## Abstract Magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) by means of MRI exploits the mobility of water molecules in tissue and offers an alternative contrast mechanism beyond the more commonly used mechanisms based on relaxation times. A cardiac MTI method was implemented on a commercially available 1.5 T

## Abstract ## Purpose To compare an optimized water selective balanced steadyβstate free precession sequence (WSβbSSFP) with conventional magnetic resonance (MR) sequences in imaging cartilage of osteoarthritic knees. ## Materials and Methods Flip angles of sagittal and axial WSβbSSFP sequences
Static magnetic fields affect the diffusion of biological particles in solutions through the Lorentz force and Maxwell stress. These effects were analyzed theoretically to estimate the threshold field strength for these effects. Our results show that the Lorentz force suppresses the diffusion of cha
## Abstract ## Purpose: To investigate the contrast of threeβdimensional balanced steady state free precession (3D bSSFP) in the two component T2 model and to apply the results to optimize 3D bSSFP for prostate imaging at 1.5 Tesla. ## Materials and Methods: In each of seven healthy volunteers,
## Abstract Liquid phase diffusion experiments have been performed without and with the application of a 0.4 T static magnetic field using a threeβzone DC furnace system. SiGe crystals were grown from the germanium side for a period of 72 h. Experiments have led to the growth of single crystal sect
