USPIO-enhanced dynamic MRI: evaluation of normal and transplanted rat kidneys.
To evaluate first-pass renal perfusion with ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) particles by MRI, 40 normal rats (20 Dark Agouti (DA) rats and 20 Brown Norway (BN) rats) and 16 transplanted rats (12 allografts and four isografts) were studied on day 4 post-transplantation with different USPIO doses (3.0-18.1 mg Fe/kg/body weight). All animals underwent 128 consecutive snapshot fast ...
متن کاملImproving spatiotemporal resolution of USPIO-enhanced dynamic imaging of rat kidneys.
This paper addresses the problem of enhancing spatiotemporal resolution of ultra-small superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO)-enhanced dynamic MRI of rat kidneys. To alleviate the limited resolution problem of conventional full-scan Fourier imaging methods, we use a generalized series-based imaging scheme to reduce coverage of kappa-space. Experimental results demonstrate that the generalized ser...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Dynamic Tissue Perfusion Measurements in Transplanted Kidneys
Background: The dynamic tissue perfusion measurement in renal transplants has demonstrated its potential to correlate microvascular perfusion changes with histologic changes in the renal cortex [1]. Cross sectional studies have shown that the cortical perfusion depends on the time elapsed after transplantation [2,3] but has not yet been applied as a prognostic marker. Therefore, we compared in ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the accuracy of dynamic contrast enhanced MRI in the diagnosis of invasive prostate neoplasm using pathological findings
Background: Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men and the second leading cause of death in all countries of the world. The exact mechanism of prostate cancer is not known. On the other hand, early detection of prostate cancer can lead to a complete cure. Several clinical experiments including Digital Rectum Examination (DRE), biochemistry such as Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), ...
متن کاملStandardization of Radiological Evaluation of Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI
Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI is applied as an adjuvant tool for breast cancer detection, diagnosis, and follow-up of therapy. Despite improvements through the years in achieving higher spatial and temporal resolution, it still suffers from lack of scanning and processing standardization, and consequently, high variability in the radiological evaluation, particularly differentiating malignant f...
