چکیده
and those denoted ‘estimate’ were calculated by extending the SQUID measurement to the 5% and 2.5% Feridex magnetocapsules. FIG. 1. PDQ-calculated magnetic moment distribution for 3,692 individual magnetocapsules. Magnetocapsules were randomly dispersed in 12 separate agarose gel phantoms. Numerical magnetic moment values are in Table 1. PDQ’s ability to measure magnetic moment is demonstrated by its strong correlation to Feridex concentration. This distribution also suggests that PDQ results are sufficiently consistent across separate MRI scans to allow for compiling and comparing results between different samples. Inlay shows typical sample consisting of 1000+ capsules suspended in agarose gel.

SPIO-Annexin V, a potential probe for MRI detection of radiation induced apoptosis
Background: Finding a suitable method for rapid, accurate and reliable estimation of absorbed dose has high priority in management of the radiation exposed persons. Shortly after radiation exposure, apoptosis is a major detriment in proliferative tissues such as the hematopoietic system. Therefore, quantification of apoptosis in these tissues could be useful for rapid estimation of radiation ex...
متن کاملComparison of Two Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping Measurement Methods Used For Anatomical Localization of the Iron-Incorporated Deep Brain Nuclei
Introduction Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a new contrast mechanism in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The images produced by the QSM enable researchers and clinicians to easily localize specific structures of the brain, such as deep brain nuclei. These nuclei are targets in many clinical applications and therefore their easy localization is a must. In this study, we aimed to i...
