introduction: one of the major causes of image non-uniformity in mri is due to the existence of  non-homogeneity in rf receive and transmit. this can be the most effective source of error in  quantitative  studies  in  mri  imaging.  part  of  this  non-homogeneity  demonstrates  the  characteristics of rf coil and part of it is due to the interaction of rf field with the material being  imaged...

The aim of this research was to compare the data analytic applicability of a backpropagated neural network with that of regression analysis. Thirty individuals between the ages of 64 and 86 (Mean age = 73.6; Mean years education = 15.4; % women = 50) participated in a study designed to validate a new test of spatial ability administered in virtual reality. As part of this project a standard neu...
