Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

251
DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

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...

Imaging Studies IV: Magnetic Resonance Imaging

212
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:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biophysics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Ultrashort echo time (UTE) MRI allows direct imaging of cortical bone.
  • Bicomponent T2* modeling quantifies water compartments in bone.
  • Conventional UTE methods use separate scans, leading to inconsistencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an interleaved dual-echo UTE sequence for improved bicomponent T2* quantification.
  • To overcome limitations of conventional separate dual-echo scans in cortical bone MRI.
  • To reduce inter-scan inconsistencies like motion and signal drift.

Main Methods:

  • An interleaved dual-echo UTE sequence with flexible echo time spacing was implemented.
  • The sequence was tested on healthy subjects' tibial midshafts.
  • Comparisons were made against conventional separate dual-echo scans with and without registration.
  • Bicomponent T2* modeling and NRMSE analysis were used to evaluate fitting accuracy.
  • Scan repeatability was assessed through repeated scans on three subjects.

Main Results:

  • The interleaved method significantly reduced normalized-root-mean-squared error (NRMSE) compared to separate scans (3.2% vs. 6.2%).
  • Lower and more stable T2* (T2s*) and fraction (Fs) of short T2 components were observed with the interleaved sequence.
  • Image registration offered minimal improvement for separate scans.
  • Interleaved scans demonstrated more homogeneous parameter maps and improved repeatability (lower coefficients of variance).

Conclusions:

  • The proposed interleaved UTE dual-echo sequence enhances the robustness of bicomponent T2* mapping in cortical bone.
  • This novel sequence effectively reduces inter-scan inconsistencies, improving quantification accuracy.
  • The findings support the use of interleaved UTE for more reliable bone MRI analysis.
