5 Tips For Reducing MRI Claustrophobia

For some patients, getting an MRI (magnetic resonance<br>imaging) scan can elicit thoughts of being trapped in a dark, closed-off<br>tunnel-like machine, and when it comes to thinking about what to expect during<br>their procedure, MRI<br>Claustrophobia is a real issue for some people. Below, we will take a look<br>at some tips for reducing your anxiety

Magnetic Resonance Imaging used to Illustrate Maxwell's Equations

Researchers have now used magnetic resonance imaging to produce a visualization of the lack of electromagnetic fields within a bulk metal strip.

Is magnetic resonance imaging reliable for the evaluation of the ruptured or healed anterior...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred imaging technique to evaluate the intact, ruptured or healed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). However, its effectiveness in the diagnosis of chronic tears with synovialization has not been searched. During conservative treatment of torn ACL, there is a reparative process with proliferation of synovial scar tissue which may produce a bridge. This healing, so called synovialization, may cause ACL to…

Relationship between cardiac deformation parameters measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonance...

Athletic training leads to remodelling of both left and right ventricles with increased myocardial mass and cavity dilatation. Whether changes in cardiac strain parameters occur in response to training is less well established. In this study we investigated the relationship in trained athletes between cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) derived strain parameters of cardiac function and fitness. Thirty five endurance athletes and 35 age and sex matched…

Effects of heart valve prostheses on phase contrast flow measurements in Cardiovascular Magnetic...

Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance is often used to evaluate patients after heart valve replacement. This study systematically analyses the influence of heart valve prostheses on phase contrast measurements in a phantom trial. Two biological and one mechanical aortic valve prostheses were integrated in a flow phantom. B0 maps and phase contrast measurements were acquired at a 1.5 T MR scanner using conventional gradient-echo sequences in predefined distances…
