Abstract

Vascular-space-occupancy (VASO) MRI without contrast injection was explored for imaging cerebral blood volume (CBV) and tissue heterogeneity in gliomas (n = 10). VASO contrast complemented contrast-enhanced T(1)-weighted (GAD-T(1)w), FLAIR and T(1)w magnetization-prepared-rapid-gradient-echo (MPRAGE) images. High-grade gliomas showed a VASO-outlined hyperintense zone corresponding to long-T(1) regions in MPRAGE and to nonenhancing regions in GAD-T(1)w images. FLAIR, MPRAGE, and VASO data were used to segment tumors into multiple zones of different T(1). After removal of known resection areas using pre- and postsurgical MRI, the volume of overlap between the hyperintense VASO-zone and the long-T(1) MPRAGE zone correlated with that of GAD-T(1)w enhancement (R(2) = 0.99) and tumor grade. Based on these correlations, this remaining long T(1) overlap area was tentatively assigned to necrosis. In one promising case the collective T(1)-weighted approach accurately identified a low-grade glioma despite the presence of contrast enhancement in GAD-T(1)w images consequential to chemoradiation-associated treatment effect. The results suggest that this collective T(1)-weighted approach may provide useful information for regional assessment ...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.
