چکیده
W. R. Bauer Bayerische Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Medizinische Universitätsklinik, Josef-schneider-Strasse 2, 97080 Würzburg, Germany Abstract We describe the NMR signal formation properties of a single vessel. Instead of assuming the frequency distribution to be a simple Lorentzian or Gaussian one, we take into account that the frequency distribution around the vessel is a complex function. Considering the static dephasing regime we find a relationship between signal formation and frequency distribution. Analytical expressions for the frequency distribution in a voxel and the magnetization decay are obtained. In the case of small volume fractions of blood and week magnetic fields the results can be used for describing signal formation processes in a vascular network. A relationship between the frequency distribution and the properties of the vascular network is derived. The magnetization decay in different time regimes is discussed. The result is relevant for describing signal formation processes around a vessel for arbitrary pulse sequences.

Dispersion of prion protein deposits around blood vessels in variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
In variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), a disease linked to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), florid-type prion protein (PrP(sc)) deposits are aggregated around the larger diameter (> 10 µm) cerebral microvessels. Clustering of PrP(sc) deposits around blood vessels may result from blood-borne prions or be a consequence of the cerebral vasculature influencing the development of the fl...
متن کاملPathologies cardiac discrimination using the Fast Fourir Transform (FFT) The short time Fourier transforms (STFT) and the Wigner distribution (WD)
This paper is concerned with a synthesis study of the fast Fourier transform (FFT), the short time Fourier transform (STFT and the Wigner distribution (WD) in analysing the phonocardiogram signal (PCG) or heart cardiac sounds. The FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) can provide a basic understanding of the frequency contents of the heart sounds. The STFT is obtained by calculating the Fourier tran...
متن کاملDosimetry of 188Re and 186Re sources based on Monte Carlo calculations for endovascular brachytherapy after balloon angioplasty
Background: Recent pre-clinical and clinical studies indicate that irradiation in the dose range of 15 to 30 Gy can reduce rate of restenosis in patients who have undergone an angioplasty. The use of filled balloon with radioactive solution was proposed as one of the possible intravascular irradiation techniques. Materials and Methods: The Monte Carlo N-particle Transport Code (MCNP4b) was used...

This study was conducted to survey of distribution and abundance of cutlassfish (Trichiurus lepturus, Linnaeus 1758) as target species between the fishing grounds of Bushehr and Hormozgan provinces. Sampling operations were carried out during the summer season in Bushehr province and autumn season in Hormozgan province in 2013. The fishing operation was done using commercial trawler vessel with...
