Proton MR spectroscopy in a 1T open MR imaging system.
نویسندگان
چکیده
(1)H-MR spectroscopy is an established noninvasive MR imaging technique that can be helpful in the diagnosis of brain lesions and in treatment planning. Claustrophobia and body habitus preclude some patients from routine MR imaging in a closed-bore system. The development of (1)H-MR spectroscopy for use in an open MR imaging system would enable a more complete characterization of brain lesions in these patients.

Functional MR imaging on an open 1T MR imaging system: exploiting the advantages of an open MR imaging system for functional MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Open MR imaging scanners are designed for imaging of specific patient groups that cannot be routinely scanned with conventional MR imaging scanners (eg, patients with obesity and claustrophobia). This study aims to determine whether BOLD sensitivity on an open 1T scanner is adequate for fMRI for diagnostic and research purposes by directly comparing fMRI results with a st...
متن کاملClinical applications of proton MR spectroscopy.
Magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy has received little attention from the clinical radiology community. Indeed, most MR spectroscopic studies are performed by a small and dedicated group of individuals, mostly basic scientists. This behavior is partly because MR spectroscopy does not produce “pictures” but results in “graphs,” and until lately, it could only be obtained with dedicated units a...
متن کاملMR imaging, MR angiography, and MR spectroscopy of the brain in eclampsia.
PURPOSE To compare the MR imaging and MR angiographic changes with in vivo proton MR spectroscopic findings and to determine the spectral differences between edema and ischemia in patients with eclampsia. METHODS Spin-echo MR imaging, MR angiography, and single-voxel proton MR spectroscopy were performed in 10 patients with eclampsia. MR studies were obtained within 3 to 5 days of diagnosis a...
متن کاملProton MR spectroscopy and imaging of a galactosemic patient before and after dietary treatment.
We describe how proton MR spectroscopy ((1)H-MR spectroscopy) was useful in elucidating the diagnosis of galactosemia in an undiagnosed 6-month-old infant. In vivo (1)H-MR spectroscopy of the brain showed a doublet at 3.7 parts per million, which was identified as galactitol (Gal-ol) by in vitro (1)H-MR spectroscopy of the urine. Galactosemia was subsequently confirmed by laboratory tests and t...
متن کاملClinical proton MR spectroscopy of neurodegenerative disease in childhood.
PURPOSE To determine the contribution of MR spectroscopy in the assessment of childhood neurodegenerative disease. METHODS Fifty-one subjects (7 weeks to 17 years of age), 22 with either hereditary (n = 16) or acquired (n = 6) neurodegenerative disorders and 29 age-matched control subjects, were studied with combined proton MR spectroscopy and MR imaging. Single-voxel (2.0-8.0 cc) MR spectra ...
