The accuracy and efficiency of protocols to measure intracranial volume (ICV) from volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies has not been formally analyzed. The ICV of 30 control participants was obtained by tracing every slice of a MRI data set on which the cranial cavity appeared, and co

โฆ Synopsis
In this study, we describe a method for imaging intracerebral electrodes within a threedimensional reconstructed image of the brain. A three-dimensional image of the brain was reconstructed from serial magnetic resonance images. The locations of intracerebral electrodes were determined from anterior-posterior and lateral skull X-rays performed after intracerebral electrode implantation. The three-dimensional reconstruction of the brain including electrode locations was displayed using IRIS Explorer Software (Silicon Graphics, Mountainview, CA). This method might improve the interpretation of electrical patterns of seizure activity recorded from intracerebral electrodes. โฒ94 Academic Press, Inc.

An imaging sequence based on a spin-echo train has been developed which is free from geometric distortions in the imaging plane due to main field inhomogeneity. Such inhomogeneities, and chemical shifts, cause only a displacement in the selected slice, which is minimized by the use of high gradient
Retinal hypoxia is hypothesized to initiate angiogenesis, a leading cause of blindness in developed countries. Attempts to test this hypothesis suffer from the need to use highly invasive oxygen electrodes. In this communication, noninvasive and quantitative mapping of ocular oxygenation using magne
