Purpose : We determined the accuracy of the novel Urostation 3-dimensional transrectal
ultrasound system (Koelis, La Tranche, France) for image based mapping biopsies in a prostate …

One of the most prolific chemical and anatomical imaging techniques of recent decades,
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), includes the ability to noninvasively assess neurochemical …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Aneurysm clips need to be tested at 3T to characterize MR
imaging concerns, including magnetic field interactions, MR imaging−related heating, and …

Specialized implants are used for transcatheter closure of septal defects, including atrial and
ventricular septal defects, and patent foramen ovale. These metallic devices may pose a …

… For this condition, it is assumed that any risk imposed by the application of the magnetically
induced force is no greater than any risk imposed by normal daily activity in the Earth’s …

Purpose To evaluate MRI issues at 3-Tesla for a ventricular assist device (VAD). Methods
The AB5000 Ventricle with a prototype Nitinol wire-reinforced In-Flow Cannula and Out-Flow …

Objective Recently, the first 7-Tesla MR system was approved for clinical use in Europe and
the United States. Unfortunately, few metallic objects have undergone testing in association …

METHODS We used 3 phantoms (CIRS-053), which contain 3 randomly located hypo-echoic
lesions 0.5 cc in volume, and 3 other phantoms (CIRS-066), which contain 3 randomly …

Methods: Prospectively undersampled DCE scans were acquired on a 3T GE Signa HDxt with
an eight channel head coil using a custom 2D multi-slice spoiled gradient echo sequence. …

Methods: Our pulse sequence consisted of an adiabatic BIR-4 saturation RF pulse followed
by 3DFT GRE acquisition. Slab excitation was achieved with a RF pulse having a time-…
