The objective of this book is to serve as a practical educational resource for clinical magnetic resonance imaging. The bulk of the text is organized along anatomic lines and discusses disease entities commonly encountered in clinical practice. The focus is illustrating and describing the MR appearances of the most commonly imaged disease entities, covering briefly in each area important points relative to imaging techniques then discussing in depth, the clinical MR interpretation. The breadth of clinical MRI is explored. For each subtopic within an anatomic region, clinical cases serve as the backbone for discussion, the most common pathologies affecting each anatomic region being illustrated. The final chapters discuss specifically contrast media and contrast enhanced MRA, two topics worthy of further description due to their present clinical importance. When relevant to diagnosis or essential for understanding, MR physics is discussed, however the reader is referred separately to Runge et al, The Physics of Clinical MR Taught Through Images 2nd Edition (New York: Thieme; 2009) for further elaboration. It is the goal that upon completing this text, the reader will have an appreciation for the complexity, utility, and versatility of MR in clinical imaging and will possess the knowledge essential for interpretation of basic clinical MR

Background. Anaesthetic agents used in pediatric patients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should have minimal adverse effects with rapid onset of induction and recovery time. The administration route in pediatric should be minimally invasive. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of intranasal dexmedetomidine sedation at dose of 2 mcg/kg and 4 mcg/kg in pediatric undergoing MRI. Methods. This study was a single blind randomized clinical trial in pediatric patients undergoing MRI at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital in February-April 2019. Ninety-four patients were recruited and randomized into two groups. Group DIN2 (n = 47) received intranasal dexmedetomidine at dose of 2 mcg/kg, while Group DIN4 (n = 47) received intranasal dexmedetomidine at dose of 4 mcg/kg. Depth of sedation was measured using Ramsay Sedation Scale. Heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation and Ramsay Sedation Scale scores were assessed before the induction and every 10 minutes after administration of sedation agents. Data analysis using unpaired t-test or Mann-Whitney. Results. Onset time of intranasal dexmedetomidine sedation at dose of 4 mcg/kg (23.00 (18.00-27.00) minutes) is faster than dexmedetomidine at dose of 2 mcg/kg (26.00 (21.00-29.00) minutes) (p <0.001). Duration time of intranasal dexmedetomidine sedation at dose of 4 mcg/kg (47.00 (41.00-53.00) minutes) is longer than dexmedetomidine at dose of 2 mcg/kg (34.00 (30.00-37.00) minutes) (p <0.001). Recovery time of sedation between intranasal dexmedetomidine at dose of 2 mcg/kg (10.00 (5.00-15.00) minutes) and 4 mcg/kg (10.00 (5.00-15.00) minutes) were not statistically different (p 0.774). There were no differences in adverse effects of sedation between the two study groups. There were no differences in the need of rescue dose requirements between the two study groups. Conclusion. Intranasal dexmedetomidine sedation at dose of 4 mcg/kg is not more effective than intranasal dexmedetomidine at dose of 2 mcg/kg in children undergoing MRI.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) saat ini sedang banyak digunakan sebagai image guiding dalam perencanaan radiosurgery dan radioterapi. Modalitas pencitraan ini dapat menampilkan karakteristik fisis jaringan dengan detail luar biasa, terutama pada otak. Namun seperti yang telah diketahui, distorsi geometri terjadi pada citra MRI. Distorsi ini menimbulkan masalah di beberapa aplikasi MRI, salah satunya lokalisasi pada Gamma Knife Stereotactic Radiosurgery (GKSRS). Oleh karena itu, pengukuran serta koreksi distorsi geometri pada citra MRI perlu dilaksanakan. Dalam penelitian ini, sebuah fantom desain khusus dikembangkan untuk mengukur tidak hanya distorsi geometri citra MRI, namun juga uniformitas dan resolusi spasial kontras tinggi. Penelitian menggunakan tiga variasi, meliputi variasi protokol pemindaian, frame, dan larutan pengisi. Protokol pemindaian yang digunakan adalah T1-Bravo dan T2-Fiesta. Fantom dengan dan tanpa Leksell stereotactic frame dipindai menggunakan 1,5 T MRI GE Optima MR450w. Fantom diisi dengan tiga variasi larutan yaitu aquades (H2O) serta CuSO4.5H2O dengan konsentrasi 2 mM dan 5 mM. Dari hasil analisis data penelitian dapat ditarik beberapa kesimpulan bahwa fantom desain khusus yang dikembangkan dapat digunakan untuk mengukur distorsi geometri, uniformitas, serta resolusi spasial kontras tinggi citra MRI. Citra MRI yang dihasilkan oleh protokol pemindaian T1-Bravo memiliki distorsi geometri dan resolusi spasial lebih rendah namun uniformitas lebih tinggi dibandingkan citra yang dihasilkan oleh protokol T2-Fiesta. Keberadaan Leksell stereotactic frame ketika proses pemindaian meningkatkan distorsi geometri dan mengurangi uniformitas citra. Selain itu, larutan yang paling sesuai digunakan sebagai pengisi fantom desain khusus adalah larutan CuSO4.5H2O dengan konsentrasi 5 mM. ......Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is increasingly being used for purposes of radiosurgery and radiotherapy planning. This imaging modality can explore the physical properties of tissue with great details, especially for imaging of the brain. However, the geometric distortion is reasonably occurred and can make significant differences in certain MR application such as, for example, stereotactic localization in Gamma Knife. Therefore, the geometric distortion measurement and correction should be applied. In this study, an MRI in-house phantom was developed to measure not only geometric distortion, but also uniformity and high contrast spatial resolution of MR image. This study used three variations, including scanning protocol, frame, and phantom filler. There were two scanning protocols applied in this study, they were T1-Bravo and T2-Fiesta. The phantom attached with Leksell stereotactic frame was scanned using 1.5 T MRI GE Healthcare. Phantom was filled with three kinds of solution, they were pure water (H2O), CuSO4.5H2O 2 mM and 5 mM solution. The study results showed that the in-house or special design phantom can be used to measure geometric distortion, uniformity, and high contrast spatial resolution of MR image. T1-Bravo image had lower geometric distortion and spatial resolution but higher uniformity than T2-Fiesta. Leksell stereotactic frame can increase the magnitude of geometric distortion and decrease the uniformity of MR image. Moreover, the most suitable solution for phantom filler is CuSO4.5H2O 5 mM.

Pada skripsi ini dirancang sebuah resonator RF Birdcage Coil tanpa lumped circuit untuk aplikasi sistem Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). MRI merupakan teknologi pencitraan tubuh manusia untuk aplikasi diagnosis medis yang bersifat non-invasive dan tidak memiliki pengaruh radiasi foton seperti halnya yang terdapat pada sistem Computed Tomography (CT). MRI memanfaatkan efek kuat medan magnet untuk mensejajarkan susunan inti atom hidrogen (proton) dengan arah medan magnet eksternal. Pada saat yang bersamaan sistem memancarkan RF Pulse ke tubuh pasien kemudian menerima sinyal Magnetic Resonance (MR) untuk rekonstruksi citra penampang tubuh. Pada penilitian ini dirancang suatu resonator RF Birdcage Coil tanpa lumped circuit yang beresonansi di spektrum frekuensi 128 MHz. Secara desain, resonator ini dirancang terdiri atas Leg dan End Rings (ERs) terbuat dari selembar konduktor tembaga tipis yang ditempelkan di kedua sisi akrilik sebagai material substrat untuk memberikan nilai kapasitansi resonator dan sekaligus sebagai pembentuk konfigurasi resonator RF Birdcage Coil. End Rings disusun superposisi untuk membentuk kapasitor secara bergantian. Untuk mendapatkan frekuensi resonansi yang diinginkan, dilakukan tuning dengan cara memperbesar atau memperkecil dimensi plat tembaga End Rings untuk mengubah nilai kapasitansi resonator. Desain resonator dirancang dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak Birdcage Builder untuk menghitung nilai kapasitansi awal dan disimulasikan dengan perangkat lunak berbasis Finite Integration Technique (FIT). Setelah dilakukan validasi dengan cara pengukuran tanpa ada tubuh manusia, resonator dapat beresonansi di frekuensi 128,5 MHz. Pengujian resonator dengan memasukkan bagian tubuh manusia seperti kepala dan tangan, resonator memberikan response perubahan yang sangat kecil pada pergeseran frekuensi berturut-turut 128,8 MHz dan 127,7 MHz untuk kepala dan tangan manusia. ......In this final project the RF Birdcage Coil resonator is designed without using lumped circuit for application of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) system. MRI is a scanning technology of human body tissues to medical diagnosis application which generally is non-invasive and doesn’t has the impact of photon like another system such as Computed Tomography (CT). It utilizes the effect of magnetic field strength to aligns proton with external magnetic field and transmits the RF Pulse to the human body then recieves the Magnetic Resonance (MR) signal for image reconstruction simultaneously. In this research the RF Birdcage Coil resonator is designed without using lumped circuit and it can resonance in 128 MHz. This resonator has the Leg and End Rings which is made from copper foil and attached to the inner and outer of acrylic as a substrat material to produce the capacitance of the resonator and also as a shaper of the RF Birdcage Coil’s configuration. The End Rings arrange superposition to create the capacitance respectively. To get desired resonance frequency it should be tuned by make dimension foil of End Rings bigger or smaller to change the capacitance. Birdcage Builder as a software which used to design the beginning form of the resonator and count the first value of capacitance then simulated in software based on Finite Integration Technique. After validation with measurement without human body the resonator can resonance in 128,5 MHz. Measurement with import body parts such as head and hand into resonator give the smallest change in 128,8 MHz and 127,7 MHz for human head and hand respectively.
