conclusions ti is an important parameter to consider in the relationship between si and nanoparticle concentrations. an increase in ti leads to a decrease in the range of linearity. results the results indicate that si depended on the concentration of nanoparticles and ti. in addition, si increased by increasing the tis ranging from 200 to 400 ms for all studied concentrations. the linear relat...

For an internal conductivity image, magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography MREIT injects an electric current into an object and measures the induced magnetic flux density, which appears in the phase part of the acquired MR image data. To maximize signal intensity, the injected current nonlinear encoding ICNE method extends the duration of the current injection until the end of the M...

In radiofrequency (RF) coil design for ultra-high-field magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, short RF wavelengths present various challenges to creating a big volume coil. When imaging a human body using an ultra-high magnetic field MR imaging system (magnetic flux density of 7 Tesla or more), short wavelength may induce artifacts from dielectric effect and other factors. To overcome these problems...

BACKGROUND In vitro testing is used to determine safe parameters before performing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on a patient with an implant. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate a cardiac pacemaker using a 1.5-T magnetic resonance (MR) system. METHODS A modern cardiac pacemaker (INSIGNIA I PLUS, Model 1298, and FINELINE II, Model 4471, pacing leads; Guidant Corporation,...

The possibility is studied of numerical modeling of magnetic field deformations in the environment of measured diamagnetic and paramagnetic samples for the purposes of studying magnetic resonance (MR) image deformations owing to the susceptibility of heterogeneous materials (objects). The verification was realized using a simple sample configuration (circular plate), and the numerically modeled...

This paper discusses the optimal design of MR SAM a robot for tool placement during magnetic resonance image-guided surgery. The robot is required to operate in a magnetic environment, therefore a unique set of constraints was placed on the design. The prime constraint was that the final design must be MR safe. This requires the actuators to be placed away from the centre of the imaging area, w...

A clinical example is presented that demonstrates the capabilities of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosis a subchondral insufficiency fracture medial femoral condyle. An MR study protocol has been demonstrated allows ensure successful this type fracture.

background: dyssynergic defecation is a major cause of chronic functional constipation as a common digestive complaint. we clinically evaluated the effects of biofeedback therapy on the pelvic floor motion indices through magnetic resonance (mr) defecography, quality of life and depression in patients with dyssynergic defecation.   methods : in this clinical trial study, among patients referrin...

background: in this study the basic radiation properties of n-isopropylacrylamaide polymer gel dosimeter were determined together with verification of its soft tissue equivalency. materials and methods: the nipam gel was prepared and irradiated approximately 2 h after manufacturing. the magnetic resonance (mr) images were made 24 h after irradiation. the nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) respons...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study to present the results of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided cutting needle biopsy procedures of suspicious breast lesions that can be solely detected on Magnetic resonance (MR) examination. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 48 patients with 48 lesions which were solely be observed in breast MRI, indistinguishable in ultrasonography and mammogra...
