Motion Mitigation Techniques for Abdominal and Cardiac MR Imaging
ABSTRACT MRI of the heart and abdominal organs provides unparalleled soft tissue contrast and quantitative biomarkers, yet remains highly susceptible to physiological motion. Contractions of the myocardium, respiratory excursions, peristalsis, vascular pulsatility, and unpredictable bulk patient movement generate artifacts that impair image quality ...

ABSTRACT Purpose To develop a free‐breathing method for multi‐slice co‐registered cardiac T1, T2, and ADC maps using single‐shot spin‐echo echo planar imaging (SE‐EPI). Methods T1, T2, and diffusion weighted images in five slices were acquired with SE‐EPI readouts during free breathing using interleaved acquisition of slices, non‐selective inversion ...

The Effect of Voxel Volume and Voxel Shape on Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging Metrics
ABSTRACT Purpose Cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI) is signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR)‐limited due to diffusion signal attenuation, long echo times from gradient moment nulling, and moderate myocardial T 2$$ {}_2 $$. Increasing voxel volume improves SNR but reduces spatial sensitivity and introduces physiological bias.

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study is to determine whether Angiotensin‐(1–7) [Ang‐(1–7)] alleviates isoproterenol (ISO)–induced cardiac hypertrophy by suppressing excessive autophagy and apoptosis through coordinated Mas receptor (MasR) and angiotensin II type‐2 receptor (AT2R) signaling, and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
