In this study we assessed different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning regimes and
examined some of the assumptions commonly made for measuring body fat content by MRI…

Background We postulated that during ontogenesis cortical surface area and cerebral
volume are related by a scaling law whose exponent gives a quantitative measure of cortical …

Most growth in cortical connections and complexity occurs after 25 weeks. The cerebral
cortex of extremely preterm infants when imaged at gestational age 38–42 weeks had less …

Background The function of local renin-angiotensin systems in skeletal muscle and adipose
tissue remains largely unknown. A polymorphism of the human angiotensin converting …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Qualitative decreases in maternal brain size have been
observed late in pregnancy. The aim of this study was to quantitatively evaluate changes to the …

Objective: Methods for automatically registering and reslicing MR images using an
interpolation function that matches the structure of the image data are described. Materials and …

Visceral obesity is detrimental to health, but the mechanisms controlling body fat distribution
are not fully understood. In premenopausal adult females (30 nonobese, 14 obese [body …

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the potential of accurate image registration
for detecting subtle changes in the brain. Materials and Methods: Isotropic T1-weighted …

The aim of this study was to use whole‐body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) together
with biochemical and anthropometric measurements to study the influence of regular …

Objective To determine the birth prevalence of cleft lip and palate (CL ± P) in the
municipality of Sucre, Bolivia. To ascertain whether the birth prevalence in this region differs …
