Ultra-high-field magnetic resonance imaging
Understanding human brain function, brain development and brain dysfunction is one of the great challenges of the twentyfirst century. Biomedical imaging has now run up against a number of technical constraints that are exposing limits to its potential. In order to overcome the current limits to high-field magnetic resonance cerebral imaging (MRI) and unleash its fullest potential, the CEA has ...
متن کاملDielectric Resonance in Ultra High Field MRI
INTRODUCTION Since the start of magnetic resonance imaging, there has been a constant drive towards more powerful magnets and consequently higher operational frequencies. For head imaging, it is expected for the electromagnetic fields to be influenced by the presence of the tissue at these frequencies (field strength AT). As a result, fundamental problems were anticipated regarding the presence...
متن کاملIn vivo measurement of T2 relaxation times in mouse brain at 17.6 Tesla
Introduction: Transverse (T2) proton (H) magnetic resonance (MR) relaxation time plays an important role in clinics since it has a potential to distinguish different tissue types such as healthy tissue from pathological tissue [1, 2, 3]. Mice are routinely used as models for studying human brain disorders and the present trend in in vivo mouse brain MRI is to move toward ultra-high magnetic fie...
متن کاملWidespread inflammation in CLIPPERS syndrome indicated by autopsy and ultra-high-field 7T MRI
OBJECTIVE To examine if there is widespread inflammation in the brain of patients with chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) syndrome by using histology and ultra-high-field MRI at 7.0T. METHODS We performed a detailed neuropathologic examination in 4 cases, including 1 autopsy case, and studied 2 additional patients by MRI at...
متن کاملMRI Detection of Small Calcium Crystals in Air Bubble-free Agarose Phantoms: Potential Applications to Imaging Microcalcifications in Breast Cancer
Introduction: Clusters of calcium oxalate (CaOX) and hydroxyapatite (CaHA) crystals are generally associated with benign and malignant breast lesions, respectively. Such microcalcifications (microcalcs) are useful radiological indicators of early-stage, breast carcinoma. This study tests the detectability of these microcalcs by MRI, compared to conventional x-ray imaging methods, for potential ...
