Abstract

The aim of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the relationship between short echo time pulmonary (1)H magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal intensity (SI) and (3)He MRI apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC), high-resolution computed tomography (CT) measurements of emphysema, and pulmonary function measurements. Nine healthy never-smokers and 11 COPD subjects underwent same-day plethysmography, spirometry, short echo time ((TE)=1.2ms) (1)H and diffusion-weighted hyperpolarized (3)He MRI (b=1.6s/cm(2)) at 3.0T. In addition, for COPD subjects only, CT densitometry was also performed. Mean (1)H SI was significantly greater for never-smokers (12.1 ± 1.1 arbitrary units (AU)) compared to COPD subjects (10.9 ± 1.3 AU, p=0.04). The (1)H SI AP-gradient was also significantly greater for never-smokers (0.40 AU/cm, R(2)=0.94) compared to COPD subjects (0.29 AU/cm, R(2)=0.968, p=0.05). There was a significant correlation between (1)H SI and (3)He ADC (r=-0.58, p=0.008) and significant correlations between (1)H MR SI and CT measurements of emphysema (RA950, r=-0.69, p=0.02 and HU15, r=0.66, p=0.03). The significant and moderately strong relationship between (1)H SI and (3)He ADC, as well as between (1)H SI and CT measurements of em...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.

Aphasia

Aphasia affects the ability to process language, including formulation and comprehension of language and speech, as well as the ability to read or write. Here is the latest research on aphasia.
