Relevance between MRI longitudinal relaxation rate and gadolinium concentration in Gd3+/GO/alginate nanocomposite
Objective(s): Relevance between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) relaxation rate and concentration of magnetic nanoparticles determines the capability of a nanomaterial to provide MRI contrast. In the present study, alginate was conjugated to gadolinium/graphene oxide nanocomposite to form gadolinium/graphene oxide/alginate nanocomposite, aiming to investigate its effect on the relevance betwee...
متن کاملLong-term effects of neonatal hypoxia-ischemia on structural and physiological integrity of the eye and visual pathway by multimodal MRI.
PURPOSE Neonatal hypoxia-ischemia is a major cause of brain damage in infants and may frequently present visual impairments. Although advancements in perinatal care have increased survival, the pathogenesis of hypoxic-ischemic injury and the long-term consequences to the visual system remain unclear. We hypothesized that neonatal hypoxia-ischemia can lead to chronic, MRI-detectable structural a...
متن کاملDestructive Effects of Prenatal WIN 55212-2 Exposure on Central Nervous System of Neonatal Rats
Background: Cannabinoid, particularly hashish and WIN 55212-2 (WIN), consumption during embryonic period may affect fetal growth, and the development of motor functioning, memory and cognitive functions. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effects of WIN 55212-2 during embryonic period on behavioral responses, as well as tissue and memory changes among neonatal rats. Methods: WIN...
متن کاملQuantitative multi-parametric assessment of a radiation-induced encepholodysplasia CNS model using magnetic resonance imaging
INTRODUCTION Radiological examinations, such as abdominal x-ray or CT, during pregnancy have been associated with a slightly increased risk of brain tumor [1]. Radiation exposure during the embryonic period causes various diseases such as hydrocephalus, microcephaly and other brain disorder [2]. Recently, it has been demonstrated that manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI), using a MnCl2 contrast agent...
متن کاملktrans as a quantitative indicator of calf muscle perfusion at peak exercise
Background Quantitative contrast enhanced MRI (CE-MRI) may be valuable for calf perfusion assessment in peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The Kety equation describes the dynamic relationship between the concentration of gadolinium (Gd) in tissue and in arterial blood. ktrans is the rate at which Gd enters the interstitial space and it is determined by blood flow (F) as well as the Gd extractio...
