概括
魔法角度效应 (MAE) 主要解释了在3T处白质的取决于方向的横向松. 敏感性影响有部分贡献,MAE是主要的驱动因素,挑战了以前的解释.
科学领域:
- 生物物理学的生物物理.
- 神经成像是一种神经成像.
- 磁共振成像是一种磁共振成像技术.
背景情况:
- 人类大脑白质 (WM) 的取决于方向的横向放松得到了充分的证据,但其生物物理基础仍在争论中.
- 之前的研究表明基于易感性的机制,但魔法角度效应 (MAE) 的作用需要进一步调查.
研究的目的:
- 调查MAE和基于易感性的机制对WM在3特斯拉 (3T) 和7特斯拉 (7T) 的方向依赖横向放松的相对贡献.
- 为了区分MAE和易感性影响,使用基于的框架和通用MAE模型.
主要方法:
- 对25名年轻成年人的扩散张量成像 (DTI) 数据集的分析 (人类结合体项目) 在3T和7T获得.
- 使用基于的框架与通用MAE模型来从T2加权图像 (b=0) 中推导取决于方向的横向放松率 (R2a).
- 对场强度的R2a值进行了比较,并评估了之前报告的基于梯度回声 (GRE) 的R2a值.
主要成果:
- 对于b=1000s/mm2,R2a从3T时的4.0±1.1s−1增加到7T时的5.6±1.6s−1 (b=1000s/mm2),得到的比率为 η < 1.5.5.
- 敏感性影响对R2a有部分贡献,估计在3T时为8.3 ± 10.2%,在7T时为34.5 ± 42.2%.
- 基于GRE的R2a值接近于统一,与T2加权衍生R2a形成鲜明对比.
结论:
- 魔法角度效应 (MAE) 是3T时在WM中依赖方向的横向放松的主要机制.
- 易感性影响起到部分作用,但MAE的优势提供了与以前基于易感性的解释相比修订的解释.
- 这些发现强调了考虑MAE在MRI中理解白质放松性能的重要性.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

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...

Atomic Nuclei: Types of Nuclear Relaxation
924
Nuclear relaxation restores the equilibrium population imbalance and can occur via spin–lattice or spin–spin mechanisms, which are first-order exponential decay processes.
In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers...

Atomic Nuclei: Nuclear Relaxation Processes
1.2K
In the absence of an external magnetic field, nuclear spin states are degenerate and randomly oriented. When a magnetic field is applied, the spins begin to precess and orient themselves along (lower energy) or against (higher energy) the direction of the field. At equilibrium, a slight excess population of spins exists in the lower energy state. Because the direction of the magnetic field is fixed as the z-axis, the precessing magnetic moments are randomly oriented around the z-axis.

Two-Dimensional (2D) NMR: Overview
1.5K
The 1D NMR spectrum of large and complex molecules like natural products has complicated splitting patterns and overlapping signals, which can be easily interpreted using 2-dimensional (2D) NMR. Unlike 1D NMR, 2D NMR has two frequency axes that provide the coupling information between the nucleus A and nucleus B in a molecule. The process from which 2D spectra are obtained has four steps.
The first step is the preparation period, during which nucleus A is excited with a radiofrequency pulse....

¹H NMR of Conformationally Flexible Molecules: Temporal Resolution
1.3K
At room temperature, the chair conformer of cyclohexane undergoes rapid ring flipping between two equivalent chair conformers at a rate of approximately 105 times per second. These two chair conformers are in equilibrium. The rapid ring flipping results in the interconversion of the axial proton to an equatorial proton and an equatorial to the axial proton. Such interconversions are too rapid and cannot be detected on the NMR timescale. Hence, the NMR spectrometer cannot distinguish between the...
