The initial symptoms are probably caused by mechanical occlusion of multiple blood vessels with fat globules that are too large to pass through the capillaries. The vascular occlusion in fat embolism is often temporary or incomplete, as fat globules do not obstruct capillary blood flow completely because of their fluidity and deformability. The late presentation is thought to be a result of hyd...

INTRODUCTION Effective cartilage imaging and whole organ joint assessment requires both high isotropic resolution and fat suppression or separation. SSFP lends itself to this task as it rapidly creates high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and T2-like contrast with bright fluid signal. However, SSFP also produces bright fat signal which may interfere with visualization of the critical cartilage/bone...

Introduction: Breast MRI is a highly sensitive imaging tool for the diagnosis and staging of breast cancers. High spatial resolution is a requirement to ensure accurate lesion evaluation, along with fat suppression for assessment of lesion morphology and margins. Active fat suppression such as by chemical shift selective saturation requires homogeneous magnetic field across the entire field-of-...

HE MECHANISM WHEREBY water-insoluble fat can pass through the intestinal epithelium and into the blood has been a very intriguing as well as a most refractory problem. Obviously, the fat must either pass as particles or it must be solubilized, and various theories have been devised based on both possibilities. Most studies on the degree of hydrolysis of fat during digestion have been undertaken...

The bottom line is this: when patients are advised to have a coronary angiogram, chances are eight out of ten that they do not need it. The critical factor in whether a pa‐ tient needs coronary artery by‐ pass surgery or angioplasty is how well the left ventricular pump is working, not the de‐ gree of blockage or the number of arteries affected. The left ventricle (chamber) of the heart is resp...
