Liver biopsy is the gold standard for assessing fibrosis but has several limitations. We evaluated a noninvasive method, so-called diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWMRI), which measures the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of water, for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis in patients
## Abstract ## Purpose To crossβvalidate the magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) technique with a clinical device, based on an ultrasound elastometry system called Fibroscan. ## Materials and Methods Ten healthy subjects underwent an MRE and a Fibroscan test. The MRE technique used a round pne
## Abstract A theoretical and experimental evaluation of existing broadband decoupling methods with respect to their utility for in vivo ^1^Hβ^13^C NMR spectroscopy is presented. Simulations are based on a modified product operator formalism, while an experimental evaluation is performed on in vitr
## Abstract Lowβresolution proton magnetic resonance (PMR) has been advocated as a rapid screening technique to determine rubber in guayule (__Parthenium argentatum__ Gray). The technique was evaluated in two laboratories against a modification of the Soxhlet procedure using samples of guayule mate
