Assessment of Organ Specific Iron Overload in Transfusion-dependent Thalassemia by Magnetic Resonance Imaging Techniques
The consequence of repeated blood transfusions in thalassemia is iron overload in different organs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a reliable, non-invasive and accurate method for iron detection in various tissues, hence the introduction of MRI has revolutionized the management of these patients and improved the life expectancy of them. Cardiac MRI T2* has a profound effect not only on est...
متن کاملAssessment of Intratumoral Micromorphology for Patients with Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Using Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging
BACKGROUND Multiple treatment options exist for the management of renal cell carcinomas. Preoperative evaluation of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CRCC) grades is important for deciding upon the appropriate method of therapy. We hypothesize that susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) is sensitive enough to detect intratumoral microvessles and microbleeding in renal cell carcinoma, which can be...
متن کاملsensitivity of susceptibility-weighted imaging in detecting superparamagnetic iron oxide-labeled mesenchymal stem cells: a comparative study
background susceptibility-weighted imaging (swi) is extremely sensitive in the detection of superparamagnetic iron oxide (spio) nanoparticle-labeled cells. however, no study has compared molecular imaging for stem cell detection using swi and other mri pulse sequences. objectives this study aims to assess the sensitivity of swi in detecting spio nanoparticle-labeled, human bone marrow-derived m...
متن کاملEvaluating Hemorrhage in Renal Cell Carcinoma Using Susceptibility Weighted Imaging
BACKGROUND Intratumoral hemorrhage is a frequent occurrence in renal cell carcinoma and is an indicator of tumor subtype. We hypothesize that susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) is sensitive to hemorrhage in renal cell carcinoma and can give a more diagnostic image when compared to conventional imaging techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of 32 patients with clear cell r...
متن کاملSusceptibility weighted imaging (SWI).
Susceptibility differences between tissues can be utilized as a new type of contrast in MRI that is different from spin density, T1-, or T2-weighted imaging. Signals from substances with different magnetic susceptibilities compared to their neighboring tissue will become out of phase with these tissues at sufficiently long echo times (TEs). Thus, phase imaging offers a means of enhancing contra...
