Constructive interference in steady state imaging of moyamoya disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The diagnostic accuracy of three-dimensional constructive interference in steady state (CISS) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was evaluated for the assessment of idiopathic moyamoya disease. Six consecutive patients underwent MR angiography, CISS imaging, and digital subtraction angiography. MR angiography and CISS imaging visualization of the steno-occlusive changes in the distal internal carotid arteries and the development of moyamoya vessels in the basal cistern were compared to the results obtained by digital subtraction angiography. MR angiography revealed the steno-occlusive changes correctly in nine and overestimated the changes in three of 12 hemispheres examined. CISS imaging showed the steno-occlusive changes defined as decreased caliber of the internal carotid artery correctly in two, underestimated the changes in nine, and overestimated the changes in one of the 12 hemispheres. MR angiography detected moyamoya vessels correctly in five and underestimated the vessels in seven of the 12 hemispheres. CISS imaging revealed the moyamoya vessels correctly in 10, underestimated the vessels in one, and overestimated the vessels in one of the 12 hemispheres. CISS imaging can supplement MR angiography in the non-invasive diagnosis of moyamoya disease, especially for the evaluation of moyamoya vessels.

متن کاملIdentification of the normal jugular foramen and lower cranial nerve anatomy: contrast-enhanced 3D fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition MR imaging.
SUMMARY Conventional imaging protocols are unable to visualize the intraforaminal/canalicular segments of the lower cranial nerves (IX-XII). On the basis of previous successful demonstration of individual cranial nerves within the cavernous sinus by constructive interference in steady-state MR imaging, we describe the use of contrast-enhanced 3D fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition M...

Moyamoya disease is a progressive cerebrovascular occlusive disease that primarily affects children. The cause is unknown. We examined the production of prostanoids and the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in cultured arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) derived from patients with moyamoya disease. Twelve moyamoya and 8 control cell strains were examined. The steady-state levels of prostan...

make up less than 2% of all intracranial space-occupying lesions (1). They are most commonly located in the cerebellopontine angle cistern, which accounts for approximately 40-50% of all intracranial epidermoid cysts, and this is followed by the parasellar region. Epidermoid cysts involving the cavernous sinus are very rare and they can be divided into 3 categories according to their location; ...
