Dual Contrast – Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (DC-MRF): A Platform for Simultaneous Quantification of Multiple MRI Contrast Agents. Scientific Reports, 2017; 7 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-08762-9
New imaging method out of Case Western Reserve University elevates MRI capabilities. Current MRI techniques rely on a single contrast agent injected into a patient’s veins to vivify images. The new method uses two at once, which could allow doctors to map multiple characteristics of a patient’s internal organs in a single MRI. The strategy could serve as a research tool and even aid disease diagnosis.
Two contrast agents could include one specifically targeting diseased tissue, and one designed to show healthy tissue, for example...
