Magnetic Resonance Imaging01:24

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

7.2K
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...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

171
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

231
Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary imaging
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Neoplasm detection

Background:

  • Pulmonary neoplasms require accurate visualization for diagnosis and follow-up.
  • Computed tomography (CT) is a standard imaging modality but involves radiation exposure.
  • Advanced MRI techniques are being explored as non-ionizing alternatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a zero-echo time (ZTE) MRI sequence.
  • To assess the performance of a highly flexible adaptive image receiving coil (AIR™ coil).
  • To compare MRI-ZTE with CT for visualizing pulmonary neoplasms.

Main Methods:

  • 42 patients with pulmonary neoplasms underwent both chest CT and MRI-ZTE using an AIR™ coil.
  • Subjective and objective image quality were compared between CT and MRI-ZTE.
  • Signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) and contrast-to-noise ratios (CNRs) were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • MRI-ZTE successfully visualized intrapulmonary structures and various pulmonary neoplasms.
  • Lesion detectability was comparable between MRI-ZTE and CT (P=0.8).
  • Good SNRs and CNRs were achieved for lung parenchyma, nodules, airways, and vessels with MRI-ZTE.

Conclusions:

  • MRI-ZTE with an AIR™ coil provides good image quality for detecting pulmonary neoplasms, including nodules and masses.
  • This technique demonstrates potential as a non-radiation alternative to CT for pulmonary neoplasm follow-up.
  • Further research may establish MRI-ZTE as a valuable tool in lung cancer management.
