  2. 1. Quantitative Tracer Based MRI Perfusion : Potentials and Limitations

    Author : Arvid Morell; Atle Bjørnerud; Håkan Ahlström; Linda Knutsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MRI; Perfusion; Contrast agent; Relaxivity; Radiology; Radiologi;

    Abstract : Tracer based MRI perfusion measurements is a clinically useful tool to assess regional distributions of tissue blood flow and volume. The method may be based on any of the three relaxation mechanisms T1, T1 and T2*, the latter denoted DSC-MRI being the most common. READ MORE

  4. 2. Quantitative Evaluation of Contrast Agent Dynamics in Liver MRI

    Author : Nils Dahlström; Örjan Smedby; Torkel Brismar; Anders Ynnerman; Carsten Thomsen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Liver; spleen; hepatobiliary system; liver function; MRI; DCE-MRI; Gd-EOBDTPA; Gd-BOPTA; pharmacokinetic; hepatocyte; relaxivity.; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The studies presented here evaluate the biliary, parenchymal and vascular enhancement effects of two T1-shortening liver-specific contrast agents, Gd-BOPTA and Gd-EOB-DTPA, in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of healthy subjects and of patients.Ten healthy volunteers were examined with both contrast agents in a 1.

  5. 3. MRI Contrast Enhancement and Cell Labeling using Gd2O3 Nanoparticles

    Author : Anna Hedlund; Maria Engström; Kajsa Uvdal; Örjan Smedby; Lennart Blomqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : There is an increasing interest for nanomaterials in bio-medical applications and in this work, nanoparticles of gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3 ) have been investigated as a novel contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Relaxation properties have been studied in aqueous solutions as well as in cell culture medium and the nanoparticles have been explored as cell labeling agents. READ MORE

  6. 4. Colloidal synthesis of metal oxide nanocrystals and thin films

    Author : Fredrik Söderlind; Per-Olov Käll; Kajsa Uvdal; Mats Johnsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanoparticles; synthesis; contrast agents; functionalization; thin films; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : A main driving force behind the recent years’ immense interest in nanoscience and nanotechnology is the possibility of achieving new material properties and functionalities within, e.g., material physics, biomedicine, sensor technology, chemical catalysis, energy storing systems, and so on.
