## Abstract The purpose of this study is (1) to determine the correlation between __T__~1ρ~ and __T__~2~ and degenerative grade in intervertebral discs using in vivo 3.0‐T MRI, and (2) to determine the association between __T__~1ρ~ and __T__~2~ and clinical findings as quantified by the SF‐36 Quest

## Abstract Studies on tumor angiogenesis and antiangiogenic therapies are commonly performed with tumor heterotransplants in nude mice. To monitor therapeutic effects, improved noninvasive analyses of functional data are required, in addition to the assessment of tumor volume and histology. Here,
Background and Objective: Magnetic resonance imaging's (MRI) potential to monitor interstitial laser photocoagulation (ILP) has been previously demonstrated and is further tested here with improved spatial and temporal resolution.

## Abstract __T__~1~‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in conjunction with image and segmentation analysis (i.e., the process of digitally partitioning tissues based on specified MR image characteristics) was evaluated as a noninvasive alternative for differentiating muscle fiber types and
