Quantification of blood-brain-barrier permeability dysregulation and inflammatory activity in MS lesions by dynamic-contrast enhanced MR imaging
Objective: Measurement of blood-brain permeability dysfunction in active and chronic MS lesions with T1-weighted dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI to show variation in inflammatory activity Background: blood-brain-barrier perfusion characterization impaired in MS as some studies have shown recently buta comparison between perfusion parameters in contrast-enhanced and non-enhanced lesions not have ...
متن کاملT1-weighted dynamic contrast-enhanced MR evaluation of different stages of neurocysticercosis and its relationship with serum MMP-9 expression.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Epileptogenesis in NCC is associated with perilesional inflammation and disruption in BBB. We quantified BBB in different stages of NCC by using DCE-MR imaging to look for the differences in perfusion indices and to correlate these indices with serum MMP-9 expression. MATERIALS AND METHODS DCE-MR imaging along with conventional MR imaging was performed in 57 single cyst...
متن کاملAssessment of blood–brain barrier disruption using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. A systematic review
There is increasing recognition of the importance of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption in aging, dementia, stroke and multiple sclerosis in addition to more commonly-studied pathologies such as tumors. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) is a method for studying BBB disruption in vivo. We review pathologies studied, scanning protocols and data analysis procedures to determine the range o...
متن کاملAssesment of Blood-Brain Barrier Injury Following Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage by DCE MRI
Introduction: Blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption as well as perihematomal injury and edema are commonly observed as a result of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). BBB injury is potentially an important pathophysiological factor in secondary brain injury caused by ICH [1]. The aim of this study was to detect changes in BBB permeability and quantify BBB injury following acute ICH by us...
متن کاملFocused Ultrasound-Induced Blood-Brain Barrier Opening: Association with Mechanical Index and Cavitation Index Analyzed by Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic-Resonance Imaging
Focused ultrasound (FUS) with microbubbles can temporally open the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and the cavitation activities of microbubbles play a key role in the BBB-opening process. Previous attempts used contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) to correlate the mechanical index (MI) with the scale of BBB-opening, but MI only partially gauged acoustic activities, and CE-MRI did n...
