## Abstract Stenosis phantoms were created to study the ability of βblack bloodβ methods to image a vessel stenosis in the presence of pulsatile flow. Black blood images were acquired with a modified TurboFLASH (fast lowβangle shot) method that eliminates flow signal by applying a set of prepulses
While the general theory of measuring organ perfusion using exogenously administered freely diffusible tracers was originally formulated over 40 years ago, the application of NMR techniques for tracer detection is a recent development. A brief theoretical review and discussion of the literature vali
The purpose of this study was to scrutinize the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-performed measurements to compare arterial flow patterns in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD), healthy volunteers (HV) and endurance athletes (EA). MRI blood flow data were partially
The paper presents an active-contour segmentation method for 2D structures in MR images. The method combines two approaches to active contour segmentation, known as balloons and snakes. This makes the method shape independent and accurate. New anti-tangling features were introduced to improve segmen
