Objective: 1. To evaluate different pulse sequence options available for T2 Mapping of human myocardium vis-à-vis accuracy of T2 measurements in phantoms. 2. To propose a practical approach to T2 evaluation that can be used in clinical setting to distinguish tissues with T2 differences 3. To get a range of values for human myocardial T2 values using the most accurate and practical approach. 4. ...
PURPOSE To investigate the performance of T1 and T2 mapping to detect intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty STEMI patients were prospectively recruited between August 2013 and July 2014 following informed consent. Forty-eight patients completed a ...
OBJECTIVE Hippocampal sclerosis (HS), the most common cause of refractory temporal lobe epilepsy, is associated with hippocampal volume loss and increased T2 signal. These can be identified on quantitative imaging with hippocampal volumetry and T2 relaxometry. Although hippocampal segmentation for volumetry has been automated, T2 relaxometry currently involves subjective and time-consuming manu...
BACKGROUND Myocardial T1 and T2 mapping using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) are promising to improve tissue characterization and early disease detection. This study aimed at analyzing the feasibility of T1 and T2 mapping at 3 T and providing reference values. METHODS Sixty healthy volunteers (30 males/females, each 20 from 20-39 years, 40-59 years, 60-80 years) underwent left-ventri...
Background Reperfusion injury in acute myocardial infarction (MI) results in edema, necrosis, microvascular obstruction (MVO), and intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH), the latter presents an interesting clinical target. [1] Cardiovascular MRI has been shown capable of characterizing all of these tissue components. Other than MVO, which is currently detected by flow-deficient regions in contrast en...
RATIONALE Qualitatively, FLAIR MR imaging is sensitive to the detection of hippocampal sclerosis (HS). Quantitative analysis of T2 maps provides a useful objective measure and increased sensitivity over visual inspection of T2-weighted scans. We aimed to determine whether quantification of normalised FLAIR is as sensitive as T2 mapping in detection of HS. METHOD Dual echo T2 and FLAIR MR imag...
Acute hematomas can appear hypointense on T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images at field strengths as low as 0.35 T. Using Raman spectroscopy to measure blood oxygenation and taking T2 measurements at 2.1 and 9.4 T, the authors examined the relaxation mechanisms acting during deoxygenation, increases in hematocrit, and fibrin-clot formation and retraction. Individual contributions to overa...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffuse axonal injury is frequently accompanied by tissue tear hemorrhages. We examined whether high field strength T2*-weighted gradient-echo imaging performed during the chronic stage of traumatic brain injury may have advantages in the evaluation of diffuse axonal injury as compared with T1- and T2-weighted MR imaging. METHODS Prospective MR imaging of 66 patients (a...
BACKGROUND Transfusional therapy for thalassemia major and sickle cell disease can lead to iron deposition and damage to the heart, liver, and endocrine organs. Iron causes the MRI parameters T1, T2, and T2* to shorten in these organs, which creates a potential mechanism for iron quantification. However, because of the danger and variability of cardiac biopsy, tissue validation of cardiac iron ...
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of quantitative T2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for quantifying early cervical intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration in asymptomatic young adults by correlating the T2 value with Pfirrmann grade, sex, and anatomic level. METHODS Seventy asymptomatic young subjects (34 men and 36 women; mean age, 22.80±2.11 yr; range, 18-2...
