Sources of functional apparent diffusion coefficient changes investigated by diffusion-weighted spin-echo fMRI.
The mechanism behind previously observed changes in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) during brain activation is not well understood. Therefore, we investigated the signal source and spatial specificity of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) ADC changes systematically in the visual cortex of cats using diffusion-weighted (DW) spin-echo (SE) fMRI with b-values of 2, 200, and 800 ...
متن کاملFunctional changes of apparent diffusion coefficient during visual stimulation investigated by diffusion-weighted gradient-echo fMRI
The signal source of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) changes induced by neural activity is not fully understood. To examine this issue, ADC-fMRI in response to a visual stimulus was obtained in isoflurane-anesthetized cats at 9.4 T. A gradient-echo technique was used for minimizing the coupling between diffusion and background field gradients, which was experimentally confirmed. In the sma...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted spin-echo fMRI at 9.4 T: microvascular/tissue contribution to BOLD signal changes.
The nature of vascular contribution to blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast used in functional MRI (fMRI) is poorly understood. To investigate vascular contributions at an ultrahigh magnetic field of 9.4 T, diffusion-weighted fMRI techniques were used in a rat forepaw stimulation model. Tissue and blood T(2) values were measured to optimize the echo time for fMRI. The T(2) of arter...
متن کاملrhabdomyosarcoma metastasis to the breast: appearance on diffusion-weighted imaging and apparent diffusion coefficient sequences
rhabdomyosarcoma is a common primary childhood malignancy that rarely metastasizes to the breast. we report a patient with a primary sinonasal rhabdomyosarcoma metastasizing to the breast, with no distant spread. we describe the imaging appearance of rhabdomyosarcoma on magnetic resonance imaging (mri), particularly on diffusion-weighted imaging (dwi) and apparent diffusion coefficient (adc) se...
متن کاملEvolution of apparent diffusion coefficient, diffusion-weighted, and T2-weighted signal intensity of acute stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Serial study of such MR parameters as diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), ADC with fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (ADC(FLAIR)), and T2-weighted imaging may provide information on the pathophysiological mechanisms of acute ischemic stroke. Our goals were to establish the natural evolution of MR signal intensity characteristics of ac...
