Abstract:Purpose:
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a fatal subtype of Hemorrhagic stroke. Tissue iron at the periphery of ICH has been demonstrated to be neurotoxic in animal models. No robust method to quantify tissue iron following ICH currently exists. Our aim is to determine a robust algorithm based on MRI to quantify tissue iron in the wake of ICH.
Methods:
Following Institutional review board approval we constructed an MRI phantom. Eight 4 cc vials with 5… Show more
