Forty-two temporomandibular joints (TMJs) in 21 asymptomatic volunteers were visualized
by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The subjects, 12 males and nine females, were …

The NMR image is dependent on multiple tissue parameters: hydrogen density, relaxation
times T 1 and T 2 , and flow. From the acquired intensity images, T 1 , T 2 , and hydrogen …

The hope that MRI relaxation time signatures would identify tissues, specifically, malignancies,
has not been realized. This is due much less to measurement inaccuracies than to a …

Principal component analysis (PCA), a common tool from multivariate statistical analysis, has
been implemented into the computer display system of a MR imaging device. PCA allows …

Hybrid imaging techniques have been proposed as a means of decreasing imaging time
without the cost and technical constraints of echo planar imaging. With this technique phase …

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is unique among imaging modalities in that image
contrast can be varied over a wide range by manipulation of the acquisition parameters. The …

The authors developed a system for ultrafast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols at
low field. The system design permits the acquisition of the raw data in the background while …

The imaging capabilities of the germanium camera, (high spatial resolution and scatter rejection)
combined with processing to recover loss of resolution at depth, have resulted in single-…

Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging is a rapidly evolving modality which has aroused great
excitement in the medical community (1,2). NMR has shown excellent soft tissue contrast …

For magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head a TR of about 2.0 seconds has been found
to give excellent sensitivity to desease. If a flip angle less than 90/sup 0/ is used for initial …
