Influence of selecting EPI readout-encoding bandwidths on arterial spin labeling perfusion MRIEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Although N2 ghosting can be reduced by adjusting the bandwidth of EPI on the time-series of PWI data, the effects cannot be entirely eliminated. In particular, N2 ghosting can bias CBF quantification if EPI control scans to determine the equilibrium-state signal are confounded by N2 ghosting. Therefore, careful tuning of the bandwidth of EPI is necessary to avoid artifacts in the ASL signal from N2-ghosting.

This methodology may find application for assisting in the diagnosis of new brain tumor cases and for the quality control of multicenter MRS databases.

Combined 1H and 31P MR spectroscopic imaging: impaired energy metabolism in severe carotid stenosis and changes upon treatmentEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion This spectroscopic study reveals that unilateral high-grade ICA stenosis has an effect on cerebral high-energy metabolism of both hemispheres, which is at least partially reversible after treatment. Therefore the restoration of blood flow in high-grade ICA stenosis recovers the impaired energy balance of the brain.

1H MR spectroscopic imaging with short and long echo time to discriminate glycine in glial tumoursEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion Appropriate data processing of short and long TE 1H MRSI provides a tool to distinguish and to quantify Gly and MI concentrations in gliomas. As Gly seems to be a marker of malignancy, more dedicated spectroscopic methods to differentiate these metabolites are justified.
