BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Magic angle effects are well recognized in MR imaging of
tendons and ligaments, but have received virtually no attention in MR neurography. We …

PURPOSE: Normal adult cortical bone has a very short T 2 and characteristically produces
no signal with pulse sequence echo times (TEs) routinely used in clinical practice. We wished …

Purpose To assess the feasibility of imaging the liver in volunteers and patients with ultrashort
echo time (UTE) pulse sequences. Materials and Methods Seven normal controls as well …

Purpose To assess the values of pulse sequences with ultrashort echo times (0.08 msec) for
detecting and characterizing periosteum. Materials and Methods Two normal volunteers …

Performing magnetic resonance investigations in a paediatric population can be difficult;
image acquisition is commonly complicated by movement artefact and non-compliance. …

Purpose To investigate whether magnetic field–related anisotropies of collagen may be
correlated with postmortem findings in animal models. Methods Optimized scan planning and …

Articular cartilage is a complex avascular and aneural tissue. Once its surface is disrupted, it
is difficult to repair. Cartilage consists of an anisotropic extracellular collagen matrix …

Objective: Uncertainty exists regarding optimal supplemental diet for very preterm infants if
the motherLs own milk (MM) is insufficient. We evaluated feasibility for a randomised …

In tissues containing significant amounts of organised collagen, such as tendons, ligaments,
menisci and articular cartilage, MR imaging exhibits a strong signal intensity variation …
