Relationship between temperature and T2 in subcutaneous fat and bone marrow at 3T

چکیده
Background/introduction MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for treatment of uterine fibroids and painful bone metastases uses the proton resonant frequency shift (PRF) for temperature monitoring in water-based tissues. However, PRF fails to detect temperature changes in tissues with high lipid content, such as fat and bone marrow. Previous studies have shown a change in T2 of subcutaneous fat, red and yellow bone marrow during treatments with focused ultrasound. The lack of calibration data for 3T acquisitions, however, makes it difficult to convert T2 values into maps of tissue temperature. In this study we investigated the dependence of T2 temperature on temperature in porcine adipose tissue and bovine yellow bone marrow at thermal equilibrium at 3T.

T2-based temperature monitoring in bone marrow for MR-guided focused ultrasound
BACKGROUND Current clinical protocols for MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) treatment of osseous lesions, including painful bone metastases and osteoid osteomas, rely on measurement of the temperature change in adjacent muscle to estimate the temperature of the bone. The goal of this study was to determine if T2-based thermometry could be used to monitor the temperature change in bone marro...

INTRODUCTION Bone marrow edema-like lesions (BMEL) are defined as areas of high signal intensity in T2-weighted, fat-saturated magnetic resonance (MR) images or in short inversion time inversion-recovery images. These lesions are present in knee osteoarthritis (OA) and acute knee injuries. While MR findings of BMEL are common, our knowledge concerning their natural history and significance is l...

This study is concerned with the viability of producing biodiesel from waste beef bone fat and evaluate this product according to the quality requirements defined by ASTM D- 6751. Accordingly, beef bone fat was heated to remove the moisture under vacuum at 60 . Alkaline Catalysed Transesterfication was carried out by using 6:1 molar ratio of ethanol to fat in the presence of 1% w/w sodium hydr...
متن کاملT2-based temperature monitoring in abdominal fat during MR-guided focused ultrasound treatment of patients with uterine fibroids
BACKGROUND Near-field heating is a potential problem in focused ultrasound treatments, as it can result in thermal injury to skin, subcutaneous fat, and other tissues. Our goals were to determine if T2-based temperature mapping could be used reliably to measure near-field heating in adipose tissue and whether it is practical to perform such mapping during focused ultrasound treatments.
