Magnetic resonance imaging of embryonic and fetal development in model systems.

چکیده
We give an overview of the applications and methods of high-resolution anatomical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the study of embryonic and fetal development in animal models. Challenges associated with performing in utero studies are described. Recent in utero images in mouse and in nonhuman primates are presented. Results using magnetic resonance microscopy in fixed mouse embryos and in amphibian embryos in vivo are reviewed. We discuss how studies of pregnancy in animal models aid in the translation of innovative new MRI techniques to clinical applications.

Bimodal imaging combines two imaging modalities in order to benefit from their advantages and compensate the limitations of each modality. This technique could accurately detect diseases for diagnostic purposes. Nanoparticles simultaneously offer diagnostic data via various imaging modalities owing to their unique properties. Moreover, bimodal nanoprobes could be incorporated into theranostic s...
متن کاملStatic Coil Design Considerations for the Magnetic Resonance Imaging
One of the main challenges in developing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems is to create a static coil that needs to generate magnetic field density along with the characteristics of optimal homogeneity and magnitude size. To do this, two N42 Block PMs are used and the iron core is designed and optimized in accordance with the dimensions of PM pieces using ANSYS Maxwell software. Then, al...
