Quantitative Ex Vivo MRI Changes due to Progressive Formalin Fixation in Whole Human Brain Specimens: Longitudinal Characterization of Diffusion, Relaxometry, and Myelin Water Fraction Measurements at 3T
Purpose Postmortem MRI can be used to reveal important pathologies and establish radiology-pathology correlations. However, quantitative MRI values are altered by tissue fixation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate time-dependent effects of formalin fixation on MRI relaxometry (T1 and T2), diffusion tensor imaging (fractional anisotropy, FA; and mean diffusivity, MD), and m...
متن کاملCorrelation of potential myelin measures from quantitative Magnetisation Transfer (qMT) and multi-component Driven Equilibrium Single Pulse Observation of T1 and T2 (mcDESPOT)
Introduction: The Magnetisation Transfer (MT) effect is based on the exchange of magnetisation between two proton pools; ‘free’ (‘liquid’) and ‘restricted’ (macromolecular). This property allows the MR characteristics of the macromolecular component (usually ‘invisible’ using conventional MRI due to its very short T2) to be probed via selective saturation. Analysis is based on a 2-pool quantita...
متن کاملNuclear magnetic resonance study of free and bound water fractions in normal lenses.
Proton NMR relaxation times T1 and T2 were determined for normal lenses excised from sexually mature animals from seven different species. Lenses were immersed in physiological buffer during measurements, and suppression methods were employed to null the buffer signal. This enabled selective analysis of lenticular water. Observed relaxation times were correlated with protein and water content. ...
متن کاملA New Strategy for Fast MRI-Based Quantification of the Myelin Water Fraction: Application to Brain Imaging in Infants
The volume fraction of water related to myelin (fmy) is a promising MRI index for in vivo assessment of brain myelination, that can be derived from multi-component analysis of T1 and T2 relaxometry signals. However, existing quantification methods require rather long acquisition and/or post-processing times, making implementation difficult both in research studies on healthy unsedated children ...
متن کاملT2 pitfalls using water as internal reference for metabolite quantification
Introduction The unsupressed water signal is often used as an internal reference for metabolite quantification in H-MRS. The water signal arises from different compartments of the human brain (brain matter BM and cerebral spinal fluid CSF) with large differences of T2 relaxation times between BM and CSF. Bi-exponential fitting of T2 relaxation times can be used to calculate the water signal at ...
