distribution of intravascular and extravascular extracellular volume fractions by total area under curve for neovascularization assessment by dynamic contrast‑enhanced magnetic resonance imaging

چکیده
in this paper, we propose and investigate distribution of intravascular and extravascular extracellular volume fractions (dieef) as a noninvasive biomarker for neovascularization assessment by dynamic contrast‑enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (dce‑mri). a generalized two‑compartment exchange model (g2cxm) that uniformly includes the patlak model, tofts model, extended tofts model, and recent two‑compartment exchange model as special instances is first presented. based on the total area under curve of the g2cxm a method of dieef estimation without knowing the artery input function is proposed. the mean square error of dieef estimate in the presence of noise and with incomplete dce‑mri data is analyzed. simulation results demonstrate that dieef estimate is accurate when signal to noise ratio is only 5 db in both cases of tracer infusion and bolus injection, and slightly favors the bolus injection. tested on a model of atherosclerotic rabbits, the dieef of aorta plaques is positively correlated with the histological neovessel count with correlation coefficient of 0.940 and p = 0.017, and outperforms six semiquantitative parameters in the literature. dieef might be useful as a biomarker for noninvasive neovascularization assessment by dce‑mri.

15 صفحه اولAssessment of Organ Specific Iron Overload in Transfusion-dependent Thalassemia by Magnetic Resonance Imaging Techniques
The consequence of repeated blood transfusions in thalassemia is iron overload in different organs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a reliable, non-invasive and accurate method for iron detection in various tissues, hence the introduction of MRI has revolutionized the management of these patients and improved the life expectancy of them. Cardiac MRI T2* has a profound effect not only on est...
متن کاملExtracellular volume imaging by magnetic resonance imaging provides insights into overt and sub-clinical myocardial pathology.
AIMS Conventional late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance can detect myocardial infarction and some forms of non-ischaemic myocardial fibrosis. However, quantitative imaging of extracellular volume fraction (ECV) may be able to detect subtle abnormalities such as diffuse fibrosis or post-infarct remodelling of remote myocardium. The aims were (1) to measure ECV in myocardia...
