Imaging of lung ventilation and respiratory dynamics in a single ventilation cycle using hyperpolarized He-3 MRI.
PURPOSE To image respiratory dynamics and three-dimensional (3D) ventilation during inhalation, breath-hold, and exhalation for evaluation of obstructive lung disease using a single dose of hyperpolarized (HP) He-3 during MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS A single 2D-3D projections inside Z encoding (PRIZE)-2D acquisition was performed that consisted of a rapid 2D radial acquisition phase during inh...
متن کاملHyperpolarized Gas MRI of the Lungs
The hyperpolarized gases 3 He and 129 Xe are prepared with a magnetization that is 100,000-fold larger than what could be attained by simple thermal equilibrium. This extraordinary magnetization overcomes the low density of these gases and permits them to be imaged with high spatial and temporal resolution. The principles of gas hyperpolarization have been reviewed in a very accessible manner b...

متن کاملApplication of Shape Analysis on 3D Images - MRI of Renal Tumors
The image recognotion and the classification of objects according to the images are more in focus of interests, especially in medicine. A mathematical procedure allows us, not only to evaluate the amount of data per se, but also ensures that each image is pro- cessed similarly. Here in this study, we propose the power of shape analysis, in conjunction with neural networks for reducing white n...
متن کاملDosimetric and Radiobiological Evaluation of Multiparametric MRI-guided Dose Painting in radiotherapy of Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Radiotherapy is one of the treatment options for locally advanced prostate cancer, however with standard radiation doses it is not always very effective. One of the strategies to improve the efficiency of radiotherapy is increasing the dose. In this study to increase tumor local control rates a new radiotherapy method, known as dose painting (DP) was investigated....
