MRI Relaxometry: Methods and Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aspects of magnetic resonance relaxation measurements in human tissues are discussed. The influence of pulse sequences and parameters are compared and analyzed for different tissues. By controlling the acquisition parameters and data fitting the relaxation rate can be useful in several clinical situations. The influence of repetition and echo time, predicted in sequences of signal acquisition, on measurement of transversal relaxation time (T2) was evaluate using simulated MRI signal.

Introduction & Objective : The aim of this study was to optimize MRI conventional protocols for BMD(Bone Mineral Density) measurements using MRI Relaxometry in systems not facilitated with special multi echo protocols. Since, cortical and trabecular bone separation can not be performed in DEXA, so the results might lead to erroneous interpretation of BMD values. One method for bone quality dete...
متن کاملMagnetic hyperthermia and MRI relaxometry with dendrimer coated iron oxide nanoparticles
Introduction: Recently, some studies have focused on dendrimer nanopolymers as an MRI contrast agent or a vehicle for gene and drug delivery. Considering the suitable properties of these materials, they are appropriate candidates for coating iron oxide nanoparticles which are applied to magnetic hyperthermia. To the best of our knowledge, the novelty of this study is the inves...
متن کاملEfficient 2D MRI relaxometry using compressed sensing.
Potential applications of 2D relaxation spectrum NMR and MRI to characterize complex water dynamics (e.g., compartmental exchange) in biology and other disciplines have increased in recent years. However, the large amount of data and long MR acquisition times required for conventional 2D MR relaxometry limits its applicability for in vivo preclinical and clinical MRI. We present a new MR pipeli...
متن کاملTechniques and Bio-medical Applications of Field-cycling Magnetic Resonance
NMR relaxometry refers to the measurement of relaxation times (usually T1) as a function of magnetic field strength. It is usually accomplished using fast field-cycling (FFC), in which the magnetic field is switched rapidly between levels during the pulse sequence. By switching the magnetic field, the nuclear spins can “evolve” at a chosen magnetic field strength, after which the magnetic field...
متن کاملHuman Eye Magnetic Resonance Imaging Relaxometry in Diabetic Retinopathy
Two quantitative ocular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for the clinical use in Ophthalmology and Radiology were developed. Ocular MRI images with spatio-temporal resoultions of 0.78/1.56/2/(5 to 84) mm/mm/mm/s were acquired from patients with diabetic retinopathy and normal subjects using a 1 T MRI system. T1 and T2 MRI relaxometry maps were generated offline from the MRI images acqui...
