Non-invasive imaging of diffuse liver disease using water T2 and fat fractions obtained from a breath hold radial GRASE method
Introduction: The diagnosis of inflammation, fibrosis, and steatosis is important in the characterization of diffuse liver disease such as Hepatitis C, nonalcoholic steatosis (NASH), and cirrhosis. Currently the diagnosis of these pathologies requires a liver biopsy which is an invasive procedure with associated morbidity and cost and in some cases subject to sampling errors. Non-invasive imagi...
متن کاملFast decomposition of water and lipid using a GRASE technique with the IDEAL algorithm.
Three-point Dixon techniques achieve good lipid-water separation by estimating the phase due to field inhomogeneities. Recently it was demonstrated that the combination of an iterative algorithm (iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation (IDEAL)) with a fast spin-echo (FSE) three-point Dixon method yielded robust lipid-water decomposition. As an a...
متن کاملRapid T2 and lipid-water imaging of the liver with radial IDEAL GRASE
Introduction: The information yielded by T2-weighted and the inand out-of phase images is important in the characterization of liver pathologies [1]. The difference in signal intensity between moderately and heavily T2-weighted images is used to discriminate benign from malignant lesions. Differences between the in and out-of-phase images are used to evaluate the presence of fat in focal lesion...
متن کاملGradient Spin Echo (GraSE) imaging for fast myocardial T2 mapping
BACKGROUND Quantitative Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) techniques have gained high interest in CMR research. Myocardial T2 mapping is thought to be helpful in diagnosis of acute myocardial conditions associated with myocardial edema. In this study we aimed to establish a technique for myocardial T2 mapping based on gradient-spin-echo (GraSE) imaging. METHODS The local ethics committe...
متن کاملDual Double-gradient-echo MRI for Liver Fat Content Analysis
We have devised a modified Dixon method for analyzing fatty infiltration of the liver using a dual doublegradient-echo (DDGRE) sequence. To correct the T2* decay, fourfold echo images were obtained by out-of-phase (TE = 2.3/6.9 ms) and in-phase (4.6/9.2 ms) double-echo sets during a single breath-hold scan on a 1.5 T MRI. The liver fat fractions obtained using the DDGRE method were determined i...
