The Optimization of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Pulse Sequences in Order to Better Detection of Multiple Sclerosis Plaques
Background and objective: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most sensitive technique to detect multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques in central nervous system. In some cases, the patients who were suspected to MS, Whereas MRI images are normal, but whether patients don’t have MS plaques or MRI images are not enough optimized enough in order to show MS plaques? The aim of the current study is ...
متن کاملA comparison of 3T and 7T in the detection of small parenchymal veins within MS lesions.
OBJECTIVE Histologic examination of multiple sclerosis (MS) brain lesions reveals heterogeneity including the presence or absence of a central blood vessel. Recent work has shown that T2* weighted magnetic resonance imaging at 7T allows the identification of small parenchymal veins within MS lesions. The aims of this study were (1) to compare whether a comparable sequence at 3T was also capable...
متن کاملOptimized T1-MPRAGE sequence for better visualization of spinal cord multiple sclerosis lesions at 3T.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Spinal cord lesions are highly prevalent in MS, and their visualization can help both in diagnosis and patient follow-up. However, the sensitivity of MR imaging to spinal cord lesions remains poor, primarily because of suboptimal contrast between lesions and a normal-appearing cord. Here, we propose an optimized 3D MPRAGE sequence for improved detection of MS lesions in t...
متن کاملIncreased cortical grey matter lesion detection in multiple sclerosis with 7 Tesla MRI : a postmortem verification study 2 . 3 7 T postmortem MRI and histopathology study
The relevance of cortical grey matter pathology in multiple sclerosis has become increasingly recognised over the past decade. Unfortunately, a large part of cortical lesions remain undetected on MRI using standard field strength. In vivo studies have shown improved detection by using higher magnetic field strengths up to 7 T. So far, a systematic histopathological verification of ultrahigh-fie...
متن کاملDouble inversion recovery brain imaging at 3T: diagnostic value in the detection of multiple sclerosis lesions.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To prospectively determine the sensitivity in the detection of multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions by using double inversion recovery (DIR), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), and T2-weighted turbo spin-echo (T2 TSE) MR imaging at 3T. METHODS Seventeen patients presenting with a clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) suggestive of MS, 9 patients with definite MS, and ...
