Interslice Magnetization Transfer Ratio Imaging for Meningioma Detection

176
Begin with a patient with meningioma, or a brain tumor, positioned in an MRI scanner for non-invasive brain imaging.Adjust the scanner to obtain structural images of individual slices of the brain.Enhance the contrast to improve tissue differentiation.Use interslice magnetization transfer ratio imaging on brain slices using radiofrequency pulses slightly offset from the MRI signal.The pulses deliver energy to the proton pool in macromolecules and bound water molecules.This energy transfers to...

We aim to identify the neural correlates underlying sustained and transient thought suppression, and thought re-emergence in controls, at-risk and depressed individuals. Activation was greatest for controls compared to the at-risk and the depressed group in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex during thought suppression and anterior cingulate cortex during thought...

The method presented here uses simultaneous positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. In the cerebral hypoxia-ischemia model, dynamic changes in diffusion and glucose metabolism occur during and after injury. The evolving and irreproducible damage in this model necessitates simultaneous acquisition if meaningful multi-modal imaging data are to be...

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Neuroimaging
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Background:

  • Brain tissue contains non-water hydrogen atoms in "semisolids" influencing MRI signals via magnetization transfer (MT).
  • Estimating the semisolid fraction using differential MT sensitization is vital for disease detection.
  • Current methods require multiple scans, limiting their utility in motion-sensitive scenarios.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a single-scan approach for quantifying MT effects in brain tissue.
  • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of semisolid fraction estimation in MRI.
  • To overcome limitations of existing multi-scan MT techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a stimulated echo sequence to create and manipulate water magnetization patterns.
  • Incorporated controlled exchange with semisolids and subsequent water magnetization saturation.
  • Employed reverse exchange and a third excitation pulse to form a stimulated echo for MT signal detection.

Main Results:

  • Successfully acquired MT data in human subjects at 7 Tesla, demonstrating expected time-dependent signal changes.
  • Achieved excellent suppression of background signals unrelated to exchange.
  • Observed a significant reduction in exchange-related signal (~75%) compared to traditional methods due to the two-step exchange process.

Conclusions:

  • Demonstrated the feasibility of observing MT signals in a single MRI acquisition without subtraction.
  • This single-scan method offers advantages for MT measurements in the presence of motion and physiological instabilities.
  • Potential for more robust and efficient assessment of brain tissue composition and disease-related changes.
