Diagnostic performance of 3T stress magnetic resonance myocardial perfusion imaging (MRMPI) using 32-channel cardiac coil in patients with coronary artery disease
Background/aim With newly available 32-channel cardiac coil, 3 tesla MRI system provides increased signal-to-noise radio (SNR), reduced imaging time and improved spatial resolution. This study sought to determine the diagnostic performance of 3T stress MRMPI with 32-channel cardiac coil in detecting clinical relevant coronary artery stenosis in comparison with invasive coronary angiography (ICA).
متن کاملSusceptibility Imaging in Glial Tumor Grading; Using 3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance (MR) System and 32 Channel Head Coil
BACKGROUND Susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) is a velocity compensated, high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) spoiled gradient-echo sequence that uses magnitude and filtered-phase data. SWI seems to be a valuable tool for non-invasive evaluation of central nervous system gliomas. Relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) ratio is one of the best noninvasive methods for glioma grading. Degree o...
متن کاملA 32-channel Receive Array Coil for Pediatric Brain Imaging at 3T
Introduction: Pediatric MRI currently requires general anesthesia to preclude motion artifacts. With highly accelerated image encoding in conjunction motion navigators it may be possible to significantly reduce or even eliminate anesthesia. For research studies of brain development where anesthesia is not possible, improved motion robustness can significantly improve the success rate. Highly pa...
متن کاملSNR evaluation of 32 channel cardiac coils in DENSE MRI at 1.5 and 3T
Introduction: Myocardial strain assessment based on Displacement ENcoding with Stimulated Echoes (DENSE) MRI is a powerful tool to study myocardial function. Unfortunately, low SNR caused by T1 relaxation and excitation puts a limit on the number of cardiac phases that can be resolved. Several techniques to improve the SNR have been previously presented, with associated trade-offs. The regional...
متن کاملImpact of neonatal cardiac receive-array coil on SNR and CNR in newborn infants
Background CMR assessments of cardiac function at 3.0 Tesla have been shown to provide more complete data with greater reproducibility than existing echocardiographic methods in newborns [1]. However signal to noise is at a premium in preterm infants. Further advances in image quality and spatial resolution are dependent on maximizing available signal. Prior neonatal CMR imaging has been perfor...
