Magnetic Resonance Imaging01:24

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

10.3K
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, or CMRI, is a non-invasive diagnostic test that employs a magnetic field and radiofrequency waves to create precise images of the heart and arteries. It provides comprehensive information about cardiac anatomy, function, perfusion, and tissue characterization without ionizing radiation.IndicationsCMRI diagnoses various heart conditions, including tissue damage from heart attacks, ischemic heart disease, myocarditis, aortic issues (tears, aneurysms,...

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...

Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Radiology
  • Dental Imaging

Background:

  • Current dental imaging methods like projection radiography and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) offer speed and cost-efficiency but have limitations.
  • These limitations include poor soft tissue contrast and exposure to ionizing radiation (X-rays).
  • There is a growing need for advanced dental imaging techniques, particularly for soft tissue management, driving interest in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate wireless, inductively-coupled intraoral coils for high-resolution dental MRI.
  • To assess the feasibility of MRI as a radiation-free alternative for dental imaging with improved soft tissue contrast.
  • To compare the performance of the novel intraoral MRI coils against conventional dental imaging modalities.

Main Methods:

  • Development of wireless, inductively-coupled intraoral coils designed for localized sensitivity.
  • Acquisition of ex vivo and in vivo dental MRI data using the developed intraoral coils.
  • Comparison of image quality, spatial resolution, and contrast with CBCT and clinical MRI equipment.

Main Results:

  • Ex vivo imaging demonstrated comparable image quality and complementary contrast to CBCT.
  • In vivo imaging achieved a voxel size of approximately 250 x 250 x 500 cubic micrometers in just 4 minutes.
  • The novel intraoral coils produced superior image quality within their sensitive volume compared to standard clinical dental MRI.

Conclusions:

  • Wireless intraoral MRI coils enable high-resolution imaging of dental soft tissues with excellent contrast.
  • This technology offers a promising radiation-free alternative to X-ray-based dental imaging, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy.
  • The enhanced imaging capabilities are expected to aid in better planning and monitoring of dental interventions, improving patient outcomes.
