1. 1. Gradient echo-based quantitative MRI of human brain at 7T : Mapping of T1, MT saturation and local flip angle

   Författare :Hampus Olsson; Lund Medicinsk strålningsfysik; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MR studies; magnetic resonance MR ; 7 Tesla; T1 mapping; magnetization transfer saturation; Flip angle mapping; spoiled gradient echo; MR studies; magnetic resonance MR ; 7T; T1 mapping; magnetization transfer saturation; Flip angle mapping; spoiled gradient echo;

   Sammanfattning : Quantitative MRI (qMRI) refers to the process of deriving maps of MR contrast parameters, such as relaxation times, from conventional images. If the qMRI maps have a high degree of precision and a low degree of bias, they can be compared longitudinally, across subjects, and (ideally) between measurement protocols and research sites.

   Sammanfattning : Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic disease and one of the major global causes for functional disabilities. The disease is characterized by loss and degradation of cartilage, commonly affecting the knees and hips. LÄS MER

4. 3. Measurement of T1 relaxation time in lungs - Preclinical and clinical MRI applications to COPD

   Författare :Daniel Alamidi; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; biomarker; tobacco smoke; mouse; smoking; lung imaging; Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease; ultrashort echo time UTE ; T1 mapping; longitudinal relaxation time;

   Sammanfattning : Monitoring of regional lung function in clinical trials of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) requires alternative endpoints beyond global pulmonary function tests (PFTs), which is the most common approach for diagnosing lung function abnormalities in humans. A promising magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarker of lung disease in humans and animals is the T1 relaxation parameter. LÄS MER

5. 4. Signal Processing for Spectroscopic Applications

   Författare :Erik Gudmundson; Peter Stoica; Peter Händel; Stoica Stoica; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; spectral estimation; spectroscopic techniques; MRI; NMR; NQR; signal detection; parameter estimation; missing data; non-uniform sampling; damped sinusoids; detection of explosives; T1-mapping; relaxometry; brain imaging; skin imaging; blood velocity estimation; medical ultrasound; Signal processing; Signalbehandling; Elektroteknik med inriktning mot reglerteknik; Electrical Engineering with specialization in Automatic Control;

   Sammanfattning : Spectroscopic techniques allow for studies of materials and organisms on the atomic and molecular level. Examples of such techniques are nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy—one of the principal techniques to obtain physical, chemical, electronic and structural information about molecules—and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—an important medical imaging technique for, e.

7. 5. The aging brain and changes in cognitive performance : Findings from morphometry and quantitative susceptibility mapping of iron

   Författare :Ninni Persson; Håkan Fischser; Kristine B. Walhovd; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; brain aging; volumes; ndividual differences; QSM; cognitive aging; iron; episodic memory; fluid-; crystalized abilities; sex differences; gender differences; Psychology; psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : Brain aging is a heterogeneous phenomenon, and this thesis illustrates how the course of aging can vary within individuals over time and between individuals as a function of age, sex, and genetic variability. We used two contrasts from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), namely spin-lattice T1-weighted imaging, and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) from gradient-echo images, to picture the aging brain, by means of morphometric measures and brain-iron concentrations.
