Water- and fat-suppressed proton projection MRI (WASPI) of rat femur bone.
Investigators often study rats by microCT to investigate the pathogenesis and treatment of skeletal disorders in humans. However, microCT measurements provide information only on bone mineral content and not the solid matrix. CT scans are often carried out on cancellous bone, which contains a significant volume of marrow cells, stroma, water, and fat, and thus the apparent bone mineral density ...
متن کاملFat-Suppressed and Distortion-Corrected MRI Near Metallic Implants
Introduction: The use of orthopedic implants including joint replacements and fixation devices is increasingly common, necessitating follow-up evaluation to assess possible complications such as loosening or infection. Due to metal-induced distortion and other artifacts on conventional MRI, follow-up is often limited to Xray images. With additional encoding and parallel imaging, MR images with ...
متن کاملCombined fat- and water-suppressed MR imaging of orbital tumors.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The use of a high-resolution T2-weighted MR sequence, which suppresses signal from both fat and water, has been shown to be highly effective for depicting areas of inflammatory damage within the optic nerve. The ability of this sequence to show neoplastic and inflammatory orbital lesions, which may mimic neuritis, is unknown. This study was designed to examine the charact...
متن کاملQuantification of intra-abdominal fat during controlled weight reduction: assessment using the water-suppressed breath-hold MRI technique.
A group of 14 healthy female subjects was studied using MRI during 2 months of life-style intervention. A series of 21 water-suppressed images was used to determine the intra-abdominal fat volume before and after the controlled loss of weight. The average weight decrease was 8.2 %, but the average relative loss of visceral fat was 20.3 %, whereas subcutaneous fat decreased by 13.4 %. A small bu...
متن کاملMeasurement of fat/water ratios in rat liver using 3D three-point dixon MRI.
Hepatic steatosis, or fatty liver, is commonly observed during the animal phase of drug safety studies. A noninvasive three-dimensional (3D) three-point Dixon method was used to quantitatively evaluate the fatty livers of rats induced by an experimental microsomal transfer protein (MTP) inhibitor, in an effort to develop a safety biomarker that could be translated to human studies. The method w...
