Vasodilator response assessment in porcine myocardium with magnetic resonance relaxometry.
BACKGROUND This research describes an early preclinical study of the biophysical mechanisms governing changes in myocardial T2 during vasodilation in normal myocardium. METHODS AND RESULTS Theoretical modeling and experimental studies in an instrumented pig model (n=7) provided measures of changes in myocardial T2, relative blood volume (BV), and microcirculation oxygen levels (%O2) during in...
متن کاملAttenuated myocardial vasodilator response in patients with hypertensive hypertrophy revealed by oxygenation-dependent magnetic resonance imaging.
BACKGROUND Oxygen (O(2)) homeostasis is central to myocardial tissue functioning, and increased O(2) demand is thought to be satisfied by a vasodilatory mechanism that results in increased blood and O(2) delivery. We applied blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) MRI in conjunction with vasodilatory stress to index the ability to augment intramyocardial oxygenation in hypertensive hypertrophy...
متن کاملHuman Eye Magnetic Resonance Imaging Relaxometry in Diabetic Retinopathy
Two quantitative ocular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for the clinical use in Ophthalmology and Radiology were developed. Ocular MRI images with spatio-temporal resoultions of 0.78/1.56/2/(5 to 84) mm/mm/mm/s were acquired from patients with diabetic retinopathy and normal subjects using a 1 T MRI system. T1 and T2 MRI relaxometry maps were generated offline from the MRI images acqui...
متن کاملProton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Relaxometry in Soil Science Applications
Proton NMR relaxometry is a very powerful tool for investigating porous media and their interaction with water or other liquids and the mobility and interaction of organic molecules in solution. It is commonly used in material science or earth science. However, it is only scarcely applied in soil science although it shows great potential for helping to understand water uptake into the soil matr...
