Size "H" oxygen cylinder: accidental MR projectile at 1.5 Tesla.
نویسنده
چکیده
The risks of ferromagnetic compressed gas cylinders becoming projectiles in an MR environment are well known (12). The recent death of a child from such an incident reinforces the potential for disaster (3).

Comparison of 1.5 and 3 T BOLD MR to study oxygenation of kidney cortex and medulla in human renovascular disease.
OBJECTIVES Imaging of the kidney using blood oxygen level dependent MR presents a major opportunity to examine differences in tissue oxygenation within the cortex and medulla applicable to human disease. We sought to define the differences between regions within kidneys and to optimize selection of regions of interest for study with 1.5 and 3 Tesla systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS Studies in 38...
متن کاملProton MR Spectroscopy of Substantia Nigra in the Human Brain at 4 Tesla: Measurement of High GABA Concentrations
Introduction Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN), but its etiology remains poorly understood (1). In vivo H MRS may provide a noninvasive alternative to culture, animal model and post-mortem studies that are more commonly utilized to understand the pathogenesis of PD. However, due to its small size, the MRS investigation of the ...
متن کاملCalculation of total dose and dose equivalent distribution in the treatment of lung cancer using MR-guided carbon therapy
Nowadays, in order to improve the accuracy of treatment in radiation therapy, there are many attempts to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to the advantages of excellent soft tissue contrast and ultra-fast pulse sequences. On the other hand, carbon-ion radiation therapy is developing rapidly due to the benefits of greater relative biological effectiveness (RBE) and the application in the...
متن کامل1.5 versus 3 versus 7 Tesla in abdominal MRI: A comparative study
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the feasibility as well as potential impact of altered magnetic field properties on image quality and potential artifacts of 1.5 Tesla, 3 Tesla and 7 Tesla non-enhanced abdominal MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging of the upper abdomen was performed in 10 healthy volunteers on a 1.5 Tesla, a 3 Tesla and a 7...
متن کاملNon-contrast-enhanced MR portography and hepatic venography with time-spatial labeling inversion pulses: comparison at 1.5 Tesla and 3 Tesla
BACKGROUND A 3 Tesla (3 T) magnetic resonance (MR) scanner is a promising tool for upper abdominal MR angiography. However, there is no report focused on the image quality of non-contrast-enhanced MR portography and hepatic venography at 3 T. PURPOSE To compare and evaluate images of non-contrast-enhanced MR portography and hepatic venography with time-spatial labeling inversion pulses (Time-...
