Salivary glands: echo-planar versus PROPELLER Diffusion-weighted MR imaging for assessment of ADCs.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: To compare the image distortion and the quantification variation in parotid gland apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) on periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction (PROPELLER) versus echo-planar ... Read more...

Effects of nafamostat mesilate on coagulopathy with chronic aortic dissection.

29 Sep 2009 A 65-year-old man with chronic aortic dissection experienced two massive subcutaneous hemorrhages. Laboratory data indicated disseminated intravascular coagulation, whereas a contrast computed tomographic scan revealed a dilatated aortic arch with a ... Read more...

Numerical and in vivo validation of fast cine displacement-encoded with stimulated echoes (DENSE) MRI for quantification of regional cardiac function.

30 Aug 2009 Quantitative assessment of regional cardiac function can improve the accuracy of detecting wall motion abnormalities due to heart disease. While recently developed fast cine displacement-encoded with stimulated echoes (DENSE) MRI is a promising ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Echo-Planar Imaging'

Definition: A type of MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING that uses only one nuclear spin excitation per image and therefore can obtain images in a fraction of a second rather than the minutes required in traditional MRI techniques. It is used in a variety of medical and scientific applications.
