متن کاملUTE Imaging for Single Cell Detection with Positive Contrast
Introduction Employing gradient recalled echo (GRE) techniques to image cells labelled with super paramagnetic iron oxides (SPIO) is known to be an efficient method for the detection of small cell quantities in-vivo [1]. Dephasing within a voxel, and therefore negative contrast of the pixel, depends on the local magnetic dose within this voxel [2] and the global field-distortions caused by SPIO...
متن کاملApplication of Ultra-Short Echo Time Imaging for Visualization of SPIO-loaded Tumor Cells in Brain
Introduction: There has been recent interest in positive-contrast MRI methods for tracking cells labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles. Due to signal variations caused by SPIO-induced field inhomogeneities, in tissues with highly concentrated iron labeled cells, T2* values can decrease to values below 1 millisecond. Therefore, the signal may have decayed to the noise le...
متن کاملHigh positive contrast generation of a subvoxel susceptibility deviation in ultrashort TE (UTE) radial center-out imaging at 3T
IntroductionA number of positive contrast techniques for the detection of (super-) paramagnetic particles/agents, such as (U)SPIO or iron-oxide labeled cells have been developed recently. Most of these positive contrast (PC) techniques exploit the frequency shift that is induced by the magnetic susceptibility difference of the contrast agents. Positive contrast techniques may improve detectabil...
متن کاملCo-Transplantation of VEGF-Expressing Human Embryonic Stem Cell Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Enhance Islet Revascularization in Diabetic Nude Mice
Background: Pancreatic islet transplantation has emerged as a promising treatment for type I diabetes. However, its efficacy is severely hampered due to poor islet engraftment and revascularization, which have been resulted to partially loss of transplanted islets. It has been shown that local delivery of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) could accelerate transplanted islet revasculari...
