Comparison of multi echo T2 relaxation and steady state approaches for myelin imaging in the central nervous system

The traditional approach for measuring myelin-associated water with quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses multi-echo T2 relaxation data to calculate the myelin water fraction (MWF). A fundamentally different approach, abbreviated “mcDESPOT”, uses a more efficient steady-state acquisition to generate an equivalent metric (fM). Although previous studies have demonstrated inherent instab

Cumulant expansions for measuring water exchange using diffusion MRI

The rate of water exchange across cell membranes is a parameter of biological interest and can be measured by diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). In this work, we investigate a stochastic model for the diffusion-and-exchange of water molecules. This model provides a general solution for the temporal evolution of dMRI signal using any type of gradient waveform, thereby generalizing the sig

Investigating safety performance of the SAFESTAR system for route-based curve treatment

In order to improve curve safety, warning signs are used to alert drivers to unexpected changes in horizontal alignment and speed variations. While all countries have standards and guidelines for signs, markings and delineations to ensure a uniform system, they do not use them in the same way and choices and combinations may differ. SAFESTAR project promoted a method for establishing uniform curve

Solitary juvenile xanthogranuloma in the spine pretreated with neoadjuvant denosumab therapy followed by surgical resection in a 5-year-old child : case report and literature review

Purpose: We present a case report that describes neoadjuvant denosumab therapy initiated in a child with a solitary giant cell-rich juvenile xanthogranuloma tumor involving the spine, and review the current literature.Methods: A giant cell-rich histiocytic lesion involving the 11th thoracic vertebral body was identified in a healthy 5-year-old girl with persistent back and pelvic pain for several

The effect of free convection on apparent vitamin degradation kinetics

Experimentally determined vitamin degradation kinetic parameters are vital input for process optimization, e.g., of nutrient rich beverages such as milk and fruit juices. The standard method of obtaining these parameters is to subject a test-tube of the nutrient (in its food matrix) to a water bath at elevated temperatures and measure remaining concentration as a function of time. It is well known
