Protonikontrastiaation
Protonikontrastiaation is a term used primarily in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to describe the use of proton-based contrast mechanisms for visualizing tissue structure and pathology. It refers to the manipulation of proton density and relaxation properties—T1, T2, and T2*—through specialized pulse sequences and contrast agents to enhance the visibility of specific anatomical regions or disease processes.
The technique exploits the fact that protons in hydrogen atoms, approximately 99% of the atoms in the
In clinical practice, protonikontrastiaation is routinely employed to detect tumors, inflammatory lesions, demyelinating disease, and vascular
Overall, protonikontrastiaation remains a cornerstone of MRI diagnostics, providing clinicians with a versatile, non-invasive tool for
