Morphologic images were acquired with body coil using TSE T2-weighted imaging (slice thickness 8 mm, no gap, matrix 256 × 154, in-plane resolution 1.7 × 1.3 mm, TR depending upon RR interval, TE 78 ms), and TSE T1-weighted imaging (slice thickness 8 mm, no gap, TR depending upon RR interval, TE 6,9 ms, flip angle 180°).
A comparison between DWI findings and morphologic images is a prerequisite for correct image analysis and interpretation.
A comparison with morphologic images is mandatory to exclude necrotic areas from measurement because these might lead to a false higher ADC values.
Morphologic images were captured with a CoolCam 2000 video system and frame grabber (Cool Camera Company, Decatur, GA) and prints were prepared with a Sony Mavigraph color video printer (Sony Electronics, San Jose, CA).
To avoid this pitfall, correlation with symptoms and morphologic MR images is essential.
Morphologic changes in the images are clearly observed at the different depth levels (note the circled region), validating the optical sectioning capability of the SECM probe.
The morphologic resolutions of these CT images are rather poor as compared to MRI.
To identify brain sulci, sulcal images were generated by morphologic operations and then separated into different components based on connectivity analysis.
They claim that the healing studies do not illustrate chronicity of the TMP and that morphologic evidence, such as otoscopic and histological images, is lacking.
If comparison images are not available, size and morphologic characteristics may be helpful.
