T2 relaxometry of the hippocampus at 3T.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE T2 mapping is useful for identifying and quantifying abnormalities of the hippocampus and amygdala. It is particularly useful in the presurgical evaluation of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and for the identification of bilateral hippocampal sclerosis (HS). The purpose of this study was to implement and validate a dual-echo method for producing coronal T2 maps with ...
متن کاملAutomated T2 relaxometry of the hippocampus for temporal lobe epilepsy
OBJECTIVE Hippocampal sclerosis (HS), the most common cause of refractory temporal lobe epilepsy, is associated with hippocampal volume loss and increased T2 signal. These can be identified on quantitative imaging with hippocampal volumetry and T2 relaxometry. Although hippocampal segmentation for volumetry has been automated, T2 relaxometry currently involves subjective and time-consuming manu...
متن کاملRobust myocardial T2 and T2* mapping at 3T
PURPOSE Intramyocardial hemorrhage and area at risk are both prognostic markers in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Myocardial T2 and T2 * mapping have been used to detect such tissue changes at 1.5T but these techniques are challenging at 3.0T due to additional susceptibility variation. We studied T2 and T2 * myocardial mapping techniques at 3.0T on a system employing B1 shimming and compare...
متن کاملT2-Weighted Liver MRI Using the MultiVane Technique at 3T: Comparison with Conventional T2-Weighted MRI
OBJECTIVE To assess the value of applying MultiVane to liver T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) compared with conventional T2WIs with emphasis on detection of focal liver lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-eight patients (43 men and 35 women) with 86 hepatic lesions and 20 pancreatico-biliary diseases underwent MRI including T2WIs acquired using breath-hold (BH), respiratory-triggered (RT), and M...
متن کاملSelf-navigated three-dimensional cardiac T2 mapping at 3T
Background Cardiac T2 mapping using a variable T2 preparation module (T2Prep) has recently gained attention for its ability to quantify the extent of edema (Giri, JCMR 2009). Due to time constraints, the T2 maps are commonly acquired as one or several two-dimensional slices, while the underlying pathology has a three-dimensional (3D) structure. The next logical step would therefore be to exploi...
