Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan01:13

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

711
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

981
Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Quantitative lung imaging is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring pulmonary diseases.
  • Current methods often require breath-holding or separate acquisitions, limiting their clinical utility.
  • Oxygen-enhanced MRI offers potential for assessing gas exchange and tissue oxygenation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and assess a self-gated, free-breathing 3D MRI sequence for simultaneous T1-weighted imaging and quantitative T2* mapping.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of this technique for oxygen-enhanced functional lung imaging.
  • To compare imaging results during room air and 100% oxygen breathing in different respiratory phases.

Main Methods:

  • A 3D MRI sequence utilizing ultrashort echo times and interleaved double readouts was implemented at 1.5 T.
  • Six healthy volunteers underwent imaging while breathing room air and 100% oxygen.
  • Images were reconstructed for expiratory and inspiratory phases and analyzed for T2* values and signal intensity changes.

Main Results:

  • Average T2* values decreased by 10.1% when breathing 100% oxygen compared to room air.
  • T1-weighted images showed an 11.2% increase in signal intensity during 100% oxygen breathing.
  • A significant signal intensity change of 26.5% was observed between expiratory and inspiratory phases.

Conclusions:

  • The developed 3D MRI sequence enables simultaneous T1-weighted imaging and T2* mapping of the lung in a free-breathing manner.
  • This technique shows potential for providing comprehensive information on lung ventilation, oxygen transfer, and expansion in a single session.
  • Further research is warranted to explore its clinical applicability and diagnostic value in various lung diseases.
