background hepatic fibrosis is a typical complication of chronic liver diseases resulting in cirrhosis that remains a major public health problem worldwide. liver biopsy is currently the gold standard for diagnosing and staging hepatic fibrosis. percutaneous liver biopsy; however, is an invasive procedure with risks of complications. therefore, there is need for alternative non-invasive techniq...

BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging of carotid plaque can aid in stroke risk stratification in patients with carotid stenosis. However, the prevalence of complicated carotid plaque in patients with cryptogenic stroke is uncertain, especially as assessed by plaque imaging techniques routinely included in acute stroke magnetic resonance imaging protocols. We assessed whether the magnetic resona...

This paper approaches the fixed-point computation involved in magnetic resonance image (MRI) reconstruction with most common technique, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on a parallelcomputing machine, Connex Array. We will show that fixed-point computation is a good alternative in real-time magnetic resonance imaging reconstruction as it can seriously improve reconstruction time (about 75% bett...

However, the prevalence of complicated carotid plaque in patients with cryptogenic stroke is uncertain, especially as assessed by plaque imaging techniques routinely included in acute stroke magnetic resonance imaging protocols.

Moyamoya disease is extremely rare. In children, it one of the rare causes ischemic stroke. We present a 4-year-old female patient diagnosed with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Angiography (MRA). case chronic lacunar infarct in white matter on magnetic resonance imaging, cigarette smoke image characterized by diffuse collateral vascular networks was observed MRA imaging. Since rare, we th...
