Black-blood dynamic contrast-enhanced carotid artery wall MRI with SRDIR preparation
Background Inflammation plays a major role in atherosclerotic plaque progression and disruption [1]. Dynamic gadolinium contrast-enhanced (DCE) vessel wall imaging has been used to compute a set of contrast kinetic parameters that may characterize the extent of inflammation of carotid plaques [2-4]. However, previous DCE techniques are limited to a 2D bright-blood acquisition and thus the accur...
متن کاملDynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI Detects Progression of Inflammation in a Rabbit Model of Atherosclerosis
Introduction: Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI provides the ability to characterize tissue vascularity and permeability by measuring kinetic parameters such as the fractional plasma volume vp, the transfer constant Ktrans, or the area under the enhancement versus time curve (AUC). In atherosclerotic plaque, these parameters were found to be strongly influenced by inflammatory activity charac...
متن کاملBlack-blood dynamic contrast-enhanced coronary artery wall MRI: a potential tool for kinetic-modeling-based wall inflammation assessment
Background Dynamic gadolinium contrast-enhanced (DCE) vessel wall MRI has recently been used to compute a set of model-based contrast kinetic parameters (e.g. K and Vp) that can well characterize the extent of inflammation in carotid plaques [1,2]. However, no studies have shown its feasibility in coronary artery wall, presumably due to the technical challenges in imaging such a constantly-movi...
متن کاملExtended graphical model for analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI.
Kinetic analysis with mathematical models has become increasingly important to quantify physiological parameters in computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI). The modified Kety/Tofts model and the graphical (Patlak) model have been widely applied to DCE-MRI results in disease processes such as cancer, inflammation, and ischemia. In...
