허혈성 심질환 환자의 평가도구로서 MRI의 역할이 확대된 데에는 소위 "one-stop shop"이라는 통합적 심장검사법의 개발이 계기가 되었다. 즉 한 번의 MRI 검사로서 심실벽운동을 평가하여 심근의 기능과 예비능을 측정하여 만성 심근경색을 평가할 수 있고, 심근의 관류를 평가할 수 있고, 관동맥의 혈류 예비능과 심근의 viability를 평가하고, 관동맥 조영술을 통해, 수술 후의 우회로 평가 및 관동맥의 협착 여부의 진단이 가능한 프로토콜이 MRI장비마다 각각 개발되어 보급되고 있다. 하드웨어와 소프트웨어의 개발과 지속적인 연구를 통해서 MRI는 허혈성 심질환의 진단적 검사로서 기존의 다른 검사들과 비교하여 높은 시간적, 공간적 해상력으로 정확한 구조와 기능의 평가를 제공할 수 있는 가장 유용한 검사가 될 것으로 사료된다 특히, MR 관동맥조영술, 심근관류검사, 심근 표지법, dobutamine 부하검사, viability 평가, plaque characterization, MR spectroscopy 분야에서 현재 활발히 연구가 진행되고 있으며 향후 임상적용이 확대될 것으로 예상된다.

Purpose： To investigate whether there are significant changes in regional brain metabolism in patients with Parkinson's disease after thalamotomy using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS). Materials and methods： Fifteen patients with Parkinson's disease of mean age 56.5 years (7 males and 8 females； mean age, 56.5 years) that have treated with levodopa were included. All patients with tremor experienced amelioration of their symptoms on the side contralateral to the thalamotomy. As a single-voxel technique, 1H MR spectra were obtained from the volume of interested regions in thalamus and primary motor cortex. Spectral parameters were： 20 ms TE, 2000 ms TR, 128 averages, 2500 Hz spectral width, and 2048 data points.

Purpose : To evaluate the correlation of lesion-to-normal ratio (LNR) of signal intensity from double inversion recovery MR imaging and total choline-containing compound (tCho) resonance from single voxel MR spectroscopy in breast cancers. Materials and Methods: Between August 2008 and December 2009, 28 patients who were diagnosed as breast cancer and had undergone both double inversion recovery (DIR) MR imaging and MR spectroscopy (MRS) were included in this study. The signal intensities of the lesion (L) and ipsilateral normal breast tissue (N) were measured in region of interest of each breast cancer in DIR and contrast enhance MR image (CE-T1WI) to calculate the LNR value for each technique. MRS was performed using single-voxel MR spectroscopy. The height, width and area of tCho resonance were compared with each LNR of DIR and CE-T1WI. We used Pearson's correlation coefficient(r) for correlation analysis and the significance level was p=0.05. Results: There was no statistically significant correlation between LNR of CE-T1WI and height (r=-0.322, p=0.094), width (r=-0.233, p=0.232) and area (r=-0.309, p=0.109) of MRS tCho. There was no statistically significant correlation between LNR of DIR and height (r=0.067, p=0.735), width (r=-0.287, p=0.139) and area (r=0.012, p=0.953) of MRS tCho, either. The Pearson's correlation coefficient was 0.186 between LNRs of CET1WI and DIR (p=0.344). Conclusion: There was no statistically significant correlation between LNR of DIR and relative amount of tCho resonance of MRS.
