BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Differentiating between intracranial cysts or cyst-like structures
and communicating or noncommunicating cysts is often not possible with cranial CT or …

An analysis of three‐dimensional movement of the mitral valve annulus (MVA) may address
the question of geometrical change after mitral valve repair to preserve mitral annular …

using a polymeric T1 contrast agent: initial experience with gadomer-17. Invest Radiol …

Rationale and objectives: Differential diagnosis of malignant and benign lymph nodes is still
a problem in lymphographic imaging modalities. Plain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …

Conclusion: These data show that monitoringmalignant lym phoma of the bone still presents
diagnostic problems. Given the high sensitivity of MRI and the high specificity of …

Mitral annular inflexibility due to rigid prostheses (ring or valve) has long been considered to
contribute to the mechanism of dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction after …

Insertion of a rigid mitral prosthesis impairs the function of the mitral annulus and induces
systolic narrowing of the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT). To study this mechanism, we …

Detection of Doppler signal tends to be more difficult in peripheral veins owing to low flow
velocity. This can be caused by nonoccluding thrombosis, post‐thrombotic wall changes, or a …

The mechanism of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction in the patient after mitral
valve replacement or repair was examined with the aid of 2D echocardiography. For the …

A rigorous approach is applied to the thermal design of counterflow cooling towers, by
obviating the six simplifying assumptions in the classical Merkel method. It is indicated that: (1) …
