  2. T2*-weighted imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T2*-weighted_imaging

    T2*-weighted imaging of the brain 26 weeks after subarachnoid hemorrhage, showing hemosiderin deposits as hypointense areas. [1] T 2 *-weighted imaging is an MRI sequence to quantify observable or effective T 2 (T2* or "T2-star"). In this sequence, hemorrhages and hemosiderin deposits become hypointense. [2]

  3. Susceptibility weighted imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Susceptibility_weighted_imaging

    A conventional gradient echo T2*-weighted image (left, TE=20 ms) shows some low-signal foci associated with CAA. On the other hand, an SWI image (center, with a resolution of 0.5 mm x 0.5 mm x 2.0 mm, projected over 8mm) shows many more associated low-signal foci. Phase images were used to enhance the effect of the local hemosiderin build-up.

  4. Perfusion MRI - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfusion_MRI

    In Dynamic susceptibility contrast MR imaging (DSC-MRI, or simply DSC), Gadolinium contrast agent (Gd) is injected (usually intravenously) and a time series of fast T2*-weighted images is acquired. As Gadolinium passes through the tissues, it induces a reduction of T2* in the nearby water protons; the corresponding decrease in signal intensity ...

  5. Magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging

    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields , magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to generate images of the organs in the body.

  6. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion-weighted...

    Diffusion imaging is an MRI method that produces in vivo magnetic resonance images of biological tissues sensitized with the local characteristics of molecular diffusion, generally water (but other moieties can also be investigated using MR spectroscopic approaches). [15] MRI can be made sensitive to the motion of molecules.

  7. Fast low angle shot magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_low_angle_shot...

    Fast low angle shot magnetic resonance imaging (FLASH MRI) is a particular sequence of magnetic resonance imaging. It is a gradient echo sequence which combines a low-flip angle radio-frequency excitation of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal (recorded as a spatially encoded gradient echo) with a short repetition time .

  8. Magnetic resonance angiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_angiography

    Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is a group of techniques based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to image blood vessels. Magnetic resonance angiography is used to generate images of arteries (and less commonly veins) in order to evaluate them for stenosis (abnormal narrowing), occlusions, aneurysms (vessel wall dilatations, at risk of rupture) or other abnormalities.

  9. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging perfusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_magnetic_resonance...

    Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging perfusion (cardiac MRI perfusion, CMRI perfusion), also known as stress CMR perfusion, [1] is a clinical magnetic resonance imaging test performed on patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease to determine if there are perfusion defects in the myocardium of the left ventricle that are caused by narrowing of one or more of the coronary arteries.
