Peripheral perfusion index measured using magnetohydrodynamic voltages in 3T MRI
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The Peripheral Perfusion Index (PFI) has been utilized for early detection of impaired organ perfusion in order to avoid tissue hypoxia, which could lead to organ failure [1]. A decrease in effective circulating blood volume, lowering of PFI levels, can cause vasoconstriction [2]. Strong MRI magnetic field (B0) interactions with flowing blood plasma electrolytes produce a Magnetohydrodynamic voltage (VMHD) [3]. We hypothesized that a processing method which derives VMHD at different segments of the body could provide a direct indicator for PFI as well as local perfusion levels in various body regions. Existing methods for PFI estimation include Pulse Oximetry (PO) and differential temperature recordings, both of which are indirect measurements [4].

Rapid quantification of stroke volume using magnetohydrodynamic voltages in 3T MRI: a feasibility study
Background The Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a standard clinical tool for cardiac physiological monitoring, required for cardiac synchronization during cardiac MRI, despite signal artifacts resulting from Magnetohydrodynamic voltages (VMHD). VMHD becomes significant during systole when rapidly ejected blood from the left ventricle into the aortic arch interacts with the strong magnetic field (B0) ...

BACKGROUND To develop a technique to noninvasively estimate stroke volume in real time during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided procedures, based on induced magnetohydrodynamic voltages (VMHD) that occur in ECG recordings during MRI exams, leaving the MRI scanner free to perform other imaging tasks. Because of the relationship between blood flow (BF) and VMHD, we hypothesized that a metho...
متن کاملDoes measurement of exercise/rest calf muscle perfusion reserve with first-pass contrast-enhanced MRI in peripheral arterial disease perform better than exercise-only perfusion ?
Methods Sixteen healthy subjects and 3 symptomatic PAD patients (ABI 0.4-0.9) underwent contrast-enhanced perfusion MRI of the calf before and after plantar-flexion exercise using an MR-compatible pedal at 50 rpm for up to 20 minutes or until limiting symptoms. Contrast-enhanced first-pass images were obtained on a 3T Siemens Trio scanner by infusion of 0.1mM/kg of gadolinium-DTPA followed by a...
متن کاملDeterminants of exercise calf muscle perfusion in Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
Background In patients with PAD, ankle-brachial index (ABI) does not correlate well with time to claudication and lacks the ability to quantify tissue perfusion, therefore limiting the development of new therapies. Arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI is a novel non-contrast technique that measures peak calf muscle perfusion noninvasively at a microvascular level. We sought to analyze the relations...
