OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to elucidate possible elements in minimal amounts of fluid (MF) in the temporomandibular joint by analyzing signal intensities in T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) magnetic resonance (MR) images. STUDY DESIGN Fifteen joints (15 patients) with MF were subjected to MR imaging to obtain T2-weighted and FLAIR images. Regions of interes...

We describe a case of multiple hydatid cysts in the cerebral subarachnoid space. The diagnosis was based on clinical findings, latex test results, cerebrospinal fluid examination, and MR imaging findings.

The reconstruction of PET brain data in a PET/MR hybrid scanner is challenging in the absence of transmission sources, where MR images are used for MR-based attenuation correction (MR-AC). The main challenge of MR-AC is to separate bone and air, as neither have a signal in traditional MR images, and to assign the correct linear attenuation coefficient to bone. The ultra-short echo time (UTE) MR...

Abstract Our understanding of magnetic reconnection (MR) under chromospheric conditions remains limited. Recent observations have demonstrated the important role ion–neutral interactions in dynamics chromosphere. Furthermore, comparison between spectral profiles and synthetic events suggests that current MHD approaches appear to be inconsistent with observations. First, collisions multithermal ...

Magneto rheological fluid (MRF) is a smart fluid whose properties can be controlled with the help of metal particles and magnetic field. These fluids have the ability to transmit force in a controlled manner with the help of magnetic field, thus improving their performance especially in areas where controlled fluid motion is required. Some applications of magneto rheological fluid technology ar...

Magneto-rheological fluids (MRF) are suspensions of particles which can be magnetized. MRF exhibit fast, strong and reversible changes in their rheological properties when a magnetic field is applied. A commercially available damping system that takes full advantage of the controllable technology of MRF and delivers valveless damping control appeared on passenger vehicles in 2003. Further comme...

We present a case of acute trichloroethane intoxication caused by inhalation of typewriter correction fluid. CT and MR findings revealed lesions in the basal ganglia and cortex similar to those observed in patients with methanol and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) is one of the most prevalent valvular heart diseases. Its quantitative assessment challenging but crucial for treatment decisions. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), we developed a reduced order model (ROM) describing relationship between MR flow rates, transvalvular pressure differences, and size shape regurgitant orifice. Due to its low cost, this ROM co...

Magnetorheological (MR) dampers are one of the most promising new devices for structural vibration reduction. Because of their mechanical simplicity, high dynamic range, low power requirements, large force capacity, and robustness, these devices have been shown to mesh well with application demands and constraints to offer an attractive means of protecting civil infrastructure systems against s...

PURPOSE We studied intrameatal changes in MR enhancement induced by free-tissue implant over time after surgery for acoustic neurinoma. METHODS Twenty-one patients were examined by MR imaging after suboccipital resection of an acoustic neurinoma. Precontrast and postcontrast MR images were obtained within 3 days after surgery (early MR images), then 6 weeks (intermediate MR images) and 6 mont...
