Filter by:Tumor hypoxia is one of the physiological factors for treatment resistance and likely contributes to poor overall survival among patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Identifying hypoxic features of HNC may allow the personalizing treatment plan. The investigators propose multiparametric Hypoxia MR (HMR) imaging using diffusion, perfusion, and oxygenation as non-invasive, in-vivo imaging components of a hypoxia phenotype. Assessing the hypoxia phenotypes' expression will be critically important for characterizing and predicting CRT response among patients with advanced HNC. A prospective cohort study will be conducted used multiparametric MR (MPMR) imaging correlated with treatment response assessed by 3 months fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET). The image analysis approach will be developed to incorporate FDG-PET and quantitative MRI characteristics of tumor (ADC, oxygen-enhanced T1 and T2* maps, and volume transfer constant (Ktrans) to facilitate 3D visualization of multiparametric information. This proposed study's overarching goal is to develop and validate multiparametric HMR imaging using 18F - (fluoromisonidazole) FMISO-PET and immunohistochemistry (IHC) as the standard of references.
The aim of this study is to display the predictive factors of hearing rehabilitation after cochlear implant surgery in severely to profoundly deaf adults.
The research study is being conducted in health controls to better understand the effects of ketosis on brain functioning after 3 different, randomly assigned, 3-day dietary interventions and the acute effects of alcohol after consuming about 4-5 alcohol beverages. The labs visits will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to study the brain, measuring levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), lactate, neurotransmitters glutamate, and Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
On the basis of previous research, this subject intends to evaluate the liver improvement of patients with liver disease after weight loss by MRI, and quantify it by extracting features, so as to provide a new method to judge the liver status of patients with liver disease, and to evaluate the correlation between the inflammatory status of patients and the quantitative features of MRI, and try to explain the reasons for the improvement of fatty liver status of patients with liver disease after weight loss. To provide a new theoretical basis for fatty liver and systemic inflammatory liver damage in patients with liver disease after weight loss surgery, and to link them, and try to explain the improvement of fatty liver in patients with liver disease through the reduction of systemic inflammatory level.
This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, active drug controlled clinical trial that aims to compare the effects of henagliflozin or metformin on myocardial tissue level characteristics in type 2 diabetes patients with obesity. Eligible subjects with type 2 diabetes before randomisation and fulfilling all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to henagliflozin 10 mg once a day or metformin 1000 mg twice a day and treated for 24 weeks. The study includes five visits.
This is an open-label, single-center, single-dose study aims to evaluate the effect and safety of polymeric superparamagnetic iron oxide in cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging for diabetic patients with concomitant chronic kidney disease.
This study prospectively included 178 patients with bladder neoplastic lesions who planned to undergo surgery (with or without preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy). Inclusion criteria: Patients with pathologically confirmed bladder cancer after radical or partial cystectomy or TURBT (< 2 weeks between surgical resection and imaging). Exclusion criteria: 1) Prior history of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy; 2) No surgical resection; 3) The interval between surgical resection and imaging examination is > 2 weeks; 4) Obvious artifacts; 5)MRI scan contraindications. All subjects underwent pelvic MRI. Data was collected using a Siemens VIDA 3TMR scanner (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany). All subjects underwent standardized scanning protocols. The obtained images are post-processed and the experimental results are analyzed statistically.
To investigate the intervention effect of transcranial alternating current stimulation(tACS) on anxiety symptoms and somatic symptoms in patients with anxiety disorder and its underlying neural mechanism by MRI.
This is a contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study conducted on a single-administration of polyglucose superparamagnetic iron oxide injection. Two dose groups are set up in this study, 2.5 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg, and two subjects in each group received the test drug for safety evaluation.
The goal of the current project is to explore and develop the technical feasibility of non-invasive imaging of the human musculoskeletal system and head with the first 7T MR scanner with a CE mark to identify areas where the higher field promises significant benefits in qualitative image quality. For a subset of the planned exams, state-of-the art 7T or 3T images will be used as standard of reference to comparatively gauge the qualitative image quality of the investigational 7T images.
