Human In Vivo Validation of Frequency‐Dependent QTI

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this work is to investigate if q‐space trajectory imaging (QTI) waveforms can be designed to probe QTI metrics at a single centroid frequency under realistic experimental conditions for in vivo human brain imaging. Methods Realistic diffusion encoding waveforms based on double‐rotation gradient waveform and magic‐angle ...

Amateur Astronomy and Astronomy Education in India

open access: yes, 2015
In India, astronomy has been studied from the beginning of civilization. The word amateur means involvement in work for pleasure rather than as a profession. So, amateur astronomers, in many places, prefer to be called non-professional astronomers.

Free‐Breathing Hepatic Oxygen Extraction Fraction (OEF) Mapping Using Radial GESSE

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Noninvasive assessment of hepatic oxygenation is relevant for evaluating liver both in acute and long‐term liver pathologies. However, existing methods are limited to single‐slice acquisitions and require breath‐holding. This study aims to develop and evaluate a motion‐robust technique for whole‐liver oxygen extraction fraction (OEF ...

Evaluation of 7 Tesla pTx Body Coils Regarding Transmit and Receive Performance

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Most sites develop and use custom coils for 7 T body MRI since no standard pTx body coil exists, leading to diverse coil designs differing in transmit element type, layout, and number of receive channels. This study investigates and compares eight existing coils, including one remote body coil array and seven local arrays, regarding ...

The State of Astronomy Education in the U.S.

open access: yes, 1996
I would like to set the scene for the discussion that will follow in this book and bring up a few disturbing points which I believe any discussion about astronomy education will ultimately have to address.

Ultimate Intrinsic SNR Depends on B0 Orientation

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose This work aims to investigate the effect of B0$$ {B}_0 $$ orientation on the uiSNR in MRI. Methods Electromagnetic simulations were performed on both realistic body models and simplified geometric models. Comparisons between (1) opposite B0$$ {B}_0 $$ directions along the head‐foot (HF) axis, corresponding to head‐first and feet‐first ...

Design of an In Vivo‐Like Phantom for Quantitative Body CEST MRI

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To design and validate a reproducible in vivo‐like fat‐containing CEST phantom that enables robust quantitative CEST MRI for body applications by providing physiologically realistic relaxation properties, relevant endogenous CEST contrasts (amide, guanidino, rNOE, and semi‐solid MT), and a controlled fat component.
