  • Quantitation of atherosclerosis by magnetic resonance imaging and 3-D morphology operators
  • 1999
  • Ingår i: Magnetic Resonance Imaging. - 0730-725X .- 1873-5894. ; 17:4, s. 585-591

    • The objective was to ascertain whether MRI and image processing can be used to quantify atherosclerosis by measuring wall thickness in rabbit aorta. The abdominal aortas of 2 healthy and 5 atherosclerotic rabbits were examined with a gradient-echo inflow angiography sequence (2DI) and a proton density weighted turbo-spin-echo sequence (PDW). Using thresholding by four observers and 3D morphology operators, segmentation of the artery and vein lumina was performed from the 2DI sequence, and of surrounding fat and muscle from the PDW sequence. Remaining voxels adjacent to the aortic lumen were classified as vessel wall. By measuring the vessel wall volume and the lumen volume, the wall percentage was calculated. The values were significantly higher for the diseased animals than for unaffected individuals (p < 0.01). It is concluded that aortic wall thickening in atherosclerotic rabbits can be measured quantitatively by using MRI combined with 3D morphology image processing operators.

  • NMR magnetization transfer as a tool for characterization of nanoporous materials
  • 2003
  • Ingår i: Magnetic Resonance Imaging. - 0730-725X .- 1873-5894. ; 21:04-mar, s. 299-303
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The application of nuclear magnetic resonance magnetization transfer experiments to probe the surface-to-volume ratio and pore morphology of porous materials with characteristic pore sizes of 1-100 nm is described. The method is based on the phenomenon of incomplete freezing of liquids in small pores where a few monolayers adjacent to the pore walls remain liquid. Sufficient difference between the transverse relaxation times in the solid frozen core and liquid surface layer allows the initial preparation and subsequent re-equilibration of a solid-liquid magnetization grating. The method is demonstrated using model nanoporous materials with known characteristics. The ensuing problems of the mechanism of the magnetization transfer through the interface and within the frozen core are discussed and elucidated by pulsed-field-gradient NMR experiments.

  • Characterization of human head vasculature by percolation parameters
  • 1999
  • Ingår i: Magnetic Resonance Imaging. - 0730-725X .- 1873-5894. ; 17:3, s. 411-415
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A data reduction procedure, originally proposed for characterization of fractals and random percolation clusters, has been used to evaluate the vascular system of the human head. The motivation behind this study arose from the wish to study empirically transport properties of vascular systems and to find a suitable formalism for their description. MR angiographic data acquired by a standard 3D inflow method were used. The evaluated parameters refer to the backbone fractal dimensionality and the correlation length. The fractal dimensionality of the backbone was found to be 1.71 for the human head vasculature. This value fits the theoretical range of random percolation networks. It is concluded that concepts of percolation theory might have some value for characterizing the structure and transport properties of the vascular system.

  • Susceptibility, field inhomogeneity, and chemical shift-corrected NMR microscopy : application to the human finger in vivo
  • 1996
  • Ingår i: Magnetic Resonance Imaging. - 0730-725X .- 1873-5894. ; 14:10, s. 1165-1175
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Spectroscopic proton image data recorded with the aid of a gradient-echo spectroscopic imaging pulse sequence are reported. A postdetection processing method is suggested which permits correction of artifacts due to inhomogeneity, susceptibility, and chemical-shift resonance offsets. That is, apart from the spectral information available in this way, better spatial resolutions can be achieved. The method is demonstrated by resonance-offset corrected images of the human finger in vivo. Moreover, resonance-line selective and spectroscopically resolved diffusion-weighted images and diffusivity maps rendered with the aid of the same postdetection procedure are shown.

  • A Review on Brain Tumor Diagnosis from MRI Images : Practical Implications, Key Achievements, and Lessons Learned
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Magnetic Resonance Imaging. - : Elsevier. - 0730-725X .- 1873-5894. ; 61, s. 300-318

    • The successful early diagnosis of brain tumors plays a major role in improving the treatment outcomes and thus improving patient survival. Manually evaluating the numerous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images produced routinely in the clinic is a difficult process. Thus, there is a crucial need for computer-aided methods with better accuracy for early tumor diagnosis. Computer-aided brain tumor diagnosis from MRI images consists of tumor detection, segmentation, and classification processes. Over the past few years, many studies have focused on traditional or classical machine learning techniques for brain tumor diagnosis. Recently, interest has developed in using deep learning techniques for diagnosing brain tumors with better accuracy and robustness. This study presents a comprehensive review of traditional machine learning techniques and evolving deep learning techniques for brain tumor diagnosis. This review paper identifies the key achievements reflected in the performance measurement metrics of the applied algorithms in the three diagnosis processes. In addition, this study discusses the key findings and draws attention to the lessons learned as a roadmap for future research.

