## Abstract A new MRI method is described. It is implemented for the assessment of thermal coagulation after thermal treatment. The method does not require injection of a contrast agent. The image is based on the amount of magnetization exchange between macromolecules and water in the tissue. Coagu
Fresh canine whole blood was exposed in 1.3-mL disposable pipette bulbs with or without added Albunex contrast agent to lithotripter shock waves (rate: 2 Hz; mean pressure amplitude: 14.8 MPa) or 1.28-MHz high-intensity focused ultrasound up to a mean pressure amplitude of 17.8 MPa. Significant shoc
