Whole-body MRI: comprehensive evaluation on a 48-channel 3T MRI system in less than 40 minutes. Preliminary results

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate a comprehensive MRI protocol that investigates for cancer, vascular disease, and degenerative/ inflammatory disease from the head to the pelvis in less than 40 minutes on a new generation 48-channel 3T system. Materials and Methods: All MR studies were performed on a 48-channel 3T MR scanner. A 20-channel head/neck coil, two 18-channel body arrays, and a 32-channel spine array were employed. A total of 4 healthy individuals were studied. The designed protocol included a combination of si… Show more

“…Greater intrinsic soft tissue contrast resolution in association with non-exposure to ionizing radiation have made MRI an excellent choice for screening purposes ( 8 ) , as well as in the evaluation of joints. MRA has been utilized for a detailed evaluation of internal joint derangements because of its capacity to describe small anatomical details, increasing the diagnostic accuracy.…”

“…Na literatura consultada Simona et al (2007) e Hernandes et al (2012) inclui o significado de extravasamento como sendo a administração impensada de droga vesicante nos tecidos circundantes, ao oposto da via vascular desejada. Drogas vesicantes são aquelas capazes de causar dano tecidual quando injetadas nas estruturas adjacentes ao vaso sanguíneo.…”

“…Its clinical usage in full-body examination for disease in patients was limited previously because of the long scanning duration and poor image quality. With the advent in high field MRI and parallel imaging techniques, the image quality and scanning duration have been improved substantially (1)(2)(3)(4), allowing for better spatial resolution and diagnostic accuracy compared to traditional PET/CT (5).…”
