Feasibility of ultra-high-dimensional flow imaging for rapid pediatric cardiopulmonary MRI

چکیده
Background A comprehensive congenital cardiac MRI exam with contrast enhancement typically consists of multiple scans to evaluate dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE) characteristics, physiological function, blood flow, and anatomical assessment. However, multiple sequences require skilled operators, prolong the exam, and lengthen anesthesia duration for uncooperative patients. Thus, we propose a single comprehensive 5D flow volumetric acquisition for a simpler and shorter cardiac exam. This technique resolves the cardiac cycle (1D), contrast dynamics (1D), and flow velocities for 3D volumes. The feasibility of the proposed 5D flow method is demonstrated for cardiopulmonary imaging.

Ultra-Fast Image Reconstruction of Tomosynthesis Mammography Using GPU
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...

Background: To date, several imaging techniques to track stem cells are used such as positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), Bioluminescence imaging (BLI), fluorescence imaging, CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although, overall sensitivity of MRI compared to SPECT and Bioluminescence techniques are lower, but due to high spatial reso...

We use ultra-fast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to characterise hydrodynamics during pulsing flow in trickle-bed reactors. One-dimensional (1-D) liquid holdup profiles along the flow direction were acquired using Fast Low Angle SHot (FLASH) MRI at spatial and temporal resolutions of 352 μm pixel and 3.3 ms, respectively. Liquid pulse properties such as pulse velocity, duration and frequency ...
