Targeted ROTational magnetic resonance angiography (TROTA).

چکیده

An MR angiographic method is presented in which a rotating 2D slice is centered on and targets a region or vessel of interest. Collecting a series of slices rotating about the center of the targeted region yields projection data sufficient for the calculation of 3D volumetric data of the region using conventional backprojection reconstruction techniques. These volumetric data depict the internal structure of the vessel and can be processed and displayed with multiplanar reformation, maximum intensity projections, and 3D rendering algorithms. The rotational angiographic acquisition preserves the high temporal resolution of 2D-MR digital subtraction angiography with the added benefit of 3D reformatting and display. The method is explained in detail and results from phantom and human experiments are presented.

Blood Flow Simulation in an Aorta with a mild coarctation Using Magnetic Resonance Angiography and Finite Volume Method

Coarctation of the aorta is one of the five main congenital cardiovascular failures, accounting for 6–8 percent of these failures. This research aimed to simulate the blood flow of a seventeen-year-old male teen with a mild coarctation at one-third of his aorta's descending branch. The simulation was performed by extracting the domain and the input pulsatile velocity signal as the boundary cond...

Three-dimensional rotational angiography fused with multimodal imaging modalities for targeted endomyocardial injections in the ischaemic heart.

AIM Biological therapies for ischaemic heart disease require efficient, safe, and affordable intramyocardial delivery. Integration of multiple imaging modalities within the fluoroscopy framework can provide valuable information to guide these procedures. We compared an anatomo-electric method (LARCA) with a non-fluoroscopic electromechanical mapping system (NOGA(®)). LARCA integrates selective ...

Diagnostic Accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Angiography for Cerebral Aneurysms in Correlation With 3D–Digital Subtraction Angiographic Images

Background and Purpose—We investigated the sensitivity of 3D–time-of flight (3D-TOF) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in the detection of cerebral aneurysms with the use of 3D digital subtraction angiography as the gold standard. We also evaluated the effects of location and number of aneurysms (and experience of the reader) on the sensitivity. Methods—3D-TOF MRA was performed in 82 patient...

Intravenous 3D digital subtraction angiography in the diagnosis of unruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Recent progress in digital subtraction angiography (DSA) devices makes it possible to perform rotational angiography with high resolution and high sensitivity. We tried intravenous (IV) 3D DSA in patients who had undergone MR angiography (MRA) suggestive of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. IV 3D DSA can be used as an alternative method for imaging unruptured intracranial aneurysms suggested o...
