- 요약Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a powerful diagnostic modality, able to capture both functional and anatomical data noninvasively. The aim of this dissertation was to develop and assess novel MRI methodology in acquisition, reconstruction, and post-processing to advance in-vivo assessment of disease in two regions of the body: 1) the placenta and 2) the heart.1) The placenta plays a critical role in the development and long-term health of both fetus and mother; the ability to adequately quantify placental function in vivo, especially in early pregnancy could be a powerful tool for clinical decision making and therapeutic monitoring yet is currently not available. Ultrasound is commonly used in prenatal care, but its value to assess placental function is limited by a narrow field of view and poor contrast between uterus and placenta. Here, the value of dynamic contrast enhanced MRI for identifying underlying placental structures, quantifying their volumes and functional parameters associated with contrast bolus passage, and assessing their changes with pathology is demonstrated in a Rhesus Macaque model of zika virus, potentially laying the foundation for feasibility studies in humans. A promising alternative to flow associated functional analysis without the need for a contrast agent is velocity selective arterial spin labelling (VS-ASL) MRI; we present a large human study of normal and high body mass index (BMI) patients and report perfusion heterogeneity and trends that offer insight into placental development.
