Carbogen gas-challenge blood oxygen level-dependent magnetic resonance imaging in hepatocellular carcinoma: Initial results
The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of performing carbogen gas-challenge blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A total of 25 patients with HCC underwent T2* mapping derived from multi-echo gradient-recalled echo imaging prior to and following breathing carbogen (95% O2 and 5% CO2) for 10...
متن کاملIntrinsic Susceptibility MRI of Chemically-Induced Rat Mammary Tumours: Relationship to Histological Assessment of Hypoxia and Fibrosis
Intrinsic susceptibility MRI is being investigated to provide imaging biomarkers of tumour hypoxia. Deoxyhaemoglobin, which is paramagnetic, creates magnetic susceptibility perturbations, increasing the MRI transverse relaxation rate R2* of water in blood and in the tissue surrounding blood vessels. Gradient Recalled Echo (GRE) MRI methods are sensitive to R2* and thus to blood deoxyhaemoglobin...
متن کاملDetermination of the maturity and functionality of tumor vasculature by MRI: correlation between BOLD-MRI and DCE-MRI using P792 in experimental fibrosarcoma tumors.
Using hypercapnia and carbogen as functional markers of vessel maturation and function, we compared blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) contrast with standard dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI quantitative parameters in murine fibrosarcoma. Our results show that there was no correlation between vessel maturity and contrast-agent uptake rate (K(in) (Trans)) or contrast agent efflux rate (k(ep)...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging of vascular oxygenation changes during hyperoxia and carbogen challenges in the human retina.
PURPOSE To demonstrate blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of vascular oxygenation changes in normal, unanesthetized human retinas associated with oxygen and carbogen challenge. METHODS MRI was performed with a 3-T human scanner and a custom-made surface-coil detector on normal volunteers. BOLD MRI with inversion recovery was used to suppress the vitreous...
متن کاملSaturation of visually evoked BOLD response during carbogen inhalation
Introduction: The BOLD (Blood oxygenation level dependent) signal is inherently ambiguous, reflecting a combination of metabolic and vascular responses. Changes in oxidative metabolism can be estimated from the BOLD signal using calibration methods described previously [1,2]. These calibration procedures typically involve estimating a parameter M, which is equivalent to the maximum possible BOL...
