Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer-Aided Surgery
  • Neuroimaging

Background:

  • Three-dimensional (3D) display technologies are advancing, expanding the applications of 3D data acquisition and postprocessing.
  • Virtual endoscopy algorithms offer novel ways to visualize internal anatomical structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe new applications of virtual endoscopic algorithms for 3D display of high-resolution Magnetic Resonance (MR) images.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of intracranial intravascular and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space virtual MR endoscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a virtual endoscopic algorithm for 3D display of high-resolution MR images.
  • Applied 3D fast imaging with steady-state free precession (FISP) sequence for intracranial intravascular virtual MR endoscopy.

  • Employed constructive interference in steady-state (CISS) 3D Fourier transform (3DFT) sequence for CSF spaces virtual MR endoscopy.
  • Displayed virtual endoscopic images using a commercial perspective volume-rendering algorithm.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully performed intracranial intravascular virtual MR endoscopy to visualize arteries.
    • Successfully performed virtual MR endoscopy of CSF spaces.
    • Obtained attractive images from internal viewpoints within the intracranial arteries and CSF spaces.

    Conclusions:

    • Virtual MR endoscopy is feasible for observing intracranial arteries and CSF spaces from internal perspectives.
    • While clinical applications are not yet established, the obtained images are promising.
    • Further investigations are warranted for intracranial virtual MR endoscopy.
