Abstract Purpose: To compare quantitative parameters for assessing the degree of eccentric systolic blood flow in ascending thoracic aorta (AsAo). Materials and Methods: Forty‐one patients were studied with three‐dimensional (3D), cine phase‐contract MRI (4D Flow). Analysis was performed at peak systole a cross‐sectional plane AsAo just distal to sinotubular junction. graded as normal, mildly, or markedly based on qualitative visual assessment. For analysis, jet angle normalized displacement...
A new prototype spectral photon-counting computed tomography (SPCCT) based on a modified clinical CT system has been developed. SPCCT analysis of the energy composition transmitted x-ray spectrum potentially allows simultaneous dual contrast agent imaging, however, this not yet demonstrated with such system. We investigated feasibility using to distinguish gold nanoparticles (AuNP) and an iodinated agent. The agents calcium phosphate were imaged in phantoms. Conventional CT, K-edge, iodine...

In vivo magnetic resonance (MR) angiography T2*-weighted plaque MR imaging performed at baseline after administration P904...
Purpose To determine the reproducibility of MRI aortic hemodynamic markers and to assess their relationship growth in a cohort patients with bicuspid valves (BAV). Materials Methods Twenty‐five previously studied four‐dimensional (4D) Flow imaging who had at least two separate cross‐sectional studies for were included: tricuspid valve (TAV) controls without valvular disease (n = 12) BAV 13). data from ascending aorta was used calculation peak velocity, normalized flow displacement, maximum...
Objectives In-stent restenosis (ISR) is one of the main long-term complications after coronary stent placement, and ability to evaluate ISR noninvasively using computed tomography (CT) angiography remains challenging. For this application, spectral photon-counting CT (SPCCT) has potential increase image quality reduce artifacts due its advanced detector technology. Our study aimed verify technical clinical a novel SPCCT prototype an phantom setup. Materials Methods Soft plaque-like (45 HU;...
To evaluate the feasibility of multicolour quantitative imaging with spectral photon-counting computed tomography (SPCCT) different mixed contrast agents.Phantoms containing eleven tubes mixtures varying proportions two agents (i.e. selected from gadolinium, iodine or gold nanoparticles) were prepared so that attenuation each tube was about 280 HU. Scans acquired at 120 kVp and 100 mAs using a five-bin preclinical SPCCT prototype, generating conventional, water, iodine, gadolinium images....
Abstract Diagnostic imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) requires a liver CT or MRI multiphase acquisition protocol. Patients would benefit from high-resolution method capable performing multi-phase in single without an increase radiation dose. Spectral Photon-Counting Computed Tomography (SPCCT) has recently emerged as novel and promising modality the field diagnostic radiology. SPCCT is able to distinguish between two contrast agents referred multicolor because, when measuring three...
Abstract Correct visualization of the vascular lumen is impaired in standard computed tomography (CT) because blooming artifacts, increase apparent size, induced by metallic stents and calcifications. Recently, due to introduction photon-counting detectors X-ray imaging field, a new prototype spectral CT (SPCCT) based on modified clinical system has been tested feasibility study for improving delineation coronary stent architecture. Coronary different metal composition were deployed inside...

Do mathematical symbols evoke spatial representations? Although behavioral studies have long demonstrated interactions between space and the processing of Arabic digits, how to interpret these results remains controversial. Here, we tested whether activity in regions supporting contributes conveying fundamental arithmetic concepts-such as operation signs-even absence associated digits. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, show that merely perceiving a "+" sign triggers brain support...

In the field of cardiovascular imaging, 4D flow MRI provides non-invasive assessment blood flow. Dual velocity encoding (dual-VENC) strategies have emerged to obtain quantitative information on both low and high velocities simultaneously. However, these often encounter difficulties in coping with large ranges. This work presents a dual-VENC sequence that utilizes coprime rule define VENC ratio. A reconstruction algorithm were developed validated vitro at two different strengths, using...
