Intracoronary 3.0T MRI: An ex vivo feasibility study in swine hearts
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE: MRI is becoming a useful imaging tool for the diagnosis and treatment atherosclerotic coronary arteries. To date, there are no reports on intracoronary MRI using a clinical 3.0T MRI scanner, which requires the placement of a small sized (usually 0.014-inch in diameter) endovascular MR coil into the coronary arteries. In this study, we attempted to confirm, ex vivo, the possibility of generating intracoronary 3.0T MRI via establishment of an imaging system with combining use of a 0.014-inch endovascular MR antenna and two surface coils.

Development of a 0.014-inch anti-solenoid loop coil: Toward intracoronary 3.0T MRI and interventions
PURPOSE: Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is the main cause of heart attack. Unlike plaques in carotid arteries, the atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries are difficult to be detected using conventional MRI techniques with surface coils. To solve this problem, a 0.014-inch intracoronary MR imaging-guidewire (a loopless RF coil) was invented, which enabled to generate intracoronary...

Objective(s): To determine the effects of triiodothyronine (T3) intracoronary perfusion in isolated hearts and short-term administration in rats on the left ventricular (LV) phosphorylation patterns of Akt and ERK1/2. Materials and Methods: Cardiodynamic and hemodynamic parameters were evaluated in Langendorff–perfused hearts. Left ventr...

BACKGROUND This study was to validate the feasibility of using clinical 3.0T MRI to monitor the migration of autotransplanted bone marrow (BM)-derived stem-progenitor cells (SPC) to the injured arteries of near-human sized swine for potential cell-based arterial repair. METHODOLOGY The study was divided into two phases. For in vitro evaluation, BM cells were extracted from the iliac crests of...

PURPOSE To investigate the feasibility of an intravascular imaging antenna to image abdominal aorta atherosclerotic plaque in swine using 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Atherosclerotic model was established in 6 swine. After 8 months, swine underwent an MR examination, which was performed using an intravascular imaging guide-wire, and images of the common iliac artery and the ...
