Detection of focal hepatic lesions with MR imaging: prospective comparison of T2-weighted fast spin-echo with and without fat suppression, T2-weighted breath-hold fast spin-echo, and gadolinium chelate-enhanced 3D gradient-recalled imaging.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare breath-hold three-dimensional (3D) rapid gradient-echo (GRE) MR imaging obtained before and after gadolinium chelate injection with T2-weighted fast spin-echo and T2-weighted breath-hold fast spin-echo (BHFSE) MR imaging in the detection of focal hepatic masses. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Fifty-three patients with 108 focal hepatic masses had, pros...
متن کاملAccelerated Breath-Hold Multi-Echo FSE Pulse Sequence Using Compressed Sensing and Parallel Imaging for T2 Measurement in the Heart
Introduction: Measurement of proton transverse relaxation time (T2) can be used to detect pathological changes in tissue for a variety of clinical applications, including identification of edema and iron overload. The most widely used T2 mapping pulse sequence is the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) sequence [1,2]. For body MRI, however, a CPMG pulse sequence is typically performed with navigat...
متن کاملFree-breathing myocardial T2* mapping using GRE-EPI and automatic Non-rigid motion correction
BACKGROUND Measurement of myocardial T2* is becoming widely used in the assessment of patients at risk for cardiac iron overload. The conventional breath-hold, ECG-triggered, segmented, multi-echo gradient echo (MGRE) sequence used for myocardial T2* quantification is very sensitive to respiratory motion and may not be feasible in patients who are unable to breath-hold. We propose a free-breath...
متن کاملNovel MRI T2 Mapping for Improved Myocardial Tissue Characterisation
Introduction: As part of our work on myocardial iron quantification we have developed an breath-hold fast spin echo (FSE) T2 technique with good reproducibility (1,2). This T2 technique, however, is based on region-ofinterest (ROI) analysis. Although ROI analysis can increase signal to noise ratio (SNR), it may introduce errors to T2 measurement by averaging every pixel within the region. By co...
متن کاملReproducibility of slice-interleaved myocardial T2 mapping sequences
Background Myocardial T2 mapping sequence allows quantitative assessment of myocardial edema and inflammation. Commonly, a series of T2 weighted images with steadystate free-precession (SSFP) are acquired after T2 magnetization preparation (T2Prep) with different echo times. Conventionally, a single slice per breath-hold is acquired to image one single slice. Because inflammation/edema is often...
