چکیده
Figure 2. Normalized signal intensities as a function of time, for the phantom illustrated in figure 1. Solid, short dashed and long dashed lines represent the signal intensities measured in the supply line, right maxillary sinus, and left maxillary sinus respectively. The signals were normalized to the peak intensity of the supply line. Left os size: 12 mm. Right os size: 113 mm. MRI of Hyperpolarized He-3 Gas in Porcine Paranasal Sinuses

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Central Nervous System and Paranasal Sinuses in Multiple Sclerosis Patients: Findings from a Survey of Clinical Records in Kermanshah Province
Background and Objectives: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common demyelinating disease of the central nervous system with more than 5.2 million people across the world being afflicted with. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a valuable tool in the diagnosis of MS. This study surveys the results of MRI of the central nervous system and paranasal sinuses in the sample of MS patients in Ker...

Background: Imaging abnormalities in the paranasal sinuses are regularly noted as incidental findings on MRI, however, little is known about their prevalence in the Iranian population. The purpose of this study was to classify these findings in the paranasal sinuses as seen on MRI and to investigate the prevalence, according to site and type of paranasal abnormality.Methods: In this cross-secti...
متن کاملHyperpolarized Gas MRI of the Lungs
The hyperpolarized gases 3 He and 129 Xe are prepared with a magnetization that is 100,000-fold larger than what could be attained by simple thermal equilibrium. This extraordinary magnetization overcomes the low density of these gases and permits them to be imaged with high spatial and temporal resolution. The principles of gas hyperpolarization have been reviewed in a very accessible manner b...
متن کاملPulmonary ventilation visualized using hyperpolarized helium-3 and xenon-129 magnetic resonance imaging: differences in COPD and relationship to emphysema.
In subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hyperpolarized xenon-129 ((129)Xe) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveals significantly greater ventilation defects than hyperpolarized helium-3 ((3)He) MRI. The physiological and/or morphological determinants of ventilation defects and the differences observed between hyperpolarized (3)He and (129)Xe MRI are not yet understood. H...
متن کاملEvaluating bronchodilator effects in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using diffusion-weighted hyperpolarized helium-3 magnetic resonance imaging.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the regional effects of bronchodilator administration in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using hyperpolarized helium-3 ((3)He) MRI apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). Ten COPD ex-smokers provided written, informed consent and underwent diffusion-weighted, hyperpolarized (3)He MRI, spirometry, and plethysmography before and 25 ± 2 min af...
