AbstractThe success of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is deeply rooted in the powerful concept that during their random, diffusion‐driven displacements molecules probe tissue structure at a microscopic scale well beyond the usual image resolution. As diffusion is truly a three‐dimensional process, molecular mobility in tissues may be anisotropic, as in ...... hiện toàn bộ 4D flow MRI Tập 36 Số 5 - Trang 1015-1036 - 2012

AbstractTraditionally, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of flow using phase contrast (PC) methods is accomplished using methods that resolve single‐directional flow in two spatial dimensions (2D) of an individual slice. More recently, three‐dimensional (3D) spatial encoding combined with three‐directional velocity‐encoded phase contrast MRI (here termed 4D flow MRI...... hiện toàn bộ Encoding strategies for three‐direction phase‐contrast MR imaging of flow Tập 1 Số 4 - Trang 405-413 - 1991

AbstractThree encoding strategies for the measurement of flow velocities in arbitrary directions with phase‐contrast magnetic resonance imaging are presented; their noise and dynamic range performance are compared by means of theoretical analysis and computer simulation. A six‐point measurement strategy is shown to be quite inefficient in terms of velocity variance...... hiện toàn bộ Nephrotoxicity of high‐dose gadolinium compared with iodinated contrast Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 162-166 - 1996

AbstractTo determine if high‐dose gadolinium chelates are less nephrotoxic than iodinated contrast. Records of 342 patients who had received high‐dose gadolinium (.2 to .4 mmol/kg) for magnetic resonance imaging were reviewed to identify patients who had also received iodinated contrast for radiographic examinations. Their clinical course and laboratory data were r...... hiện toàn bộ Proton MR spectroscopy in quantitative in vivo determination of fat content in human liver steatosis Tập 5 Số 3 - Trang 281-285 - 1995

AbstractTo demonstrate that the lipid volume fraction In liver steatosis can be accurately estimated with in vivo hydrogen‐1 magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy, the authors developed a calibration procedure based on in vitro MR spectroscopy of lipid extracts from steatotlc liver specimens. The lipid volume fractions determined with the calibration procedure were ...... hiện toàn bộ Semiautomated method for noise reduction and background phase error correction in MR phase velocity data Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 521-530 - 1993

AbstractBackground phase distortion and random noise can adversely affect the quality of magnetic resonance (MR) phase velocity measurements. A semiauto‐mated method has been developed that substantially reduces both effects. To remove the background phase distortion, the following steps were taken: The time standard deviations of the phase velocity images over a c...... hiện toàn bộ Report on a multicenter fMRI quality assurance protocol Tập 23 Số 6 - Trang 827-839 - 2006
Lee Friedman, Gary H. Glover
AbstractTemporal stability during an fMRI acquisition is very important because the blood oxygen level‐dependent (BOLD) effects of interest are only a few percent in magnitude. Also, studies involving the collection of groups of subjects over time require stable scanner performance over days, weeks, months, and even years. We describe a protocol designed by one of ...... hiện toàn bộ
