Ultrasound perfusion imaging of the human brain.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Color-coded perfusion maps can be calculated from ultrasound harmonic gray-scale imaging data to analyze brain tissue perfusion. METHODS In 13 healthy volunteers, 2 doses (0.5 and 1.5 mL) of Optison, a perfluoropropane-containing ultrasound contrast agent, were injected intravenously, and they produced a strong increase in echo enhancement in the brain parenchyma. The c...
متن کاملUpdate on brain tumor imaging.
Brain tumor imaging has evolved from a strictly morphology-based discipline to one that encompasses function, physiology, and anatomy, enabled by advances in imaging and computer technology. This review outlines the current imaging standard for patients with brain tumors and summarizes the latest advances in physiology-based imaging methods that complement traditional brain tumor imaging protoc...
متن کاملHarmonic imaging of the human brain. Visualization of brain perfusion with ultrasound.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Through harmonic gray-scale imaging, it is possible to analyze brain tissue perfusion with different ultrasound methods. METHODS In 12 healthy volunteers, 2 doses (0.5 and 1.5 mL) of Optison, a perfluoropropane-containing contrast agent, were injected intravenously and produced a strong increase of brightness in the brain parenchyma. We used harmonic imaging for quantif...
متن کاملUltrasound Imaging of Brain Shunts
The most common treatment for hydrocephalus is to place a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt to divert excess CSF to a re-absorption site and regulate the intracranial pressure. However, CSF shunts have an unacceptably high incidence of occlusions from in-grown tissues. Our project is to explore ultrasound imaging, together with photoelectric excitation to image the occlusions and brain shunts, so...
متن کاملSpurious lung perfusion ventilation defect on planar ventilation-perfusion scan detected by SPECT imaging
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a preventable cause of morbidity and mortality which needs prompt recognition. Ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is a well-established diagnostic test for evaluation of suspected PE. We report a 32-year-old woman with history of rheumatologic disease and acute dyspnea, who was referred for V/Q scintigraphy. The planar images revealed multiple mismatched defects through...
