MR angiographic evaluation of platinum coil packs at 1.5T and 3T: an in vitro assessment of artifact production: technical note.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Susceptibility artifact from platinum coil packs impairs the visibility of perianeurysmal soft tissues at conventional 3D time-of-flight MR angiography. These artifacts limit the evaluation for residual-recurrent aneurysm and parent vessel stenosis. Reducing the echo time can decrease the artifact and improve perianeurysmal visualization. The purpose of this study was to assess quantitatively the effect of decreasing the echo time on artifact production at different field strengths and coil pack densities.

MRI-guided breast biopsy at 3T using a dedicated large core biopsy set: feasibility and initial results.
OBJECTIVE The increasing importance of breast MRI in the diagnostic processes concerning breast cancer yield often lesions that are visible on MRI only. To assess the nature of these lesions, pathologic analysis is necessary. Therefore, MR-guided biopsy should be available. Breast MRI at 3T has shown advantage over 1.5T. Unfortunately, current equipment for MR-guided biopsy is better suited for...
متن کاملMR Protocols Breast Imaging
Compared with 1.5T, 3T imaging has the inherent advantage of providing a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and higher resolution or faster scans, although there are trade-offs among these as well as certain limitations. 3T MR has a high specific absorption rate (four times that of 1.5T), decreased B1 homogeneity, longer T1 relaxation time, and increased susceptibility artifact. Despite these p...
متن کاملIn vitro and in vivo imaging characteristics assessment of polymeric coils compared with standard platinum coils for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Conventional platinum coils cause imaging artifacts that reduce imaging quality and therefore impair imaging interpretation on intraprocedural or noninvasive follow-up imaging. The purpose of this study was to evaluate imaging characteristics and artifact production of polymeric coils compared with standard platinum coils in vitro and in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS Poly...

OBJECTIVE Cochlear implants (CIs) are standard treatment for postlingually deafened individuals and prelingually deafened children. This human cadaver study evaluated diagnostic usefulness, image quality and artifacts in 1.5T and 3T magnetic resonance (MR) brain scans after CI with a removable magnet. METHODS Three criteria (diagnostic usefulness, image quality, artifacts) were assessed at 1....
متن کاملMR artifacts, heat production, and ferromagnetism of Guglielmi detachable coils.
The Guglielmi detachable coil, a platinum microcoil used in the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms, was studied in vitro for its MR imaging artifacts, heat production, and ferromagnetism. In addition, imaging artifacts were studied in vivo in eight patients who had undergone therapeutic placement of these coils. These devices displayed a very low level of MR artifact and no ferrom...
