Characterization of atherosclerotic carotid plaque using MATCH: initial clinical experience
Background Characterization of carotid artery morphology and plaque composition requires multiple measurements with different contrast-weightings, which are limited by long scan time, image misregistration, and expertise-dependency in image interpretation. Recently, a new method,3D Multicontrast ATherosclerosis CHaracterization (MATCH) has been developed to overcome the above drawbacks by acqui...
متن کاملCarotid Multicontrast ATherosclerosis CHaracterization (MATCH) in a single scan
Background The conventional MRI protocol for the characterization of atherosclerotic plaques involves a series of scans that provide multiple contrast weightings for resolving highrisk plaque characteristics [1]. However, mis-registration between image sets due to the inter-scan motion often compromises evaluation accuracy and image interpretation is expertise dependent [2]. The aim of this wor...
متن کاملMulti-contrast atherosclerosis characterization (MATCH) of carotid plaque with a single 5-min scan: technical development and clinical feasibility
BACKGROUND Multi-contrast weighted imaging is a commonly used cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) protocol for characterization of carotid plaque composition. However, this approach is limited in several aspects including low slice resolution, long scan time, image mis-registration, and complex image interpretation. In this work, a 3D CMR technique, named Multi-contrast Atherosclerosis Char...
متن کاملHistological validation of carotid plaque characterization by in-vivo T2 mapping in patients with recent cerebrovascular events: preliminary results
Background Multicontrast CMR is the conventional method for invivo characterization of carotid plaques. However, its non-quantitative nature and the need for extensive postacquisition interpretation limit its clinical application. We have recently proposed using in-vivo quantitative T2 mapping for atherosclerotic plaque characterization [Biasiolli et al. JCMR 2013, 15:69]. T2 maps have the adva...
متن کاملIn-vivo quantitative T2 mapping of carotid arteries in atherosclerotic patients: segmentation and T2 measurement of plaque components
BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic plaques in carotid arteries can be characterized in-vivo by multicontrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), which has been thoroughly validated with histology. However, the non-quantitative nature of multicontrast CMR and the need for extensive post-acquisition interpretation limit the widespread clinical application of in-vivo CMR plaque characterization.
