Background Magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion and perfusion imaging are used to identify ischaemic penumbra, but there are few comparisons with neuronal loss and ischaemia in vivo. The authors compared N-acetyl …more

Background: MR diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) shows acute ischemic lesions early after stroke so it might improve outcome prediction and reduce sample sizes in stroke treatment trials. Previous studies of DWI …more

AIM: Intralabyrinthine schwannomas (ILS) are rare benign tumours. They are not always recognized on routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We aimed to study the clinical presentation and MRI findings in …more

Magnetic Resonance Elastography directly measures tissue stiffness of an image volume in vivo. The four stages of MRE image processing – unwrap, filter, decompose, and invert – are accomplished by …more

Aim Quantitative MRI assessments of cardiac structure and function are possible and potentially useful for longitudinal clinical monitoring. The aim of this study was to compare the magnitude and repeatability …more

White matter (WM) abnormalities, possibly resulting from hypoperfusion, are key features of the aging human brain. It is unclear, however, whether in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approaches, such as …more

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is a rare, progressive and invariably fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by specific histopathological features. Of the four subtypes of CJD described, the commonest is sporadic CJD (sCJD). …more

Proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has recently emerged as a clinical tool to image the lungs. This paper outlines the current technical aspects of MRI pulse sequences, radiofrequency (RF) coils …more

BACKGROUND: Among the modalities for lung imaging, proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been the latest to be introduced into clinical practice. Its value to replace X-ray and computed tomography …more

BACKGROUND: MRI of the lung is recommended in a number of clinical indications. Having a non-radiation alternative is particularly attractive in children and young subjects, or pregnant women. METHODS: Provided …more

Reaction of the It-vinylidene complexes [Mo-2(eta(5)-C5H5)(2)(mu -SMe)(3)(mu-eta(1):eta(2)-C=CHR)](BF4) (1; R = Tol (1a), n-Pr (1b)) with NaBH4 produced the mu-alkylidyne derivatives [Mo-2(eta(5)-C5H5)(2)(mu-SMe)(3)(mu-SMe)(3)(mu-CCH2R)] (2; R = Tol (2a), n-Pr (2b)) in good …more

Gene gun mucosal DNA immunization of sheep with a plasmid expressing the env gene of Maedi-Visna virus (MVV) was used to examine the protection against MVV infection in sheep from …more
