Apparent Diffusion Coefficient News Today

Purpose: To assess the technical performance of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) on a dedicated 3T radiotherapy scanner, using a standardized phantom and sequences. Investigations into factors that could impact the technical performance of ADC in the clinic were also completed, including changing the slice-encoded imaging direction and the reference sample ADC value. Methods: ADC acquisitions were performed monthly on an isotropic diffusion phantom over 1 year. Measurements of ADC %bias,...

Study of the Diffusion Tensor Imaging for Preclinical Therapeutic Efficacy of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transplantation in the Treatment of SCI

Child Brain Tumors can be Classified by Advanced Imaging and AI Being able to classify a brain tumors type, without the use of biopsy, is hard to do; however diffusion weighted imaging, an advanced imaging technique, when combined with machine learning, can help, a study has found Example MR images from paediatric brain tumour patients. This first column shows T1-weighted images following the injection of gadolinium contrast agent. The second column shows T2-weighted images and the final column...
