A Fast Variant of H Spectroscopic U-FLARE Imaging Using Adjusted Chemical Shift Phase Encoding

So far, fast spectroscopic imaging (SI) using the U-FLARE sequence has provided metabolic maps indirectly via Fourier transformation (FT) along the chemical shift (CS) dimension and subsequent peak integration. However, a large number of CS encoding steps N_ω is needed to cover the spectral bandwidth and to achieve sufficient spectral resolution for peak integration even if the number of resonance lines is small compared to N_ω and even if only metabolic images are of interest and not the spectra in each voxel. Other reconstruction algorithms require extensive prior knowledge, starting values, and/or model functions. An adjusted CS phase encoding scheme (APE) can be used to overcome these drawbacks. It incorporates prior knowledge only about the resonance frequencies present in the sample. Thus, N_ω can be reduced by a factor of 4 for many ¹H in vivo studies while no spectra have to be reconstructed, and no additional user interaction, prior knowledge, starting values, or model function are required. Phantom measurements and in vivo experiments on rat brain have been performed at 4.7 T to test the feasibility of the method for proton SI.

Fast nosologic imaging of the brain

Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) provides information about the spatial metabolic heterogeneity of an organ in the human body. In this way, MRSI can be used to detect tissue regions with abnormal metabolism, e.g. tumor tissue. The main drawback of MRSI in clinical practice is that the analysis of the data requires a lot of expertise from the radiologists. In this article, we present an automatic method that assigns each voxel of a spectroscopic image of the brain to a histopathological class. The method is based on Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA), which has recently been shown to be a robust technique for tissue typing. In CCA, the spectral as well as the spatial information about the voxel is used to assign it to a class. This has advantages over other methods that only use spectral information since histopathological classes are normally covering neighbouring voxels. In this paper, a new CCA-based method is introduced in which MRSI and MR imaging information is integrated. The performance of tissue typing is compared for CCA applied to the whole MR spectra and to sets of features obtained from the spectra. Tests on simulated and in vivo MRSI data show that the new method is very accurate in terms of classification and segmentation. The results also show the advantage of combining spectroscopic and imaging data.

基于CEST机制的pH成像方法、原理和应用

化学交换饱和转移（Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer,CEST）技术作为一种新型的磁共振成像（Magnetic Resonance Imaging,MRI）技术.它的原理为溶质池中被激发饱和的质子与游离水中未被饱和的质子间的化学交换,能够引起水质子磁共振信号的下降,从而获得组织内生物分子的相关信息.由于质子间的交换速率k_ex与组织微环境的pH值之间存在直接联系,因而可以通过溶质质子的CEST信号对活体组织进行pH成像.目前用于pH成像的溶质分子既包括内源性游离的蛋白质、多肽分子,还包括一系列的外源性小分子和金属螯合物.通过不同类型的比率法、内源性胺和酰胺浓度-独立检测（Amine and Amide Concentration-independent Detection,AACID）等成像方法,能够获得肾脏、中风脑组织以及肿瘤组织的pH图谱.本文详细总结了2000年以来利用CEST技术进行pH成像方面的研究进展,包括对比剂、成像方法和相关应用,展望了活体组织pH成像的发展趋势和应用前景.

Chemical Imaging of Phase-Separated Polymer Blends by Fluorescence Microscopy

Blends of poly(vinylacetate) (PVAc) and poly(cyclohexylmethacrylate) (PCHMA) labeled by copolymerization with 4-methacryloylamine-4-nitrostilbene (Sb), with (1-pyrenylmethyl)methacrylate (Py), or with 3-(methacryloylamine)propyl-N-carbazole (Cbz) were prepared by casting dilute solutions in tetrahydrofurane (THF) or chloroform. Films about 10 m thick were formed. Phase separation in two types of domains is observed by transmission optical microscopy (TOM) and epifluorescence microscopy (EFM): small craters of 1 to 10 m placed at the polymer-air interface and larger domains, on the scale of 100 m. The morphology of samples depends on the composition of the polymer blend and on solvent. The green fluorescence of Sb, the violet of Py, or the blue of Cbz provides imaging of the distribution of PCHMA in the different domains and in the matrix. It is thus observed that (i) superficial craters and large domains are formed mainly by PCHMA and (ii) the matrix is composed of PVAc in films cast from THF and it is a blend of the two polymers, homogeneous at the submicrometric scale, for chloroform. The emission intensity of Py, recorded by microfluorescence spectroscopy (MFS), yields a mapping similar to imaging detection. It is remarkable that in films cast from chloroform, the smaller domains are distributed with a 2D hexatic order disrupted by dislocations and disclinations, whereas in films cast from THF, a larger heterogeneity is found, denoting different mechanisms of solvent evaporation.
