  1. 6. MRI Contrast Enhancement using Gd2O3 Nanoparticles

    Författare :Anna Klasson; Maria Engström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; nanoparticles; gadolinium oxide; magnetic resonance imaging; contrast agent; Medicine; Medicin;

    Sammanfattning : There is an increasing interest for nanomaterials in biomedical 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. LÄS MER

  3. 7. The Utility of Ultrasmall Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Contrast Agents for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    Författare :Lars Johansson; Håkan Ahlström; Hans-Jørgen Smith; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiology; Magnetic resonance imaging; Contrast agent; Iron Oxide; Cardiovascular; Radiologisk forskning; Radiological research; Radiologisk forskning;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the utility of the Ultrasmall Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Particle (USPIO), NC100150 Injection for assessment of macro- and microvascular morphology and function using magnetic resonance imaging. The feasibility of NC100150 Injection was tested for the following applications: Coronary angiography, Thrombus detection, Cardiac function, Myocardial perfusion, Assessment of myocardial blood volume and water exchange and finally assessment of endothelial integrity of the myocardium.

  4. 8. An Analysis of NMRD profiles and ESR lineshapes of MRI Contrast Agents

    Författare :Xiangzhi Zhou; Per-Olof Westlund; Jozef Kowalewski; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical chemistry; MRI contrast agent; MS-325; Spin relaxation; NMRD; ESR; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry; fysikalisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : To optimize contrast agent in MRI scan region, e.g. to enhance paramagnetic relaxation in the MRI scan fields(0.1T-3T), one possible way is to slow down the tumbling of the paramagnetic complex. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Assessment of Myocardial Perfusion with Magnetic Resonance Imaging and an Intravascular Contrast Agent

    Författare :Tomas Bjerner; Christine Lorenz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Magnetic resonance imaging; Intravascular contrast agents; Myocardial perfusion; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; radiologi; Radiology;

    Sammanfattning : The intravascular contrast agent NC100150 Injection (Clariscan™) was tested for its ability to induce signal intensity changes in myocardium, both in steady state and during first pass, and thereby demarcating non-perfused myocardium from perfused. Steady state: Ex vivo in pigs and when using 4 mg Fe/kg bodyweight (b.w. LÄS MER

  7. 10. On contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography of the aortoiliac arteries

    Författare :Johan Wikström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Magnetic resonance imaging; Magnetic resonance angiography; Contrast media; Arteriosclerosis; Iliac artery; Blood pressures; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; radiologi; Radiology;

    Sammanfattning : In contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA),vascular signal is produced by the acquisition of a T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scan while the presence of a contrast agent induces a low T1 in blood. In this thesis,CE-MRA of the aortoiliac arteries was evaluated. LÄS MER
