Rapid 3D-Sodium MRI of Knee Joint In-vivo at 7T
Introduction Loss of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) is a signature of early osteoarthritis (OA). Although sodium MRI has been shown to correlate linearly with GAG concentration (1, 2), it poses major challenges at clinical magnetic field strengths (1.5T/3.0T) in terms of low signal-to-noise (SNR), poor spatial resolution and long acquisition times due to low natural abundance, low sodium concentratio...
متن کاملIn vivo triple-quantum (TQ) sodium MRI on the human brain: SNR benefits at 7T
INTRODUCTION Triple quantum (TQ) sodium imaging is an effective means decreasing the contribution from the intracellular and fluid spaces to the sodium (Na) signal. This increased intra-cellular contrast is highly desirable for the study of pathologies such as cancer and stroke. The sodium TQ signal is, however, much weaker than the single quantum (SQ, or total tissue) signal (~1/10). It is, th...
متن کاملStructural Layers of Ex Vivo Rat Hippocampus at 7T MRI
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applied to the hippocampus is challenging in studies of the neurophysiology of memory and the physiopathology of numerous diseases such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, ischemia, and depression. The hippocampus is a well-delineated cerebral structure with a multi-layered organization. Imaging of hippocampus layers is limited to a few studies and requires high m...
متن کاملCardiac MRI at 7T
In the brain, results have been shown at 7T that are not achievable at lower field strengths. Cardiac imaging at 7T offers similar headline benefits to those images of the brain. More field strength gives more SNR, added to which more field strength increases the T1 and hence increases the effect of contrast agents. This simple idea is appealing in a grant application, but in reality 7T has som...
متن کاملIn Vivo 3D Imaging of Human Lateral Geniculate Nucleus using Optimized Inversion Recovery Sequence at 3T and 7T
[Introduction] Lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) functions as a thalamic relay station in the projection of visual pathway from retinal ganglion cells to the primary visual cortex. A recent MR imaging study of human LGN in vivo demonstrated that the height of LGN is smaller in glaucoma patients than normal (those without glaucoma) subjects [1]. This study implies that morphometry of LGN is an im...
