Die HP-13C-Substanzen wurden in den lebenden Organismus injiziert und ihr Metabolismus in Echtzeit mithilfe des „chemical shift imaging" (CSI) darge- stellt. Es gibt bisher keine spezifische klinische Anwendung der HP-MRSI in der Brustdiagnostik. Mehrere präkli- nische und translational...
The staging of patients with multiple myeloma demands sensitive imaging methods for the assessment of the skeletal system. MRI allows for direct visualization of the bone marrow which exhibits five different infiltration patterns in multiple myeloma: 1. normal appearance of the bone marrow, 2. focal...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the clinical method of choice for cartilage imaging in the context of degenerative and nondegenerative joint diseases. The MRI-based definitions of osteoarthritis rely on the detection of osteophytes, cartilage pathologies, bone marrow edema ...
Typical artifacts (susceptibility distortions, N/2 artifact, chemical shift artifact and eddy currents artifact) had to be considered when interpreting images. Conclusions: Provided typical artifacts are taken into consideration, echo-planar DW MRI allows a more precise diagnostic assessment...
