- Discrimination of Hemorrhage and Contrast Media in a Head Phantom on Photon-Counting Detector CT Data
Photon-counting detector CT acquires spectral information that allows for material differentiation. CT scan can be separated into the attenuation resulting from remaining iodine and soft tissue, generating contrast media maps and virtual noncontrast series. In this study, the authors demonstrated that PCD-CT can reliably differentiate between blood and iodine and accurately determine several iodine concentrations in an anthropomorphic head phantom.
- MR Thermometry during Transcranial MR Imaging–Guided Focused Ultrasound Procedures: A Review
Transcranial MR imaging-guided focused ultrasound enables precise delivery of energy through an intact skull for the treatment of various neurologic disorders. Real-time and noninvasive MR thermometry is critical to achieve precise and controlled transcranial focused ultrasound treatments. This article provides an updated review on clinically applicable considerations of proton resonance frequency MR thermometry, including pitfalls and limitations, to avoid complications during MRgFUS procedures.
