BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Increased fat content in vertebrae may indicate bone
weakness. Vertebral proton MR spectroscopy ( 1 H MRS) quantitatively measures vertebral fat …

Fifty-seven subjects underwent proton magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy of the
second lumbar vertebra to evaluate single-voxel and multivoxel techniques. Measurements …

The peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) is an 18-kDa high affinity drug- and
cholesterol-binding protein that is involved in various cell functions, including cell proliferation …

In three healthy gravidas at 38 and 39 weeks gestation, fetal MR spectroscopy was performed
with a breath-hold technique by using the following pulse sequences: single voxel point-…

This report focuses on proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H MRS) of spine vertebra
acquired with two‐dimensional chemical shift imaging (2D CSI), utilizing the stimulated …

Background Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a noninvasive technique that detects
molecules within a specified region in vivo. Lecithin, the major component of surfactant, …

The prenatal determination of fetal lung maturity is currently assessed by chemical analysis
of surfactant associated lipids from amniotic fluid obtained by amniocentesis. This is an …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have demonstrated localized brain
activation during cognitive tasks. Brain activation increases with task complexity and …

The construction of two novel mult‐segment (MS) resonators are described. The signal‐to‐noise
ratio (SNR) and B 1 homogeneity of the coils are compared with that of a surface coil …

We characterize the trabecular structure with the aid of fractal dimension. We use alternating
sequential filters (ASF) to generate a nonlinear pyramid for fractal dimension computations. …
