Abstract

To evaluate accuracy of needle localisation using and signal enhancement on a 1.OT MR imager for various needles for MR-guided biopsy. The differences between actual and virtual needle position of needles with different orientations were evaluated in a phantom for spin-echo including turbo-spin-echo sequences. Artifacts depended on the orientation of the needle relative to the field B0, frequency-encoding gradients (Gf) and slice orientation. This resulted in different artifact shapes and sizes for left or right and cranial or caudal biopsy access routes. Applying turbo spin echo sequences feasible for biopsy, the signal void of a 18 G needle (Cook) parallel to Gf reached between 0.3 and. 4.6 mm further into the medium than the real needle tip, depending on needle orientation relative to B0. The diameter of the signal void around the needle varied, the needle shaft was right in the centre of the signal void. With Gf orthogonal to the needle the offset of signal void to needle tip ranged from 2.7 to 3.3 mm, while the actual position of the needle shaft was up to 3.3 mm lateral of the signal void center. While nominal echo times did not influence the size of the artifact in turbo-spin-echo sequences, the artifacts increased with ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
