Mitsue Miyazaki and Vivian S. Lee

We begin by summarizing general principles of vascular MR imaging, reviewing the established nonenhanced methods such as time-of-flight and phase-contrast MR angiography, and then discussing in greater detail newer strategies for MR angiography that do not require exogenous contrast material, concentrating on electrocardiographically gated partial-Fourier fast spin echo and balanced steady-state free precession (SSFP) (also referred to as balanced fast field echo; true fast imaging with steady-state precession, or true FISP; fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition, or FIESTA; true SSFP; among others) with arterial spin labeling.

Our study results demonstrate that the size of tumor volume segmented by using set ranges of signal enhancement ratio (SER) values, combined with the spatial pattern of SER images obtained at high-spatial-resolution dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging, can be used to help identify those breast tumors at high risk for disease recurrence with high specificity even prior to preoperative chemotherapy.

Myocardial tissue sodium concentration (TSC) is measurable with sodium 23 MR imaging and is significantly elevated in myocardial infarction (MI) and adjacent regions in humans; however, the increase in MI TSC does not appear to be related to infarct age or size or to global ventricular function.

Estimation of postnatal outcome in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia does not necessarily require calculation of the relative fetal lung volume (FLV) from biometric measurements, as this calculation does not considerably improve prognostic strength compared with the absolute FLV.
