Qualitative and quantitative myocardial perfusion with arterial spin labeling
Introduction A reduction of myocardial blood perfusion is the main physio-pathologic mechanism determining ischemic heart disease. Whilst SPECT and echocardiography are considered the reference standards for imaging perfusion defects, MRI techniques are emerging. Dynamic imaging of the first-pass of a contrast agent is currently the most frequently used of these techniques, however, guidelines ...
متن کاملQuantification of Polyethylene Glycol Esters of Methotrexate and Determination of Their Partition Coefficients by Validated HPLC Methods
Conjugation of methotrexate (MTX) (MW 454) with different molecular weights of polyethylene glycol (PEG) including methoxy-peg (mpeg) 750 D and 5000 D and diol-peg 35000 D led to compounds that are physicochemically highly different from the parent compound, MTX. In this study, an HPLC system consisting of C8 column and UV detector (?=342 nm), using a mixture of 30:70 v/v phosphate-citrate buff...

متن کاملImage Registration in ASL-Perfusion Imaging of Kidney - Impact on Image Quality
Introduction Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is an emerging technique for a more accurate assessment of local renal function [1]. Recent findings on NSF and disease status in certain patient groups permit the application of contrast agents. An alternative approach to non-invasive perfusion quantification is arterial spin labelling (ASL) [2]. However, ASL technique...
متن کاملDeepASL: Kinetic Model Incorporated Loss for Denoising Arterial Spin Labeled MRI via Deep Residual Learning
Arterial spin labeling (ASL) allows to quantify the cerebral blood flow (CBF) by magnetic labeling of the arterial blood water. ASL is increasingly used in clinical studies due to its noninvasiveness, repeatability and benefits in quantification. However, ASL suffers from an inherently low-signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) requiring repeated measurements of control/spin-labeled (C/L) pairs to achieve...
