Image Classification and Quantification Form for Stroke Lesions and Background Brain Appearance on CT and MR Imaging Including CT/MR Angiography and CT/MR Perfusion Imaging

چکیده
Acute Stroke Lesions The following templates were initially devised as a rapid method of classifying and quantifying acute ischaemic and hemorrhagic stroke lesions on CT or MR imaging during JMW’s MD project. The method of dividing the brain into typical arterial territories involved in acute ischaemic stroke covered in Question 5, including the assessment of lesion swelling, was validated in an observer reliability study, and subsequently used in stroke registers and observational studies.

Generating Synthetic Computed Tomography and Synthetic Magnetic Resonance (sMR: sT1w/sT2w) Images of the Brain Using Atlas-Based Method
Introduction: Nowadays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in combination with computed-tomography (CT) is increasingly being used in radiation therapy planning. MR and CT images are applied to determine the target volume and calculate dose distribution, respectively. Since the use of these two imaging modalities causes registration uncertainty and increases department w...

Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in radiation treatment (RT) planning as well as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast. Due to the fact that there is no direct transformation from voxel intensity in MR images into electron density, itchr('39')s crucial to generate a pseudo-CT (Computed Tomography) image ...

Introduction: Radiation therapy planning (RTP) is one of the clinical applications in which both CT scan and MRI are used. MR and CT images are applied to determine the target volume and calculation of dose distribution, respectively. In addition, using two imaging modalities increases the department workload and cost. In this study, an algorithm was presented to create synthet...

متن کاملDiagnosis of stroke with advanced CT and MR imaging.
There have been important advances in stroke imaging, including CT perfusion imaging, xenon-CT, CT angiography, MR diffusion imaging, MR perfusion imaging, MR angiography and haemorrhage-sensitive gradient echo MR sequences. The technical principles and clinical applications of these methods are explained. An emphasis is made on the diagnosis of hyperacute cerebral ischaemia and issues surround...
