viva concentrations and NMR sensitivity of endogenous sodium, manifested by the coarse spatial resolution of the reconstructed images. In addition to the low spatial...
متن کاملBasic MR relaxation mechanisms and contrast agent design.
The diagnostic capabilities of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have undergone continuous and substantial evolution by virtue of hardware and software innovations and the development and implementation of exogenous contrast media. Thirty years since the first MRI contrast agent was approved for clinical use, a reliance on MR contrast media persists, largely to improve image quality with higher ...
