Direct and Indirect Surface Coil Correction for Cardiac Perfusion MRI
Introduction Although the first-pass myocardial perfusion MRI has proven its effectiveness in the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease, this technique is still not routinely used. Certain technical difficulties prevent perfusion MRI from being added into the clinical workflow, including complex cardiac motion, limited imaging time, and B1-field inhomogeneity caused by non-uniform characteristics...
متن کاملComparison of transient ischemic dilation ratios in SPECT and SPECT-CT myocardial perfusion imaging in the low pre-test probability group
Introduction: The main purpose of this study was to compare transient ischemic dilation (TID) ratios in SPECT-low dose CT and SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) by application of different quantitative programs and quantify the possible shift in the upper normal limits of TID ratio in the SPECT-CT MPI. Methods: 149 Patients with low pre-test probability for coronary artery disease (CAD),...
متن کاملSemi-quantitative segmental perfusion scoring in myocardial perfusion SPECT: visual vs. automated analysis
Introduction: It is recommended that the physician apply at least a semi-quantitative segmental scoring system in myocardial perfusion SPECT. We aimed to assess the agreement between automated semi-quantitative analysis using QPS (quantitative Perfusion SPECT) software and visual approach for calculation of summed stress score (SSS), summed rest score (SRS) and summed difference score (SDS). ...
متن کاملFree-breathing myocardial perfusion MRI using SW-CG-HYPR and motion correction.
First-pass perfusion MRI is a promising technique to detect ischemic heart disease. Sliding window (SW) conjugate-gradient (CG) highly constrained back-projection reconstruction (HYPR) (SW-CG-HYPR) has been proposed to increase spatial coverage, spatial resolution, and SNR. However, this method is sensitive to respiratory motion and thus requires breath-hold. This work presents a non-model-base...
متن کاملCorrection of Coil Induced Intensity Inhomogeneities in Magnetic Resonance for Trabecular Bone Analysis
Introduction Osteoporosis is a degenerative disease characterized by bone loss, and it is associated with significant socioeconomic impact [1]. Trabecular bone analysis is important in clinical studies of osteoporosis, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows for non-invasive 3D quantitative trabecular bone assessment. MRI of osteoporosis-related anatomical locations are generally acquired w...
