Abstract

Fusion techniques on MRI for brain tumors can provide comprehensive visualization by combining Axial T2-Flair and Axial T1-GD (T1-weighted post-contrast) sequence images. Fusion MRI in brain tumors is able to clearly display the location, size and characteristics of the tumor. However, not all institutions can install such additional fusion software due to significant additional costs. Therefore, this study aims to prove that the Stacks feature on ImageJ as an alternative can be optimal in visualizing brain tumor image information through MRI fusion techniques. This study used 17 image samples with a quasi experimental design post test only without control group design to compare three analysis methods, namely fusion maximum intensity, minimum intensity and average intensity so that the most suitable projection can be determined. The evaluation of image quality was carried out through a histogram which was then analyzed with a crucal-wallis and the Mann Whitney u test, while the analysis of pathological information used a crucal-wallis, followed by a post hoc test and continued with Mann Whitney u for further analysis. The results show that the stacks feature on ImageJ can be used in the application of fusion techniques so that it will improve the contrast and sharpness of MRI images, especially in areas with high tumor activity. MRI images of brain tumors with maximum fusion intensity produced images with the highest average gray level and the best pathological information. This projection is more optimal than the minimum intensity and average intensity because it provides a more detailed and clear visualization of brain tumors.

Abstract

Sedation of propofol, chloral hydrate, midazolam, and ketamine is commonly used in MRI examinations. There are still risky side effects from the previous 4 sedations, so melatonin tablets are a safer option. Melatonin synthesized in tablets can still cause quite adverse side effects. Pistachios processed into milk can be used as an alternative to natural melatonin oral sedation. Research Objective: To determine the potential of pistachio milk as an alternative to oral melatonin sedation to support MRI examinations. Research Method: This research uses the R&D (Research and Development) method with 4 stages, namely finding potentials and problems, data collection, product design, and design validation. The product in the form of 200 mL pistachio milk with concentration variants of 35 g, 45 g, 55 g, 65 g was tested in a laboratory to determine its potential from the test results with a reference to melatonin tablets of 10 mg. Research Results: Laboratory tests showed the presence of melatonin and other accompanying ingredients such as phenolics, carotene, and polyphenols. The melatonin content of the 35 g, 45 g, 55 g, 65 g variants is 5.5 mg, 6.1 mg, 8.7 mg, 10.5 mg, respectively. Conclusion: Pistachio milk with a 65 g variant has a melatonin content of 10.5 mg which is close to the reference for sedation of melatonin tablets of 10 mg, so it has the potential to be an alternative to oral sedation of melatonin to support MRI examinations.
