MR images of the brain were acquired on the same day as the test or retest PET scan to define the regions of interest (ROIs). MR imaging was performed in an Achieva 3.0-T system (Philips) with a circularly polarized head coil. MR images were acquired in an axial 3D spoiled gradient echo (SPGR) sequence, at 2.49 ms echo time, 6000 ms repetition time, and 15-degree flip angle. The image dimensions were 512  ×  512  ×  210 and pixel size was 0.47  ×  0.47  ×  1.0 mm.

Bioluminescence confirmed CNS-L mice were used for MR and PET imaging studies in the next few days after the NIRF imaging. MR imaging was performed using a Philips Achieva 3.0 T system. Mice were anesthetized with 2,2,2-Tribromoethanol (100 μl/g), fixed on the holder, and placed into the mouse-imaging coil. Gd-S5 or a control agent was delivered by the tail vein at a dose of 0.03 mmol of Gd/kg for the T1 mapping sequence in NALM6-luciferase tumor-bearing mice. The clinical commonly used MR contrast medium gadolinium-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-DTPA), which is a nonspecific agent, was used as control. On two separate days, mice received either a control enhance-agent (0.03 mmol of Gd/kg) or Gd-S5 (0.03 mmol of Gd/kg) injection and subsequent MR imaging, with at least 3 days between the scans to ensure most of the gadolinium were cleared. Axial T1-weighted images were acquired by using a gradient-echo sequence with the following parameters: TR/TE = 8.771/2.878 ms, FOV = 4.0 cm, slice thickness = −1 mm, slice spacing = 0.5, pixel spacing = 0.234 mm × 0.234 mm, and matrix = 128 × 128.

MR imaging was performed using a Philips Achieva 3.0 T system. Mice were anesthetized with 2,2,2-Tribromoethanol (100µL/g), fixed on the holder and placed into the mouse-imaging coil. At the beginning of scanning, sagittal section images using a localized sequence were obtained to target the HCC lesion. DOTA(Gd)-ANADYWR or control agent was delivered by tail vein at a dose of 0.03 mmol of Gd/kg for T1-weighted image  in subcutaneous HCC-LM3 tumor-bearing mice, orthotopic HCC-LM3-luciferase tumor-bearing mice, c-Myc transgenic mice and DEN-induced HCC mice. Either nonspecific clinical agent Gadoteridol or hepatocyte-specific contrast agent Gd-EOB-DTPA (Primovist, Bayer, Germany) was used as a control. On two separate days, mice received either control enhance-agent (0.03 mmol of Gd/kg) or DOTA(Gd)-ANADYWR (0.03 mmol of Gd/kg) and MR imaging, with at least 3 days between scans to ensure most of the gadolinium was cleared. Axial T1-weighted images were acquired by using a turbo spin echo sequence with the following parameters: TR/TE = 450/15.4 ms; FOV = 4.0 cm; slice thickness= 1 mm; slice spacing = 0.5; pixel spacing = 0.234 mm × 0.234 mm; matrix = 128×128.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We studied 23 IDH1 wild-type GBM patients, newly diagnosed and with no history of surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy (Supplementary Table S1). MR images were captured using the Achieva 3.0 T system (Philips Medical Systems) within 7 d before removal of the respective brain tumor. Axial images were taken parallel to the anterior and posterior limbs of the corpus callosum. The invasion was quantified as the area occupied by the tumor, [T2 FLAIR − T1 contrast-enhanced (CE)]/T1 CE, as suggested in a previous study [22 (link)]. TS-forming GBM cells were established from fresh patient tissue specimens [10 (link)]. For TS culture [12 (link), 23 –25 (link)], cells were cultured in TS complete medium comprising DMEM/F-12 (Mediatech), 1× B27 (Invitrogen), 20 ng/mL bFGF, and 20 ng/mL EGF (Sigma-Aldrich). For 3D invasion assays [12 (link)], each well of a 96-well plate was filled with a mixed matrix comprising Matrigel, collagen type I (Corning Incorporated), and TS complete medium. Single spheroids were seeded inside the matrix prior to gelation, followed by the addition of TS complete medium over the gelled matrix to prevent drying. The invaded area was quantified as the occupied area after 72 h of culture relative to the occupied area at the start of culture, as (72 h – 0 h)/0 h.

Liver MRI and in vivo single-voxel proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) were performed using a Philips Achieva 3.0T system (Philips Medical Systems, Eindhoven, Netherlands) equipped with an 8-channel phase coil. Anatomical T1-weighted spin-echo MR images were obtained using the following parameters: repetition time (TR) 550 ms; echo time (TE) 10 ms; flip angle 60; field of view (FOV) 21 cm; slice thickness 3 mm; slice spacing 0.1 mm. 1H-MRS was used to measure hepatic metabolites. 2D-Spin-echo images in the coronal and sagittal regions were obtained for image-guided localization of voxel of interest (VOI) for spectroscopic data acquisition. Then, single-voxel MRS was performed by a stimulated echo acquisition mode sequence using the following parameters: TE 20 ms; TR 1500 ms; VOX 15 × 15 × 15 mm; total number of points 128; total number of average 64. Finally, eight-step phase cycling was used to suppress unwanted signals or artifacts. Signal intensities of the water peak at 4.7 ppm (Sw) and the intrahepatocellular fat peak at 1.2 ppm (Sf) were quantified. Liver fat % (LFP) is then calculated: Sf/(Sf + Sw) × 100% [11 (link)]. A liver fat of 5.56% is used as cutoff value for diagnosing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [12 (link)].

Mukaino-9 MR images were obtained using a Philips Achieva 3.0-T system at each hospital. 3D T1weighted magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition gradient echo images (repetition time = The estimated total intracranial, hippocampal, and hippocampal subregion volumes were calculated using FreeSurfer version 7.1.0 (Figure S1). 28, (link)29 (link) All MR images and segmentations were visually checked to ensure the quality of the analyses. The hippocampal volumetry analysis was hypothesis-driven, and we specifically selected the whole hippocampus and the CA1, CA2/3, CA4 and dentate gyrus subfields. We considered the subicular complex (subiculum, presubiculum and parasubiculum) as one structure because, in general, the inner subfields are functionally indistinctive. The whole hippocampal and subfield volumes were normalized using the estimated total intracranial volume using the residual method. 30 (link) For the multiple regression analyses, the volumetric results were converted to z-scores and then entered into the model.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
