AbstractIn the near future there would be a need for a high field MRI contrast agent for the MRI diagnostic due to the several disadvantages of Gd-based complexes, such as short circulation time and decrease in efficiency at high magnetic field i.e., greater than 3 T. The lanthanide-based nanoparticle can be an alternative to these complexes due to...

BackgroundMen with the hereditary peroxisomal disorder X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) are at risk of developing inflammatory demyelinating lesions in the brain. In the absence of inflammatory (post-contrast enhancing) lesions on MRI cognitive function is considered spared, but some form of cognitive dysfunction may nevertheless be present. The...

BackgroundPulmonary edema is a cardinal feature of heart failure but no quantitative tests are available in clinical practice. The goals of this study were to develop a simple cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) approach for lung water quantification, to correlate CMR derived lung water with intra-cardiac pressures and to determine its prognost...

AbstractBackgroundBenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common health problem faced by aging men and can be associated with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). BPH patients usually suffer from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) including obstructive and irritative urinary symptoms. The purpose of the current study was to clarify the correlation be...

Recent research has indicated that exposure to residential vegetation (“greenness”) may be protective against cognitive decline and may support the integrity of the corresponding brain structures. However, not much is known about these effects, especially in less affluent countries and in middle-aged populations. In this study, we investigated the ...
Background. Proprioception of fingers is essential for motor control. Reduced proprioception is common after stroke and is associated with longer hospitalization and reduced quality of life. Neural correlates of proprioception deficits after stroke remain incompletely understood, partly because of weaknesses of clinical proprioception assessments. ...

Phantoms mimicking special physiological processes of the human body are essential for evaluating prototypes of medical devices. Especially for thermometric MRI measurements, the temperature distribution in the brain needs to be simulated. Since this parameter is dependent on the tissue perfusion, a new hydrogel by MAGDASSIS et al. was evaluated in...
PURPOSE: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of an abbreviated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol of the foot for the diagnosis of osteomyelitis in patients with acute foot infection. METHODS: This retrospective study evaluated adult patients (age 18 and over) visiting an academic medical center from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2015 who w...

BackgroundIn the recently published article entitled “Ocular ultrasound versus MRI in the detection of extrascleral extension in a patient with choroidal melanoma” Jacobsen et al. describe a case in which a hyper-intense extra-ocular lesion on MRI was erroneously diagnosed as an extrascleral extension of the tumor. Based upon this the authors concl...
