Reference 3 T MRI parameters of the normal human eye.

The purpose of this study is to establish magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) standard normative reference quantitative markers for future possible diagnosis in Ophthalmology based on relaxation times (T1 and T2) and retina/choroid complex (RCC) layer thickness values measured in vivo in normal human eyes. This research followed the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the local Ethical Committee. 15 healthy subjects volunteered to undergo MRI of both eyes.

Review: magnetic resonance imaging techniques in ophthalmology.

Imaging the eye with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has proved difficult due to the eye's propensity to move involuntarily over typical imaging timescales, obscuring the fine structure in the eye due to the resulting motion artifacts. However, advances in MRI technology help to mitigate such drawbacks, enabling the acquisition of high spatiotemporal resolution images with a variety of contrast mechanisms. This review aims to classify the MRI techniques used to date in clinical and preclinical ophthalmologic studies, describing the qualitative and quantitative information that may be extracted and how this may inform on ocular pathophysiology.

Theoretical compartment modeling of DCE-MRI data based on the transport across physiological barriers in the brain.

Neurological disorders represent major causes of lost years of healthy life and mortality worldwide. Development of their quantitative interdisciplinary in vivo evaluation is required. Compartment modeling (CM) of brain data acquired in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging techniques with clinically available contrast agents can be performed to quantitatively assess brain perfusion.
