摘要: Author(s): Hong, Wen; He, Qun; Fan, Shujuan; Carl, Michael; Shao, Hongda; Chen, Jun; Chang, Eric Y; Du, Jiang | Abstract: PurposeTo investigate two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrashort echo time (UTE) 3D magnetization-prepared rapid gradient-echo (MP-RAGE) sequences for the imaging of iron-oxide nanoparticles (IONP).MethodsThe phantoms were composed tubes filled with different IONP concentrations ranging from 2 to 45 mM. The fixed in an agarose gel phantom (0.9% by weight). Morphological was performed MP-RAGE, 2D UTE, adiabatic inversion recovery-prepared UTE (2D IR-UTE), Cones trajectory (3D Cones), IR-Cones sequences. Quantitative assessment concentration using R2*(1/T2*) R1 (1/T1 ) measurements a 3 Tesla (T) scanner.ResultsThe MP-RAGE sequence provides high-contrast images up 7.5 Higher 37.5 mM can be detected sequences, highest contrast provided sequence. A linear relationship observed between R2* ∼45 mM, ∼30 mM.ConclusionThe clinical used assess lower higher Magn Reson Med 78:226-232, 2017. © 2016 International Society Magnetic Resonance Medicine.
