Magnetization 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 کاملDiffusion-weighted EPI with magnetization transfer contrast.
Capabilities of diffusion-weighted (DW) and magnetization transfer (MT) imaging are well established for tissue characterization in various pathologies individually. However, the effect of suppression of macromolecules on applying MT pulse on signals associated with DW imaging and resulting change in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of water molecules has not been demonstrated previousl...
متن کاملMagnetization transfer imaging of the pituitary gland.
Magnetization transfer (MT) techniques provide tissue contrast which depends mainly on the concentration of macromolecules. The magnetization transfer phenomenon is determined by the restricted macromolecular protons and is quantified by the magnetization transfer ratio (MTR). Since many macromolecular structures are implicated in the secretory activity of the pituitary gland, this imaging tech...

Session IX: Friday, February 2, 2007 307. MAGNETIZATION TRANSFER IN CARDIAC TRUEFISP IMAGING Oliver M. Weber, PhD, Klaus Scheffler, PhD, Oliver Bieri, PhD. University of Basel, Switzerland, Basel, Switzerland. Introduction: Recently, we showed that the rapid succession of high flip angle RF pulses in conventional balanced steady state free precession (bSSFP) sequences causes an on-resonancemagn...
متن کاملPulsed magnetization transfer spin-echo MR imaging.
Cross relaxation between macromolecular protons and water protons is known to be important in biologic tissue. In magnetic resonance (MR) imaging sequences, selective saturation of the characteristically short T2 macromolecular proton pool can produce contrast called magnetization transfer contrast, based on the cross-relaxation process. Selective saturation can be achieved with continuous wave...
