Diffusion-Tensor MR Imaging and Fiber Tractography
01-Jul-2008
A New Method of Describing Aberrant Fiber Connections in Developmental CNS Anomalies Congenital anomalies of the central nervous system (CNS) often demonstrate aberrant white matter connections, which may be better characterized with diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) and fiber tractography (FT) than with conventional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. DTI-FT demonstrates abnormal hemispheric fiber ... Read more
Diffusion Weighted Whole Body Imaging with Background Body Signal Suppression (DWIBS)
01-Jul-2008
Technical Improvement Using Free Breathing, STIR and High Resolution 3D Display The AppCNR of 8 mm slice thickness images reconstructed from 4 mm slice thickness source images obtained in a free breathing scan of 430 sec were much better than 9 mm slice thickness breath-hold scans obtained in 25 sec. High resolution multi-planar reformat (MPR) and maximum intensity projection (MIP) images ... Read more
Whole body magnetic resonance imaging
01-Jul-2008
A valuable adjunct to clinical examination
When Lauterbur and Damadian described the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a clinical imaging tool in the early 1970s the popular belief was that the technique would become the ultimate screening tool for the whole body. However, similar to other modalities limited by cost, acquisition times, availability, and artefact produced by ... Read more
