Ein experimentelles Organmodell für die MR-Bildgebung

The pumps for the perfusate circulation were installed outside the scanner's room, where oxygenation and heating of the perfusate was also performed. In the MR examinations, T1- and T2-weighted sequences could be used to display the morphology of the organs and the spatial perfusion distribution after administration of contrast media. The images revealed oedema development during reperfusion and an inhomogenous perfusion distribution. Thus, the model allows for the non-invasive investigation of morphology and perfusion distribution in isolated reperfused organs.
