We introduce the concept of amplifying the transverse magnetic fields produced and/or detected with inductive coils in magnetic resonance settings by using the reversible transverse susceptibility properties of magnetic nanostructures. First, we describe the theoretical formalism of magnetic flux amplification through the coil in the presence of a large perpendicular DC magnetic field (typical of magnetic resonance systems) achieved through the singularity in the reversible transverse susceptibility in anisotropic single domain magnetic nanoparticles. We experimentally demonstrate the concept of transverse magnetic flux amplification in an inductive coil system using oriented nanoparticles with uni-axial magnetic anisotropy. We also propose a composite ferromagnetic/anti-ferromagnetic core/shell nanostructure system with uni-directional magnetic anisotropy that, in principle, provides maximal transverse magnetic flux amplification. 相似文献

The methodology for obtaining two- and three-dimensional magnetic resonance images by using azimuthally symmetric dipolar magnetic fields from ferromagnetic spheres is described. We utilize the symmetric property of a geometric sphere in the presence of a large externally applied magnetic field to demonstrate that a complete two- or three-dimensional structured rendering of a sample can be obtained without the motion of the sample relative to the sphere. Sequential positioning of the integrated sample-sphere system in an external magnetic field at various angular orientations provides all the required imaging slices for successful computerized tomographic image reconstruction. The elimination of the requirement to scan the sample relative to the ferromagnetic tip in this imaging protocol is a potentially valuable simplification compared to previous scanning probe magnetic resonance imaging proposals. 相似文献

We have previously reported a striking correlation between water T2 relaxation time and citrate concentration in the normal prostate (Liney G.P.; Lowry M.; Turnbull L.W.; Manton D.J.; Knowles A.J.; Blackband S.J.; Horsman A. Proton MR T2 maps correlate with the citrate concentration in the prostate. NMR Biomed. 9:59–64; 1996). In this study we present data from similar studies of the pathologic gland. The findings support the hypothesis that measurement of both citrate concentration and water T2 relaxation time in vivo may aid the differentiation of prostatic carcinoma from benign disease and normal tissue. 相似文献

Lipomatous tumors of the uterus are unusual, benign neoplasms seen in postmenopausal women. Although many of the mixed-type cases such as lipoleiomyoma and fibrolipoma have been reported, pure uterine lipomas are extremely rare. In the literature, a few cases with pure uterine lipoma have been reported. We first present the advanced magnetic resonance findings of pure uterine lipoma, followed by those of ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT). We markedly detected lipid peaks on the magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and the apparent diffusion coefficient value to be 0.00 due to chemical-shift effects with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). Although pelvic lipomatous tumors can be diagnosed with US and CT, in some cases, further workup may be required to localize the lesion. MRI may yield more valuable data for differential diagnosis. MRS and DWI findings provide additional clues on the nature of the lesion. 相似文献

Temperature dependence of the magnetic resonance is used to study the magnetic material in oriented Neocapritermes opacus (N.o.) termite, the only prey of the migratory ant Pachycondyla marginata (P.m.). A broad line in the g=2 region, associated to isolated nanoparticles shows that at least 97% of the magnetic material is in the termite’s body (abdomen + thorax). From the temperature dependence of the resonant field and from the spectral linewidths, we estimate the existence of magnetic nanoparticles 18.5 ± 0.3 nm in diameter and an effective magnetic anisotropy constant, Keff between 2.1 and 3.2 × 104 erg/cm3. A sudden change in the double integrated spectra at about 100 K for N.o. with the long body axis oriented perpendicular to the magnetic field can be attributed to the Verwey transition, and suggests an organized film-like particle system. 相似文献

