Description | Journal: Magnetic Resonance in Medicine A new method was developed to measure ultrashort T relaxation in tissues containing a focal area of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticle‐labeled cells in which the T decay is too short to be accurately measured using regular gradient echo T mapping. The proposed method utilizes the relatively long T $_{2}$ relaxation of SPIO‐labeled cells and acquires a series of spin echo images with the readout echo shifted to sample the T decay curve. MRI experiments in phantoms and rats with SPIO‐labeled tumors demonstrated that it can detect ultrashort T down to 1 ms or less. The measured T values were about 10% higher than those from the ultrashort TE (UTE) technique. The shorter the TE, the less the measurements deviated from the UTE T mapping. Combined with the regular T mapping, this technique is expected to provide quantitation of highly concentrated iron‐labeled cells from direct cell transplantation. Magn Reson Med, 2009. |
