Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

7.8K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

8.8K
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: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:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Background:

  • Sub-millimeter imaging at 7T MRI offers detailed brain structure analysis across the lifespan.
  • Subject motion during scanning degrades image quality, limiting quantitative assessments.
  • Existing motion correction methods lack widespread application and quantitative evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a method for quantifying brain structure sharpness at sub-voxel resolution.
  • To assess the relationship between head motion and image sharpness in 7T MRI.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of motion correction in improving image sharpness.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective motion correction of quantitative R1, R2*, Quantitative Susceptibility Maps, and T1-weighted images using 3D fat-excited motion navigators.
  • Quantification of sharpness in selected ROIs by fitting an error function to homogeneous clusters.
  • Evaluation in a cohort of 24 healthy volunteers across a wide age range.

Main Results:

  • A strong, nearly linear correlation was observed between motion and sharpness improvement.
  • Motion correction significantly enhanced image sharpness across all modalities.
  • Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) for sharpness reduced from 0.88 mm to 0.70 mm post-correction.
  • No significant correlation was found between motion/sharpness and participant age.

Conclusions:

  • Motion correction using fat navigators effectively restores image sharpness to the intrinsic imaging resolution.
  • The developed sharpness quantification method is robust and applicable across various MRI contrasts.
  • This technique holds promise for improving the reliability of quantitative neuroimaging studies, particularly in populations susceptible to motion.
