Magnetic Resonance Imaging01:24

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

5.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biophysics
  • Neuroimaging

Background:

  • Divided and subtracted MRI is a novel image processing technique.
  • It generates high T1 or T2 weighting over specific tissue ranges by dividing the difference of two images by their sum.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation and application of divided Subtracted Inversion Recovery Sequence (dSIR) for T1 imaging.
  • To describe the divided echo subtraction (dES) sequence for T2* imaging of musculoskeletal tissues.
  • To explain contrast generation, review research applications, and discuss challenges of these techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of the divided Subtracted Inversion Recovery Sequence (dSIR) for T1-weighted imaging.
  • Development of the divided echo subtraction (dES) sequence for T2*-weighted imaging.
  • Application of these techniques to study white matter changes and musculoskeletal tissues.

Main Results:

  • dSIR detects widespread T1 changes in normal-appearing white matter in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), substance abuse, and ischemic leukoencephalopathy.
  • dSIR can be targeted to measure small T1 changes in various tissues.
  • dES images musculoskeletal tissues with very short T2*, such as fascia, tendons, and aponeuroses.

Conclusions:

  • Divided and subtracted MRI techniques offer novel approaches for sensitive tissue characterization.
  • dSIR is valuable for detecting subtle white matter abnormalities in neurological conditions.
  • dES is effective for imaging specific musculoskeletal structures.