Longitudinal and transverse proton relaxation times were measured on pig tendon. For T1, dispersion curves and more accurate measurements at 20 MHz are presented. Values of T2 were obtained from CPMG pulse sequences, at 20 MHz. The dependence of relaxation times against the fiber-to-field angle was particularly investigated. Longitudinal relaxation rate was found to be almost orientation independent, and presented quadrupolar peaks between 1 and 4 MHz. On the contrary, transverse relaxation, that was well fitted by the sum of four exponentials, was highly orientation dependent. Deconvolution showed that the exponentials decaying most quickly are most orientation dependent. For those two fractions, a cross-relaxation model allowed explaining the fiber-to-field angle dependence, and the specially low rate corresponding to the magic angle of 55°. Finally, each decaying mode was assigned to a fraction of protons localized in the macromolecular structure and characterized by particular dynamics. 相似文献

Multicomponent vanadates Co3+xFe4−xV6O24 have been synthesized using the solid state reaction method from Co3V2O8 and FeVO4.oxides. The electron paramagnetic resonance/ferromagnetic resonance (EPR/FMR) spectra of 20 samples containing solid state phases formed in the FeVO4-Co3V2O8 system have been recorded at room temperature. The howardevansite structure (H-type phase) is produced, which corresponds to the Co2.616Fe4.256V6O24 formula while a homogeneity range of lyonsite (L-type phase) type structure could be described by the Co3+1.5xFe4−xV6O24 formula (0.476<x<1.667). Considering the values of g-factor and linewidth of each registered spectrum the existence of three types of magnetic centers was inferred and correlated with phases detected by XRD method. 相似文献

Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation from FeSO4·7H2O and FeCl3·6H2O aqueous solutions using NaOH as precipitating reagent. The nanoparticles have an average size of 12 nm and exhibit superparamagnetism at room temperature. The nanoparticles were used to prepare a water-based magnetic fluid using oleic acid and Tween 80 as surfactants. The stability and magnetic properties of the magnetic fluid were characterized by Gouy magnetic balance. The experimental results imply that the hydrophilic block of Tween 80 can make the Fe3O4 nanoparticles suspending in water stable even after dilution and autoclaving. The magnetic fluid demonstrates excellent stability and fast magneto-temperature response, which can be used both in magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic fluid hyperthermia. 相似文献

In this article, a review is made of the current knowledge concerning the physiology and metabolism of neuronal activity, as provided by the application of NMR approaches in vivo. The evidence furnished by other functional spectroscopic and imaging techniques, such as PET and optical methods, are also discussed. In spite of considerable amounts of studies presented in the literature, several controversies concerning the mechanisms underlying brain function still remain, mainly due to the difficult assessment of the single vascular and metabolic dynamics which generally influence the functional signals. In this framework, methodological and technical improvements are required to provide new and reliable experimental elements, which can support or eventually modify the current models of activation. 相似文献

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), which characterized by distinct biological and clinical pathological features, has a worse prognosis because the lack of effective therapeutic targets. Breast MR is the most accurate imaging modality for diagnosis of breast cancer currently. MR imaging recognition could assist in diagnosis, pretreatment planning and prognosis evaluation of TNBC. MR findings of a larger solitary lesion, mass with smooth mass margin, high signal intensity on T2-weighted images and rim enhancement are typical MRI features associated with TNBC. Further work is necessary about the clinical application of dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging (DCE-MRI), DWI and MRS. 相似文献

Initial clinical experience with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen using short TI inversion-recovery (STIR) pulse sequences is described and compared with X-ray CT in a variety of abdominal disease. The extent of abnormality shown with MRI was greater than that with CT in 21 of 30 cases and equal in 9 cases. Lesion contrast was greater with MRI in 15 cases, equal in 14 and less in 1. The level of artefact was equal in 27 cases and greater with MRI in 3 cases. The STIR pulse sequence has significant advantages in producing high soft-tissue contrast, controlling respiratory artefact, avoiding confusion with intra-abdominal fat and identifying bowel loops. 相似文献

The explanation of the nucleon’s resonance spectrum is a long standing challenge. Magnetic moments of resonances are a valuable testing ground for baryon structure calculations. We have shown in a former experiment that the extraction of the Δ+(1232) magnetic dipole moment is feasible via the measurement and analysis of the reaction γp→π0γ′p, in which the photon γ′ carries the desired information. Such an experiment has been repeated with high precision using the Crystal Ball and TAPS detectors at the MAMI accelerator facility. Preliminary results will be presented. Furthermore, the perspectives for accessing the magnetic moment of the S11(1535) resonance in radiative η photoproduction γp→ηγ′p will be discussed. 相似文献