  • MRI estimates of brown adipose tissue in children - Associations to adiposity, osteocalcin, and thigh muscle volume
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Magnetic Resonance Imaging. - : Elsevier BV. - 0730-725X .- 1873-5894. ; 58, s. 135-142
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Context Brown adipose tissue is of metabolic interest. The tissue is however poorly explored in children. Methods: Sixty-three 7-year old subjects from the Swedish birth-cohort Halland Health and Growth Study were recruited. Care was taken to include both normal weight and overweight children, but the subjects were otherwise healthy. Only children born full term were included. Water-fat separated whole-body MRI scans, anthropometric measurements, and measurements of fasting glucose and levels of energy homeostasis related hormones, including the insulin-sensitizer osteocalcin, were performed. The fat fraction (FF) and effective transverse relaxation time (T-2(star)) of suspected brown adipose tissue in the cervical-supraclavicular-axillary fat depot (sBAT) and the FFs of abdominal visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) were measured. Volumes of sBAT, abdominal VAT and SAT, and thigh muscle volumes were measured. Results: The FF in the sBAT depot was lower than in VAT and SAT for all children. In linear correlations including sex and age as explanatory variables, sBAT FF correlated positively with all measures of adiposity (p < 0.01), except for VAT FF and weight, positively with sBAT T-2* (p = 0.036), and negatively with osteocalcin (p = 0.017). When adding measures of adiposity as explanatory variables, sBAT FF also correlated negatively with thigh muscle volume (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Whole-body water-fat MRI of children allows for measurements of sBAT. The FF of sBAT was lower than that of VAT and SAT, indicating presence of BAT. Future studies could confirm whether the observed correlations corresponds to a hormonally active BAT.

  • Water-fat separation incorporating spatial smoothing is robust to noise
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: Magnetic Resonance Imaging. - : Elsevier BV. - 0730-725X .- 1873-5894. ; 50, s. 78-83
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate a noise-robust method for reconstruction of water and fat images for spoiled gradient multi-echo sequences.METHODS: The proposed method performs water-fat separation by using a graph cut to minimize an energy function consisting of unary and binary terms. Spatial smoothing is incorporated to increase robustness to noise. The graph cut can fail to find a solution covering the entire image, in which case the relative weighting of the unary term is iteratively increased until a complete solution is found. The proposed method was compared to two previously published methods. Reconstructions were performed on 16 cases taken from the 2012 ISMRM water-fat reconstruction challenge dataset, for which reference reconstructions were provided. Robustness towards noise was evaluated by reconstructing images with different levels of noise added. The percentage of water-fat swaps were calculated to measure performance.RESULTS: At low noise levels the proposed method produced similar results to one of the previously published methods, while outperforming the other. The proposed method significantly outperformed both of the previously published methods at moderate and high noise levels.CONCLUSION: By incorporating spatial smoothing, an increased robustness towards noise is achieved when performing water-fat reconstruction of spoiled gradient multi-echo sequences.

  • Pre-transplantation ³¹P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy for quality assessment of human pancreatic grafts : A feasibility study
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: Magnetic Resonance Imaging. - : Elsevier BV. - 0730-725X .- 1873-5894. ; 39, s. 98-102
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Objective: To investigate the feasibility of using (31)P-MRS for objective non-invasive quality assessment of human pancreas grafts prior to transplantation or islet isolation.Materials and methods: Pancreata from 5 human donors, 3 males and 2 females, aged 49-78years, with body mass index (BMI) 22-31kg/m(2), were included. Pancreata were perfused with histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution during procurement and stored in hypothermic condition (4°C) for 21-44h. During the period of hypothermic storage repeated spectra were obtained for each graft by (31)P-MRS (1.5Tesla) to measure the cold ischemia time (CIT) dependent changes of the phosphorous metabolites adenosine triphosphate (ATP), phosphomonoesters (PME), phosphodiesters (PDE) and inorganic phosphate (Pi), in the grafts. Graft temperature was measured immediately before and after MR-examination. Reference spectrum for non-viable tissue was obtained after graft exposure to room temperature.Results: PME/Pi, PDE/Pi and ATP/Pi spectral intensities ratios decreased with increasing CIT, reflecting the decreased viability of the grafts. PME/Pi ratio was the most discriminatory variable at prolonged CIT. (31)P-MRS could be performed without significantly increasing graft temperature.Conclusions: (31)P-MRS may provide quantitative parameters for evaluating graft viability ex vivo, and is a promising tool for objective non-invasive assessment of the quality of human pancreas grafts prior to transplantation or islet isolation.

  • Diffusion of polyethyleneglycols in casein solutions and gels as studied by pulsed field gradient NMR
  • 2005
  • Ingår i: Magnetic Resonance Imaging. - : Elsevier BV. - 1873-5894 .- 0730-725X. ; 23:2, s. 347-348
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Molecular transport characterized by diffusion coefficients is a key feature of food processes and especially in dairy processes. Caseins represent 80% of the protein content in milk and are directly involved in the formation of dairy gels. Consequently, providing a quantitative description of the solute diffusion in casein gels should contribute significantly to rationalization of the dairy processes. The objectives of this study were to study the self-diffusion coefficient of molecular probes [polyethyleneglycol (PEGs)] in casein solutions and gels, in particular with regard to the effects of the probe molecular size and casein concentration. We have shown that the PEG diffusion was an efficient tool to reveal the structural information relative to the gel matrix structure. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
