Diffusion-weighted imaging versus superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-enhanced MRI: exclusive and combined values in the assessment of hepatic metastases
10 February 2012
Hana Kim, Jeong-Sik Yu, Eun-Suk Cho, Jae-Joon Chung, Joo Hee Kim, Dae Jung Kim, Jhii-Hyun Ahn, Ki Whang Kim
Abstract: Purpose: The purpose was to validate diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the assessment of hepatic metastases compared with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-enhanced magnetic resonance im...
Correction of chemical shift misregistration by images from two different bandwidths
10 February 2012
Haitao Zhu, Kazuyuki Demachi, Cuixiang Pei, Masaki Sekino, Mitsuru Uesaka
Abstract: One major effect caused by the different chemical shift frequencies of water and fat is the misregistration between the two components in MR images. Methods to correct misregistration are re...
Optimal real-time estimation in diffusion tensor imaging
03 February 2012
Pablo Casaseca-de-la-Higuera, Antonio Tristán-Vega, Santiago Aja-Fernández, Carlos Alberola-López, Carl-Fredrik Westin, Raúl San José Estépar
Abstract: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) constitutes the most used paradigm among the diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) techniques due to its simplicity and application potential....
Signal evolution in the local magnetic field of a capillary — analogy to the damped driven harmonic oscillator
03 February 2012
Christian H. Ziener, Thomas Kampf, Gerd Melkus, Peter M. Jakob, Heinz-Peter Schlemmer, Wolfgang R. Bauer
Abstract: The temporal behavior of the magnetization decay caused by the local inhomogeneous magnetic field of a capillary is analyzed. Respecting the diffusion of the spins surrounding the capillary ...
Multichannel transceiver dual-tuned RF coil for proton/sodium MR imaging of knee cartilage at 3 T
01 February 2012
Jung-Hwan Kim, Chan Hong Moon, Bum-Woo Park, Alessandro Furlan, Tiejun Zhao, Kyongtae T. Bae
Abstract: Sodium magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a promising technique for detecting changes of proteoglycan (PG) content in cartilage associated with knee osteoarthritis. Despite its potential cli...
