Predictors for the degree of clinical recovery after stroke are still poorly defined. In this study
we tried to assess the predictive value of clinical data and of lesion size for motor recovery …

We report in vitro T 1 and T 2 relaxation studies for the open-chain complexes Gd-DTPA
and Gd-DTPA BMA. Measurements were performed on phantoms containing aqueous and …

… Using a radioactive tracer as an indicator, we can determine the amount q(t) directly by
measuring the decay rate. This is different in MR imaging, where the measured signal in each …

… (5): T 2 * = 1 1 T 2 + γ ⋅ Δ B In case of the magnetic field inhomogenity the virtual MR scanner
simulates a typical real-world scanner with a field strength B = 1.0 T. These scanners have …

Purpose Several publications have reported that the apparent diffusion coefficient is
generally lower in metastatically affected vertebrae. Therefore, metastases are represented in …

… Measurements were performed using GE sequences on a 1.5 T scanner without echo planar
imaging capability. As a measure of quality of a single examination, the temporal behavior …

Purpose In this article we investigate the application of a method that uses the relaxation
effect of bolus-like injected Gd-DTPA to quantify regional cerebral blood volume (rCBV). The …

We have developed, validated, and employed a technique of retrospective spatial
alignment and integrated display of positron emission tomographic (PET) and high-resolution …

Objective: The main objective of this study was to evaluate a clinically suspected renovascular
hypertension (RVH) by means of MRI. It was to find out if functional MRI (fMRI) is able to …

Based upon magnetic resonance scans of five human tibiae a three-dimensional finite
element model using eight nodal isoparametric elements was developed to analyze the …
