Undersampled projection reconstruction applied to MR angiography

…, FR Korosec, TM Grist, WF Block… - … in Medicine: An …, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
Undersampled projection reconstruction (PR) is investigated as an alternative method for
MRA (MR angiography). In conventional 3D Fourier transform (FT) MRA, resolution in the …

Time‐resolved contrast‐enhanced imaging with isotropic resolution and broad coverage using an undersampled 3D projection trajectory

AV Barger, WF Block, Y Toropov… - … in Medicine: An …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Time‐resolved contrast‐enhanced 3D MR angiography (MRA) methods have gained in
popularity but are still limited by the tradeoff between spatial and temporal resolution. A method …

PC VIPR: a high-speed 3D phase-contrast method for flow quantification and high-resolution angiography

T Gu, FR Korosec, WF Block, SB Fain… - American journal …, 2005 - Am Soc Neuroradiology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Three-dimensional phase-contrast (3DPC) is limited by long
imaging times, limited coverage, flow artifacts, and the need to perform multiple additional …

Improved 3D phase contrast MRI with off‐resonance corrected dual echo VIPR

…, DP Lum, PA Turski, WF Block… - … in Medicine: An …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Phase contrast (PC) magnetic resonance imaging with a three‐dimensional, radially
undersampled acquisition allows for the acquisition of high resolution angiograms and velocimetry …

Autologous transplant therapy alleviates motor and depressive behaviors in parkinsonian monkeys

…, S Phillips, JE Holden, V Bondarenko, WF Block… - Nature medicine, 2021 - nature.com
Degeneration of dopamine (DA) neurons in the midbrain underlies the pathogenesis of
Parkinson’s disease (PD). Supplement of DA via L-DOPA alleviates motor symptoms but does …

Overexpressing corticotropin-releasing factor in the primate amygdala increases anxious temperament and alters its neural circuit

…, DR McFarlin, AL Alexander, ME Emborg, WF Block… - Biological …, 2016 - Elsevier
Background Nonhuman primate models are critical for understanding mechanisms
underlying human psychopathology. We established a nonhuman primate model of anxious …

Fast realistic MRI simulations based on generalized multi-pool exchange tissue model

F Liu, JV Velikina, WF Block, R Kijowski… - IEEE transactions on …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We present MRiLab, a new comprehensive simulator for large-scale realistic MRI simulations
on a regular PC equipped with a modern graphical processing unit (GPU). MRiLab …

Characterizing and correcting gradient errors in non‐cartesian imaging: Are gradient errors linear time‐invariant (LTI)?

…, AA Samsonov, WF Block - Magnetic Resonance in …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Non‐Cartesian and rapid imaging sequences are more sensitive to scanner imperfections
such as gradient delays and eddy currents. These imperfections vary between scanners and …

Vastly Undersampled Isotropic Projection Steady-State Free Precession Imaging of the Knee: Diagnostic Performance Compared with Conventional MR1

…, JL Klaers, K Shinki, AA De Smet, WF Block - Radiology, 2009 - pubs.rsna.org
