Magnetic Resonance Imaging01:24

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

5.2K
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...

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...

X-ray Imaging

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

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
  • Radiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Computed Tomography (CT) is the standard for pediatric craniofacial surgical planning.
  • CT involves ionizing radiation, posing risks for pediatric patients.
  • Developing radiation-free alternatives is crucial for improved patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate three Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) cranial bone imaging techniques.
  • To assess their potential as radiation-free alternatives to CT for surgical planning.
  • To identify the strengths and limitations of each MRI technique.

Main Methods:

  • Ten healthy adults underwent 3 Tesla MRI scans.
  • Three sequences were tested: DURANDE (dual-radiofrequency and dual-echo ultrashort echo time), ZTE (zero echo time), and GRE (gradient-echo).
  • Image analysis included skull segmentation, craniometric distance measurement, and contrast assessment.

Main Results:

  • All three MRI techniques demonstrated good overlap in skull segmentations and excellent agreement in craniometric measurements.
  • DURANDE and ZTE exhibited superior air-bone contrast and soft-tissue suppression compared to GRE.
  • ZTE showed low acoustic noise, while DURANDE requires specific corrections and manufacturer support.

Conclusions:

  • ZTE and DURANDE are viable radiation-free MRI alternatives for craniofacial imaging.
  • ZTE requires bias-field correction for optimal bone-air-tissue differentiation.
  • DURANDE, while effective, is not yet manufacturer-supported and needs scanner-specific adjustments.
