Abstract

To determine the feasibility of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) for characterizing perfusion properties and its potential diagnostic utility for nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). IVIM diffusion-weighted imaging is a promising technique that can measure perfusion and diffusion characteristics simultaneously in a noninvasive manner. Orbital IVIM in a 3.0T scanner was performed on 33 patients with NAION and 15 controls using readout-segmented echo-planar imaging, parallel imaging, and 2D navigator-based reacquisition (RESOLVE-IVIM). Both visual field (VF) and visual acuity (VA) examinations were performed in 19 of the patients. The vascular volume fraction (f), diffusion coefficient (D), and pseudodiffusion coefficient (D*) were calculated for quantitative analysis. Additionally, correlation analyses of IVIM parameters with visual function were also performed. Affected optic nerves showed significantly lower f values than both unaffected contralateral nerves of the patients and nerves of the controls (P < 0.0001), and no significant difference for f was found between unaffected contralateral nerves and nerves of the controls (P = 0.1602). In addition, D and D* values showed no significant differences amo...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
