Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System IV: CMRI

257
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,...

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...

DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Area of Science:

  • Inorganic Chemistry
  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiochemistry

Background:

  • Gadolinium (III)-based contrast agents for MRI face toxicity concerns.
  • Essential metal ions like Manganese (II) are being explored as safer alternatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize a novel Manganese (II) complex for MRI applications.
  • To evaluate the stability, kinetic inertness, and relaxivity of the new complex.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis and characterization of the macrocyclic Manganese (II) chelate [Mn(PC2A-BP)].
  • Assessment of thermodynamic stability and kinetic inertness.
  • Measurement of relaxivity in the presence of human serum albumin.

Main Results:

  • [Mn(PC2A-BP)] demonstrated high thermodynamic stability (log KMnL = 14.86, pMn = 8.35) and kinetic inertness (t1/2pH=7.4 = 286.2 h).
  • The complex exhibited remarkable relaxivity (r1p = 23.5 mM−1 s−1 at 0.49 T, 37 °C).
  • Significant MRI signal enhancement in vasculature was observed even at a low dose (25 μmol/kg).

Conclusions:

  • [Mn(PC2A-BP)] is a highly stable and kinetically inert Manganese (II) complex with excellent relaxivity.
  • This complex shows potential as a safer and effective MRI contrast agent, particularly for vascular imaging.
