Depiction of the cranial nerves within the brain stem with use of PROPELLER multishot diffusion-weighted imaging.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite the recent progress of MR imaging, visualization of the cranial nerves within the brain stem has not been accomplished. Periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction (PROPELLER) multishot diffusion-weighted imaging, an effective method for compensating for motion and distortion, offers high-quality diffusion-weighted images. We succeeded in depicting the cranial nerves within the brain stem in some subjects by using this method with motion-probing gradient applied in the superior-inferior direction.

Multishot diffusion-weighted PROPELLER magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using multishot PROPELLER for diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of the abdomen. MATERIALS AND METHODS Diffusion-weighted abdominal imaging was performed in 9 healthy volunteers and 3 patients using both single-shot DW-SE-EPI and multishot DW-PROPELLER (BLADE sequence). We compared ADC measurements in phantoms, liver and p...
متن کاملCranial nerve tractography with 3T PROPELLER Diffusion Tensor Imaging
[Introduction] Cranial nerves are small nerves that control various sensory and/or motor functions and these nerves emerge from the brainstem. Conventional anatomical scan such as T1/T2 weighed MRI is commonly used to identify these nerves, but sometimes it is difficult to track the pathways due to complex structure. To visualize complex fiber structure, Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) has been ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MR diagnostic of postoperative recurrent cholesteatomas is difficult. Our purpose was to compare multishot fast spin-echo periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction (PROPELLER) diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) with array spatial sensitivity encoding technique (ASSET) single-shot echo-planar DWI and late postgadolinium T1-weighted MR im...

Neurolymphomatosis is a rare manifestation of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by infiltration of peripheral nerves, nerve roots, plexus and cranial nerves by malignant lymphocytes. This report presents positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT)imaging with 2-deoxy-2-18F-fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) in 3 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with nerve infiltration, including one newly d...
