Magnetic resonance imaging of experimental brain edema in cats. 1985

T Shirakuni, and T Nagashima, and N Tamaki, and S Matsumoto

The authors observed the natural course of experimental brain edema in vivo using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. To detect and qualify the edematous lesion, they obtained images by the spin echo technique (repetition time, 2100 ms; echo time, 80 ms). These showed the maximal brain edema on the 1st to 3rd days after the operation, as evidenced by a pixel density study and a finding of mass effect. On MR images enhanced with manganese, the inversion recovery technique (repetition time, 2100 ms; inversion time, 500 ms) demonstrated the edematous lesion as a high signal intensity area with good spatial resolution. Moreover, the follow-up inversion recovery images with manganese suggested that there was a system for absorption of edema fluid between blood vessels and the edematous lesion. The authors think that MR imaging is an important technique for observation of the dynamics of experimental brain edema.

D001929 Brain Edema Increased intracellular or extracellular fluid in brain tissue. Cytotoxic brain edema (swelling due to increased intracellular fluid) is indicative of a disturbance in cell metabolism, and is commonly associated with hypoxic or ischemic injuries (see HYPOXIA, BRAIN). An increase in extracellular fluid may be caused by increased brain capillary permeability (vasogenic edema), an osmotic gradient, local blockages in interstitial fluid pathways, or by obstruction of CSF flow (e.g., obstructive HYDROCEPHALUS).

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
