Dual-encoded magnetization transfer and diffusion imaging and its application to tract-specific microstructure mapping [PDF]
We present a novel dual-encoded magnetization transfer (MT) and diffusion-weighted sequence and demonstrate its potential to resolve distinct properties of white matter fiber tracts at the sub-voxel level. The sequence was designed and optimized for maximal MT contrast efficiency.

Bile dynamics within the biliary tract and microfluidic-based bile component detection: A review [PDF]
Bilestones are solid masses found in the gallbladder or biliary tract, which block the normal bile flow and eventually result in severe life-threatening complications. Studies have shown that bilestone formation may be related to bile flow dynamics and the concentration level of bile components.
