Quantitative T 2 Magnetic Resonance Imaging
The exceptional soft tissue contrast of which MRI benefits, makes it an important tool for medical diagnosis. Not only the contrast itself, but also the possible quantification of relaxation times T 1 and T 2 causing this contrast is of interest. This quantification has proven to be clinically useful in the context of neurological diseases such as schizophrenia, autism, Parkin-son's disease and...
متن کاملQuantitative assessment of muscle injury by 23Na magnetic resonance imaging
BACKGROUND (23)Na magnetic resonance imaging ((23)Na-MRI) is able to measure Na(+) in vivo in humans and allows quantification of tissue sodium distribution. We now tested the utility of (23)Na-MRI technique in detecting and assessing sports-related acute muscular injury. CASE PRESENTATION We assessed tissue Na(+) of both lower legs with a 3T MRI scanner using a customized (23)Na knee coil. T...
متن کاملMotor unit recruitment patterns 2: the influence of myoelectric intensity and muscle fascicle strain rate.
To effectively meet the force requirements of a given movement an appropriate number and combination of motor units must be recruited between and within muscles. Orderly recruitment of motor units has been shown to occur in a wide range of skeletal muscles, however, alternative strategies do occur. Faster motor units are better suited to developing force rapidly, and produce higher mechanical p...
متن کاملQuantitative Mapping of Angiogenesis by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Since tumors are commonly associated with angiogenesis and compromised vascular wall integrity, the ability to focus noninvasive imaging techniques on vascular characteristics provides a physiologically-specific approach to tumor delineation which is of utility in guiding the biopsy and in surgical or radiation treatment planning. Hypervascularisation mapped by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ...