The objectives of this study were to assess the relationship between right and left hemidiaphragmatic motions during breathing in normal subjects and to investigate alterations in lung motion with changes in posture, using dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Imaging was conducted with a 1.5-T MR scanner using fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition with a torso coil. Eight healthy subjects were instructed to breathe from end-inspiration to end-expiration as slowly and as deeply as possible. Imaging and breathing were started together to afford sequential images on the coronal plane. Imaging sequences were performed in supine, prone, left lateral decubitus and right lateral decubitus postures. The component of movement of the most cephalic point in the cephalocaudal axis was measured, and the diaphragmatic excursion (maximum hemidiaphragmatic displacement), synchrony and velocity of the right and left hemidiaphragmatic motions were calculated during the expiratory phase and the inspiratory phase, respectively. Excursion was greater in the right hemidiaphragm in most postures, except the left lateral decubitus. In supine and prone postures, both hemidiaphragms moved synchronously in both inspiratory and expiratory phases. In both lateral decubitus postures, the hemidiaphragms moved asynchronously with different velocities in the expiratory phase but with the same velocities in the inspiratory phase. The method described here allowed the assessment of diaphragmatic motions. Motions in the right and left hemidiaphragms changed with posture. In addition, diaphragmatic motion differed between expiratory and inspiratory phases. This study suggests the further potential of dynamic MR imaging for the evaluation of pulmonary functions or deficiencies. 相似文献

In a previous nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study we observed that the NMR spectra of water in both surfacted and ionic ferrofluids are asymmetric and several orders of magnitude wider than the one of pure water. It has been proposed that this effect is produced by extremely strong magnetic field gradients in the intergrain volume and/or by surface interactions between the carrier liquid molecules and the grains surface. In the case of aqueous ionic ferrofluids the latter possibility should be interpreted as electric interactions between water (polar) molecules and the charges in the grain surface.
In this work we study a series of ionic and surfacted ferrofluids prepared at different magnetic grain concentrations and sizes, and with different surface charge densities. Our experiments clearly show that the sign and the density of the electric charge on the magnetic grains have no influence on NMR spectra. On the other hand, spectral widths increase with the magnetic grain concentration. 相似文献

In order to better understand the transition from quantum to classical behavior in spin system, electron magnetic resonance (EMR) is studied in suspensions of superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles with an average diameter of ∼9 nm and analyzed in comparison with the results obtained in the maghemite particles of smaller size (∼5 nm). It is shown that both types of particles demonstrate common EMR behavior, including special features such as the temperature-dependent narrow spectral component and multiple-quantum transitions. These features are common for small quantum systems and not expected in classical case. The relative intensity of these signals rapidly decreases with cooling or increase of particle size, marking gradual transition to the classical ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) behavior. 相似文献

Fifty-four independent scans were performed in two volunteers covering one anatomic region in each (the brain and knee) with the purpose of ascertaining the agreement between predicted and measured signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). Systematically varied parameters were number of excitations (NEX), field of view (FOV), section thickness (dz), and the number of phase-encoding steps (Ny). Correlation coefficients of measured versus predicted SNR were 0.82 and 0.86, respectively, in the anatomies studied. Significantly improved correlations were found for data subpopulations in which NEX was held constant. To assess the criteria guiding reader preference, a blinded study was performed in which radiologists were asked to rate images from least to most desirable. In order to quantitatively determine the criteria for reader preference, plots of mean rating versus SNR, voxel volume, and an image quality index [IQI = SNR/(voxel volume)] were performed. The latter was found to be a better predictor of reader preference than either SNR or spatial resolution alone. The data suggests T1-weighted scan protocols yielding SNR of approximately 20 are preferable with any excess SNR being traded for smaller voxel size or shorter scan times. 相似文献
