Overcoming limitations in diffusion-weighted MRI of breast by spatio-temporal encoding.
PURPOSE Evaluating the usefulness of diffusion-weighted spatio-temporal encoding (SPEN) methods to provide quantitative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)-based characterizations of healthy and malignant human breast tissues, in comparison with results obtained using techniques based on spin-echo echo planar imaging (SE-EPI). METHODS Twelve healthy volunteers and six breast cancer patients ...
متن کاملIn vivo free-breathing DTI & IVIM of the whole human heart using a real-time slice-followed SE-EPI navigator-based sequence: a reproducibility study in healthy volunteers
PURPOSE In this study, we proposed an efficient free-breathing strategy for rapid and improved cardiac diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) acquisition using a single-shot spin-echo echo planar imaging (SE-EPI) sequence. METHODS A real-time slice-following technique during free-breathing was combined with a sliding acquisition-window strategy prior Principal Component Analysis temporal Maximum In...
متن کاملEvaluation of Sensory Pathways in Spinal Cord by Comparison of fMRI Methodologies
Introduction: Today, clinicians and neuroscientists need to have a comprehensive survey of neurological pathologies and injuries. For the First-time, SEEP contrast and Spin-Echo pulse sequences was used for functional imaging of the Lumbar spinal cord. This method used by several research groups for Spinal cord mapping, but other researchers tried to improve BOLD fMRI to Spina...
متن کاملReadout-Segmented Echo-Planar Imaging in Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging in Breast Cancer: Comparison with Single-Shot Echo-Planar Imaging in Image Quality
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the image quality of standard single-shot echo-planar imaging (ss-EPI) and that of readout-segmented EPI (rs-EPI) in patients with breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-one patients with 74 breast cancers underwent both ss-EPI and rs-EPI. For qualitative comparison of image quality, three readers independently assessed the two sets of ...
متن کاملDiagnostic Performance of Diffusion Tensor Imaging with Readout-segmented Echo-planar Imaging for Invasive Breast Cancer: Correlation of ADC and FA with Pathological Prognostic Markers
PURPOSE To assess the diagnostic performance of readout-segmented echo-planar diffusion tensor imaging (DTI based on rs-EPI) for breast cancer and to determine the correlation between the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) values obtained from DTI based on rs-EPI with prognostic markers of invasive breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study ...
