DCE-MRI of the kidney using BLADE – A feasibility study
Introduction Since the number of end-stage renal diseases (ESRD) is still growing with up to 800 reported cases per million across the European Union and about 1500 cases in the United States [1] alternative diagnostic modalities that allow to detect even slight morphological and functional renal changes within early disease stages gain further importance, especially with regard to the patient’...
متن کاملDCE-MRI Non-Rigid Kidney Registration
Introduction: Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is a very promising method for noninvasive assessment of renal function such as renal perfusion or glomular filtration rate. The acquisition of DCE-MRI for that purpose is usually performed during free breathing because the scan duration, necessary for data analysis, is typically in the order of several minutes. The ph...
متن کاملA variational approach to image registration in DCE-MRI of human kidney
Introduction Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is an emerging technique for a more accurate assessment of local renal function [1]. However, the measured time intensity curves used for quantification of renal blood flow or glomerlar filtration rate are hampered by motion artefacts, mainly from respiration of the patient [2]. To correct for such motion, image registr...
متن کاملBlade DCE MRI - Towards Renal Perfusion Measurements with reduced Motion Artifacts
Introduction Due to the worldwide increasing number of cases of chronic kidney diseases renal imaging has become a very important mean for an early diagnosis of probable insufficiencies and malfunction. Especially, dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) [1] provides a technique offering a high image quality with an adequate spatial resolution to derive physiological para...
متن کاملDetection of Motion Distorted Areas in Perfusion MRI of the Breast
Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI of the breast (DCE-MRI) is widely used for detection and quantification purposes of breast cancer. The particular acquisition procedure of DCE-MRI over time leads to motion artifacts which distort analysis results. In this work we examine two criteria for a segmentation approach to separate areas affected by motion artifacts from properly perfused regions. By appli...
