A Semi-parametric Technique for the Quantitative Analysis of Dynamic Contrast-enhanced MR Images Based on Bayesian P-splines [PDF]
, 2008 Dynamic Contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) is an important tool for detecting subtle kinetic changes in cancerous tissue. Quantitative analysis of DCE-MRI typically involves the convolution of an arterial input function (AIF) with a ...

Utility of Gd-EOB-DTPA-Enhanced MRI in Diagnosing Small Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2009 We describe an 8-mm hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with hepatitis C virus-related cirrhosis in a 74-year-old woman. Ultrasound (US) revealed an 8-mm hyperechoic nodule in segment 6 of the liver.

Synthesis and application of new gadolinium-porphyrins as potential MR imaging contrast agents for cancer detection in nude mice [PDF]
, 2001 Two new potential magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents, Gd-hematoporphyrin (Gd-H) and Gd-tetra-carboranylmethoxyphenyl-porphyrin (Gd-TCP), were synthesized and applied to nude mice with human melanoma (MM-138) xenografts.

Gadolinium-DTPA enhanced MRI in neonatal osteomyelitis of the cervical spine
The British Journal of Radiology, 1992 Although the radiographic features of neonatal osteomyelitis are well described, spinal localizations are very rare and occur in about 2–4%. Clinical presentation with paresis and paralysis occurs in less than 1% (Resnick & Niwayama, 1988). In the neonate negative bone scintigraphy in the presence of bony destruction is not inconsistent with ...
