Marker device for X-ray, ultrasound and MR imaging
InactiveUS20060293581A1Sharp contrastEasily introduced into tissueUltrasonic/sonic/infrasonic diagnosticsPowder deliveryDiagnostic Radiology ModalityMicrosphere
An imaging marker comprised of glass and iron-containing aluminum microspheres in a gel matrix which shows uniformly good contrast with MR, US and X-Ray imaging. The marker is small and can be easily introduced into tissue through a 12-gauge biopsy needle. The concentration of glass microspheres and the size dictate the contrast for US imaging. The contrast seen in MRI resulting from susceptibility losses is dictated by the number of iron-containing aluminum microspheres; while the artifact of the marker also depends on its shape, orientation and echo time. By optimizing the size, iron concentration and gel binding, an implantable tissue marker is created which is clearly visible with all three imaging modalities.

A method and apparatus for enhancing the spectral resolution of magnetic resonance spectroscopic (MRS) measurements include receiving time domain echo data from an MRS measurement for an MRS volume in a subject. Also received are high spatial resolution complex signal values within the MRS volume based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements. Frequency-domain content is determined for the echo data based at least in part on the complex signal values. For example, in some embodiments, receiving complex signal values includes receiving high spatial resolution complex signal values within the MRS volume for each of two different echo time settings. The frequency-domain content of the echo data is corrected for a lineshape profile based on high resolution frequency dispersion values for the MRS volume determined from differences in the complex signal values for the two different echo time settings.

InactiveUS6489766B1Measurements using NMR imaging systemsElectric/magnetic detectionMagnetizationSingle shot
A method for eliminating then on-MG component in RARE imaging that does not require a poor slice profile or discarding a substantial number of echoes (FIG. 2). This method relies upon the observation that the magnetization in each component is determined by the phase at one half of the echo time before the first refocusing pulse. A ninety degree pulse applied at this time will rotate one of the components to the longitudinal axis where it will be invisible in the subsequent sequence, (b RF). If the phase of the ninety degree pulse is the same as that of the refocusing pulses, then it will be the non-MG component that is eliminated. The combination of the tailored RF train and this ninety degree pulse permits acquisition of data from the very first echo without artifact (FIGS. 2, 4).

Mapping of myelin water content in white matter may provide important information for early diagnosis of multiple sclerosis and the detection of white matter abnormality in other diseases. It is disclosed here that free induction decay (FID) of each voxel at multiple slice locations is acquired in the brain using an echo-planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) pulse sequence. The multi-slice EPSI acquisition is designed to have a short first echo time (˜2 ms) and echo-spacing (˜1 ms) in order to acquire multiple sampling points during the fast decay of the myelin water signal. Multi-compartment analysis is then applied to the FID in each pixel using a 3-pool model of white matter to obtain quantitative maps of the myelin water fraction. Using this technique, the MR data for whole brain mapping of the myelin water can be acquired in less than 10 minutes, making this technique feasible for routine clinical applications.
