Magnetic Resonance Imaging01:24

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

5.3K
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...

Assessment of Diffusion and Perfusion

1.0K
Understanding and evaluating diffusion and perfusion is critical in assessing a patient's respiratory and circulatory health. These processes play key roles in maintaining the body's internal environment, ensuring that tissues receive adequate oxygen while waste products are efficiently removed.
The Role of Diffusion in Respiration
Diffusion is the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In the respiratory system, this...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System IV: CMRI

65
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biophysics
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • Placental imaging is crucial for monitoring fetal development and identifying complications.
  • Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides detailed tissue characterization.
  • Low-field MRI offers potential advantages in cost, accessibility, and patient comfort.

Approach:

  • Utilized a commercially available 0.55T MRI scanner for placental imaging.
  • Employed a combined diffusion technique to acquire multiple diffusion preparations and echo times simultaneously.
  • Developed quantitative apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and T2 maps using a combined T2-ADC model.

Key Points:

  • Quantitative parameter maps generated at 0.55T closely resemble those obtained at higher field strengths.
  • Observed trends in T2 and ADC values across gestational age align with previous findings.
  • Demonstrated the feasibility of reliable quantitative multi-parametric mapping in the placenta at low-field MRI.

Conclusions:

  • Combined T2-diffusion placental MRI is reliably achievable at 0.55T.
  • Low-field MRI's advantages (cost, accessibility, patient comfort) can facilitate widespread adoption.
  • Placental MRI at 0.55T can serve as a valuable adjunct to ultrasound in prenatal care.
