Integrating fMRI data into 3D conventional radiotherapy treatmentplanning of brain tumors
Introduction: This study was aimed to investigate the beneficial effects of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data in treatment planning for patients with CNS tumors in order to decrease the injury of functional regions of the brain followed by increase in life quality and survival of patients. This study pursues a novel approach in planning for the treatment of brai...
متن کاملApplication of DENSE MR-Elastography to the human heart: first in vivo results
Introduction Typically, MR-Elastography (MRE) encodes the propagation of monochromatic acoustic waves in the MR-phase images via sinusoidal gradients characterized by a detection frequency equal to the frequency of the mechanical vibration [1]. Therefore, the echo time of a conventional MRE sequence is typically longer than the vibration period, which is critical for heart tissue exhibiting a s...
متن کاملMR Elastography of the Brain in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
Introduction Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a technique that uses MRI to noninvasively measure tissues stiffness [1]. Shear waves are introduced via a mechanical actuator, imaged using a phase-contrast MRI sequence, and then mathematically inverted to calculate tissue stiffness. Recently MRE has been investigated in the brain for its potential to detect diffuse diseases that are curre...
متن کاملQuantitative Comparison of SPM, FSL, and Brainsuite for Brain MR Image Segmentation
Background: Accurate brain tissue segmentation from magnetic resonance (MR) images is an important step in analysis of cerebral images. There are software packages which are used for brain segmentation. These packages usually contain a set of skull stripping, intensity non-uniformity (bias) correction and segmentation routines. Thus, assessment of the quality of the segmented gray matter (GM), ...
متن کاملComparison of state-of-the-art atlas-based bone segmentation approaches from brain MR images for MR-only radiation planning and PET/MR attenuation correction
Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in radiation treatment (RT) planning as well as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast. Due to the fact that there is no direct transformation from voxel intensity in MR images into electron density, itchr('39')s crucial to generate a pseudo-CT (Computed Tomography) image ...
