Optimization of Diffusion MRI With Consideration of the Signal Decay in Biological Tissues
ABSTRACT Purpose Devising methodology to characterize and optimize acquisition schemes for biological tissues, such as the prostate, that produce model‐based synthetic diffusion‐weighted images and derived model parameters with predictable SNR improvement. Methods The averaging effect (AE) in synthetic diffusion‐weighted images obtained through fitting

ABSTRACT Purpose Axon fiber orientation‐dependent R1 relaxation in human white matter (WM) in vivo at B0 = 1.5 T, 3 T, and 7 T was studied within the framework of the transient hydrogen bond (THB) model, which attributes MR signal relaxation to quantum magnetization interactions of water and motion‐restricted protons in hydrophilic heads of lipid ...

ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this study is to improve the traditional T1‐weighted (T1w) over T2‐weighted (T2w) ratio as a proxy for myelin by investigating the optimal T2w TE and combination of exponent‐weighted T1w and T2w images (T1wx1/T2wx2). Methods T1w and T2w Gradient And Spin Echo (GRASE) data were acquired from 14 volunteers, 6 of whom had a ...

ABSTRACT Purpose Blood T1 is a key parameter for hemodynamic quantification in both non‐contrast‐ and contrast‐enhanced imaging. Individual vessel T1 has been measured using a modified Look–Locker scheme with multi‐shot EPI or FLASH in high spatial resolution, requiring ∼1 min.

ABSTRACT Purpose Oscillating‐gradient spin‐echo (OGSE) diffusion MRI probes cell geometry and membrane integrity through the frequency‐dependence of kurtosis, but prior studies have reported inconsistent findings depending on how frequency is varied. We compared frequency‐dependent kurtosis in the human brain under two regimes: varying frequency with ...

The cardiac Purkinje network is essential for synchronized ventricular activation but remains difficult to visualize with conventional MRI due to limited structural contrast. This study demonstrates that inhomogeneous magnetization transfer imaging provides enhanced contrast that differentiates free‐running Purkinje fibers, Purkinje‐Myocardial Junction,

Molecular phylogenetic markers used to be ubiquitously obtained by Sanger sequencing, while recently, next generation sequencing (NGS) approaches have become popular alternatives. In this study, a pipeline utilizing Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) amplicon sequencing (amplicon‐seq) was examined as an alternative to Sanger sequencing, with nine loci [
