摘要:
MR based molecular imaging is used for the quantification of contrast agent concentrations. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a difference between R2 and R2* relaxation rates of a contrast agent is determined on the basis of data measured after contrast agent application. This may provide for an in vivo information relating to a compartmentalization or binding status of the contrast agent, and thus may improve the significance of the examination result.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method MRI imaging. By applying a time modulation to the contrast enhancement of an MRI contrast agent, the method according to the invention leads to images with improved signal-to-noise ratio in the contrast-enhanced areas, strongly suppressed unwanted signal in the unenhanced areas, and reduced artefacts, such as motion artefacts.
