  2. 1. Separation of Water and Fat Signal in Magnetic Resonance Imaging : Advances in Methods Based on Chemical Shift

    Author : Johan Berglund; Joel Kullberg; Lars Johansson; Håkan Ahlström; Zhi-Pei Liang; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Magnetic resonance imaging; digital image reconstruction; chemical shift imaging; water and fat separation; Dixon method; fat suppression; quantitative MRI; whole-body MRI; fatty acid composition; fat unsaturation; triglycerides; adipose tissue; liver fat; T2* mapping; Radiology; Radiologi; Radiology; Radiologi;

    Abstract : Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most important diagnostic tools of modern healthcare. The signal in medical MRI predominantly originates from water and fat molecules. READ MORE

  4. 2. Quantification of Fat Content and Fatty Acid Composition Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    Author : Pernilla Peterson; Malmö Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MRI; fat quantification; water fat imaging; chemical shift; skeletal muscle; fat reference; bipolar gradient; fatty acid composition; relaxation;

    Abstract : In obesity and several other disease scenarios, the measurement of fat accumulation in various organs and tissues has become a sought-after technique in clinical diagnostics and research. Especially, quantitative and non-invasive techniques which also provide images of accumulated fat throughout the body would be valuable. READ MORE

  5. 3. Fat-Referenced MRI : Quantitative MRI for Tissue Characterization and Volume Measurement

    Author : Thobias Romu; Magnus Borga; Olof Dahlqvist Leinhard; Samir Sharma; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MRI; water-fat separation; quantitative MRI;

    Abstract : The amount and distribution of adipose and lean tissues has been shown to be predictive of mortality and morbidity in metabolic disease. Traditionally these risks are assessed by anthropometric measurements based on weight, length, girths or the body mass index (BMI). READ MORE

  6. 4. Cancer imaging and image analysis methods in whole-body MRI and PET/MRI

    Author : Therese Sjöholm; Joel Kullberg; Filip Malmberg; Robin Strand; Håkan Ahlström; Einar Heiberg Brandt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; magnetic resonance imaging; diffusion weighted imaging; positron emission tomography; whole-body imaging; normal atlas; CAR T-cell therapy; lymphoma; medical image analysis; Computerized Image Processing; Datoriserad bildbehandling;

    Abstract : Diagnostic medical imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) can provide structural and functional assessments of the whole body. This has great value for potentially systemic diseases such as cancer. READ MORE

  7. 5. Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Human Brown Adipose Tissue : Methodological Development and Application

    Author : Elin Lundström; Joel Kullberg; Håkan Ahlström; Lars Johansson; Robin Strand; Sven Månsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Brown adipose tissue; Magnetic resonance imaging; Positron emission tomography; Image segmentation; Glucose metabolism;

    Abstract : Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a thermogenic organ with the main human depot located in the cervical-supraclavicular (sBAT) region. BAT is proposed as a potential therapeutic target for obesity and diabetes. READ MORE
