Purpose The aim of this study was to develop a measurement protocol for noninvasive
simultaneous perfusion quantification and T 2 *‐weighted MRI acquisition in the exercising calf …

31 P magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is widely used for non-invasive investigation
of muscle metabolism dynamics. This study aims to extend knowledge on parameters …

Skeletal muscle metabolism is impaired in disorders like diabetes mellitus or peripheral
vascular disease. The skeletal muscle echo planar imaging (EPI) signal (S EPI ) and its relation …

Purpose To propose a quantitative model for a reliable and operator independent estimation
of parameters describing blood oxygen‐level dependent (BOLD) MRI time course in calf …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Pulsed arterial spin-labeling is a noninvasive MR imaging
perfusion method performed with the use of water in the arterial blood as an endogenous …

Objectives This study demonstrates the applicability of semi-LASER localized dynamic 31 P
MRS to deeper lying areas of the exercising human soleus muscle (SOL). The effect of …

Background Heme arginate can induce heme oxygenase-1 to protect tissue against
ischemia-reperfusion injury. Blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance …

… show a two-phase piezoresistive response; first, a linear strain response, after which the
more dominant electron-tunnelling piezoresistive phase starts with high gauge factors up to k ≈ …

Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is an emerging technique
for a more accurate assessment of local renal function [1]. Recent findings on NSF and …

Adequate perfusion is essential for muscle function and tissue health. Vascular complications
are a common problem in several diseases like diabetes mellitus. Arterial spin labeling …
