The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of a differentiation of iodine from other
materials and of different body tissues using dual energy CT. Ten patients were scanned on a …

Purpose To evaluate the validity of different approaches to determine the signal‐to‐noise ratio
(SNR) in MRI experiments with multi‐element surface coils, parallel imaging, and different …

Objectives : The aim of the present study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice
computed tomography (CT) to identify and quantify atherosclerotic coronary lesions in …

Background The number of trauma centres using whole-body CT for early assessment of
primary trauma is increasing. There is no evidence to suggest that use of whole-body CT has …

Our objective was to evaluate image quality and radiation exposure of retrospectively ECG-gated
multislice helical CT (MSCT) investigations of the heart with ECG-controlled tube …

Objectives : We evaluated the accuracy of a new 64-slice computed tomography (CT)
scanner, compared with intravascular ultrasound, to visualize atherosclerosis in the proximal …

Objectives : We evaluated the accuracy of contrast-enhanced multidetector spiral computed
tomography (MDCT) for the noninvasive detection and classification of coronary plaques …

The authors introduce a method for cardiac investigations by using electrocardiographically
gated spiral scanning with a four-section computed tomographic system. Three-dimensional …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been proposed for experimental and
therapeutic modulation of regional brain function. Specifically, anodal tDCS of the dorsolateral …

Background In patients with cirrhosis and ascites, creation of a transjugular intrahepatic
portosystemic shunt may reduce the ascites and improve renal function. However, the benefit of …
