Abstract:
MR-T1ρ imaging is one of the novelest MRI techniques in recent years,T1ρ relaxation mainly reflect the interaction between water molecules and the surrounding macromolecu]es.Due to the unique point of view,the technique has been used to investigate a variety of pathological mechanisms in early stage of diseases,such as the content of collagen protein in articular cartilage,neuron apoptosis in neurodegenerative diseases and so on,which provides a new tool for detecting lesions in ultra-early stage or the evaluation of treatment effect.
