    摘要: An electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI) system includes a resistive magnet driven by a power supply such as a power supply module to generate radio frequency signals in a substantially coherent polyphase perfect sequence scheme. The EPRI system further includes image acquisition and processing electronics configured to generate, acquire, quantify and map pO2 information associated with a free radical agent in vivo and having a resonance line width that is sensitive to oxygen and in response to the radio frequency signals without imparting harmful heating effects to a corresponding human or animal body.

    摘要: The use of selective RF excitation is discussed. A spectrally selective, large tip angle RF pulse is used to detect a weak signal from a first chemical species. A non-selective, small tip angle pulse is used in measuring a signal from a second chemical species in exchange with the first chemical species. The acquired resonance data provides maybe used to measure the ratio of the spectrally distinct species in exchange.

    摘要: A method of imaging the individual components of systems with sparse spectra using magnetic resonance imaging including the steps of a) exciting nuclei of labeled components using a MRI pulse sequence, b) selecting a proper spectral window to avoid/minimize signal overlap of aliased frequency components. In step a) preferably a spiral chemical shift imaging (spCSI) sequence is employed. In a preferred embodiment, hyperpolarized nuclei of 13C are used for labeling in a pyruvate substrate with metabolites of lacatate, alanine, and bicarbonate.

    摘要: A method for increasing sensitivity and/or specificity of a magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging technique for detecting a neurodegenerative disease is provided. The method includes acquiring magnetic resonance spectroscopy data from the brain of a subject, while suppressing certain metabolites in the spectrum via a data acquisition protocol, to improve quantification accuracy for the remaining metabolites, and quantifying a metabolite concentration or a metabolite concentration ratio from the spectral data as an indicator of the neurodegenerative disease.

    摘要: A method for imaging cancer using a combined PET-MRI system takes advantage of the performance characteristics for both PET and MRI in the context of cancer imaging. MRI is used to assess a large area of the body with high sensitivity for cancer and PET is then used in localized areas of concern to provide physiological information. Optionally, MRI may also then be used to re-scan the localized areas of concern with high spatial resolution and additional tissue contrasts to provide anatomical information and soft tissue contrast to supplement the PET information. The use of a combined PET-MRI system ensures that the imaging data from both modalities is accurately referenced to the same locations in the body.
