Clinical Significance of Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging on Treatment Efficacy in MS Patients With Acute Attacks
Background: Despite the existence of various imaging methods, the accurate diagnosis of many neurodegenerative diseases is still controversial. The use of advanced imaging techniques, such as the diffusion weighted imaging can be help the early detection of MS and evaluation of the treatment efficacy in these patients. Materials and method: 24 MS patients with acute attack and thirty healthy s...
متن کاملHigh resolution 3D diffusion MRI of carotid plaque on 3T
Background Diffusion MRI (DWI and ADC) has been shown to provide excellent contrast for characterizing carotid plaque components such as necrotic lipid core and intraplaque hemorrhage ex vivo [1] and in vivo [2]. However, conventional 2D EPI-based methods have suboptimal image quality and limited spatial resolution leading to difficulties in ADC calculation, limiting the clinical utility of thi...
متن کاملAssessment of diagnostic value of DWI technique in the evaluation of liver fibrosis
Introduction: The liver fibrosis is caused by extracellular accumulation of cluster, glycos amino glycans and proteoglycans, which this extracellular accumulation may limit the penetration and molecular movement of water in the tissue, so the Diffusion weighted imaging(DWI) technique is due to the sensitivity to the movement and release of water molecules Can show this restrict...
متن کاملIn Vivo 3D High Resolution Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) maps of Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis Plaques Using 3D singleshot Inner Volume Stimulated EPI (3D ss-IV-STEPI) Technique
INTRODUCTION: The extent of lipid accumulation and the presence of intramural hemorrhage have been found to be associated with the degree of plaque vulnerability and risk of plaque rupture. However, lipids and hemorrhage are often difficult to distinguish from other plaque components by MRI, and the reported appearance of these tissues in different MR studies is inconsistent . Ex-vivo studies h...
متن کاملHigh resolution 3D diffusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance of carotid vessel wall to detect lipid core without contrast media
BACKGROUND Without the need of contrast media, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has shown great promise for accurate detection of lipid-rich necrotic core (LRNC), a well-known feature of vulnerable plaques. However, limited resolution and poor image quality in vivo with conventional single-shot diffusion-weighted echo planar imaging (SS-DWEPI) has hindered its clinical application. The aim of t...
