Pathological Assessment of Brain White Matter in Relapsing-Remitting MS Patients using Quantitative Magnetization Transfer Imaging
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by lesions in the white matter (WM) of the central nervous system. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most specific and sensitive method for diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. However, the ability of conventional MRI to show histopathologic heterogeneity of MS lesions is insufficient. Quantitative magnetization transfer imaging (qMTI) is a rel...
متن کاملMagnetization transfer contrast imaging of hepatic neoplasms.
A method of performing magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) using a pulse sequence based on a series of on-resonance binomial pulses preceding a conventional spin-echo sequence has been recently described. We investigated this technique in the evaluation of circumscribed hepatic neoplasms on a 0.5 T imager. Conventional spin-echo imaging was performed in 18 patients with hepatic neoplasms, 15 ...
متن کاملBrain imaging and hepatic encephalopathy.
Novel imaging techniques allow the investigation of structural and functional neuropathology of hepatic encephalopathy in greater detail, but limited techniques are applicable to the clinic. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can rule out other diagnoses and, in MRI, give diagnostic features in widely available sequences. An internationally accepted diagnostic framework th...
متن کاملA study of bipolar disorder using magnetization transfer imaging and voxel-based morphometry.
Bipolar disorder (BP) traditionally has been considered as a recurrent illness with full recovery between episodes, and the absence of neuropathological abnormalities has usually been taken for granted. In recent times, the realization that, for many BP carries a poor prognosis, that cognitive deficits are often persistent and that structural brain abnormalities are detectable with modern imagi...
متن کاملModelling and interpretation of magnetization transfer imaging in the brain
Magnetization transfer contrast has yielded insight into brain tissue microstructure changes across the lifespan and in a range of disorders. This progress has been aided by the development of quantitative magnetization transfer imaging techniques able to extract intrinsic properties of the tissue that are independent of the specifics of the data acquisition. While the tissue properties extract...
